New Jersey farm real estate averages $16,600 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 2 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 New Jersey is $16,600 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 New York at $4,300 an acre. New Jersey 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 New Jersey land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $15,900/ac | $12,000 to $20,700 |
| 5 acres | $11,500/ac | $43,000 to $74,500 |

| 160 acres | $6,800/ac | $812,700 to $1,408,700 |
