Virginia farm real estate averages $6,100 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 19 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 Virginia is $6,100 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 Tennessee ($6,150) but above North Carolina ($5,470) next door. Virginia 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 Virginia land:
