Ohio farm real estate averages $9,350 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 9 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 Ohio is $9,350 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 Pennsylvania at $8,490 an acre. Ohio is in the Midwest. Productive cropland pulls the average up here, so raw or wooded parcels usually trade well under the headline number.
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 Ohio land:
