Texas farm real estate averages $2,970 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 41 of 48 states, below 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 Texas is $2,970 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 Arkansas ($4,250) but above New Mexico ($725) next door. Texas is in the South. Timber, pasture and recreational tracts are common, and road access plus buildability move price as much as soil does.
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 Texas land:
| Parcel size | Per acre | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 acre | $2,900/ac | $2,100 to $3,700 |
| 5 acres | $2,000/ac | $7,700 to $13,300 |
| 10 acres | $1,800/ac | $13,400 to $23,200 |
| 40 acres | $1,500/ac | $43,800 to $76,000 |
| 160 acres | $1,200/ac | $145,400 to $252,000 |
Land use changes the number sharply. Rough per acre figures for a 10 acre parcel in Texas:
| Land type | Per acre |

| Rural homesite | $2,400/ac |
