Nationally, 160 acres of raw or rural land runs roughly $213,000 to $369,200, around $1,800 an acre, but it swings hard by state and by what the land is.
There is no single price for 160 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: 160 acres prices at a discount per acre compared with the national base, because large blocks sell for less per acre, since the buyer pool shrinks and financing gets harder.
Same 160 acres, very different price depending on where it sits:
| State | Per acre | Typical 160 acre range |
|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | $296/ac | $35,500 to $61,500 |
| Texas | $1,200/ac | $145,400 to $252,000 |
| Tennessee | $2,500/ac | $301,100 to $521,900 |
| Ohio | $3,800/ac | $457,800 to $793,500 |
| California | $5,600/ac | $670,800 to $1,162,600 |
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 160 acre parcel can be worth a fraction of a 160 acre tract with paved frontage and power.
