100 Acre Land For Sale

One hundred acres gives you a benchmark rural property size where income production and long-term asset value can become much more important parts of your ownership strategy. If your 100 acres is a loblolly pine plantation in Alabama or Arkansas approaching final harvest, the property may produce 8,000 to 10,500 tons of merchantable timber, creating a harvest event that can return a meaningful portion of your original purchase price depending on stumpage values. If you own a 100 acre Midwest whitetail property in Illinois or Indiana with documented harvest history and managed food plots, the recreational improvements may add a premium of $500 to $3,000 per acre above comparable bare land. A 100 acre farm in Indiana’s Wabash County generating cash rent at current USDA benchmark rates may return roughly $30,000 to $50,000 per year before taxes and financing costs. Pricing at this size ranges considerably, from around $150,000 for raw recreational ground in parts of the rural Deep South to more than $1 million for premium tillable farmland in strong Midwestern agricultural counties. Before you close, you should complete a full boundary survey with corner markers, commission a timber cruise from a licensed consulting forester if timber is present, examine mineral rights, and review drainage and wetland conditions with a qualified professional.
