1 Acre of Land For Sale in Georgia

One acre in Georgia can sit at a very different price point depending entirely on where your property is located. In the Atlanta metropolitan area and its expanding ring counties, your 1 acre of unimproved rural land within 30 to 45 minutes of the city can list at premium prices because of spillover demand from one of the fastest-growing metros in the Southeast. In South Georgia’s agricultural belt, that same 1 acre footprint in Ben Hill, Irwin, Tift, or Turner County may list at relatively affordable prices because these counties sit farther from major demand corridors and the market is driven more by local agricultural buyers than metro growth. If you are looking in the middle tier between metro Atlanta and the deep South Georgia agricultural counties, areas such as Jackson, Barrow, Walton, and Newton counties can give you rural acreage with reasonable access to jobs and services while helping you avoid suburban density. At 1 acre in these counties, you may see moderate prices depending on road access and utility availability. Georgia’s conservation use covenant program can reduce property taxes on qualifying parcels of 10 acres or more, so your 1 acre parcel generally will not receive that benefit. However, property tax rates in many rural Georgia counties are modest enough that your annual tax burden on a 1 acre rural lot may still remain manageable.
