Nationally, 1 acre of raw or rural land runs roughly $3,100 to $5,400, around $4,200 an acre, but it swings hard by state and by what the land is.
There is no single price for 1 acres. The USDA 2025 national farm real estate average is $4,350 an acre, and raw or wooded ground trades below that. The bigger driver people miss is parcel size itself: 1 acres prices at a premium per acre compared with the national base, because small parcels sell for more per acre, the same way a single can costs more than a case.
Same 1 acres, very different price depending on where it sits:
| State | Per acre | Typical 1 acre range |
|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | $696/ac | $522 to $905 |
| Texas | $2,900/ac | $2,100 to $3,700 |
| Tennessee | $5,900/ac | $4,400 to $7,700 |
| Ohio | $9,000/ac | $6,700 to $11,700 |
| California | $13,200/ac | $9,900 to $17,100 |
Within any state, road access, utilities at the road, zoning and buildability, water, wetlands and usable terrain move the number more than location alone. A landlocked, off grid 1 acre parcel can be worth a fraction of a 1 acre tract with paved frontage and power.
