Maryland farm real estate averages $9,750 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 7 of 48 states, well above the national average, among the priciest in the country. Raw and rural parcels usually trade below that.
According to the USDA's 2025 land value survey, the average value of farm real estate in Maryland is $9,750 per acre. That is the all in average across land and buildings, so vacant, wooded or recreational ground typically sells for less per acre, while small buildable lots near a town can sell for more. It runs higher than neighboring Virginia at $6,100 an acre. Maryland is in the Northeast. Parcels are smaller and closer to population here, so per acre prices run high and a buildable lot can be worth a multiple of raw acreage.
Smaller parcels carry a higher price per acre than large blocks, the same land just costs more by the piece. Rough ranges for raw or rural Maryland land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $9,400/ac | $7,000 to $12,200 |
| 5 acres | $6,700/ac | $25,200 to $43,700 |

| 160 acres | $4,000/ac | $477,400 to $827,400 |
