Nationally, 5 acres of raw or rural land runs roughly $11,300 to $19,500, around $3,000 an acre, but it swings hard by state and by what the land is.
There is no single price for 5 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: 5 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 5 acres, very different price depending on where it sits:
| State | Per acre | Typical 5 acre range |
|---|---|---|
| New Mexico | $500/ac | $1,900 to $3,300 |
| Texas | $2,000/ac | $7,700 to $13,300 |
| Tennessee | $4,200/ac | $15,900 to $27,600 |
| Ohio | $6,500/ac | $24,200 to $41,900 |
| California | $9,500/ac | $35,400 to $61,400 |
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 5 acre parcel can be worth a fraction of a 5 acre tract with paved frontage and power.
