Pennsylvania farm real estate averages $8,490 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 13 of 48 states, above the national average. 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 Pennsylvania is $8,490 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 sits below New Jersey ($16,600) but above New York ($4,300) next door. Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $8,200/ac | $6,100 to $10,600 |
| 5 acres | $5,900/ac | $22,000 to $38,100 |
| 10 acres | $5,100/ac | $38,200 to $66,200 |
| 40 acres | $4,200/ac | $125,300 to $217,200 |
| 160 acres | $3,500/ac | $415,700 to $720,500 |
Land use changes the number sharply. Rough per acre figures for a 10 acre parcel in Pennsylvania:
