Land Values in Colorado: What to Know
Recent market data puts the median price of land in Colorado at about $42,900 per acre. The median sale was $115,000, across 7,136 land sales in 12 months, and land took an average of 156 days to sell.
The highest prices are in the mountain resort counties. Summit County is at about $904,400 per acre, and Eagle and Gunnison counties are at about $453,800 and $447,900. Boulder County on the Front Range is at about $286,400. The eastern plains and the San Luis Valley cost far less. Baca County in the southeast corner is about $700 per acre on only 3 sales, Prowers County about $1,200, and Costilla County about $1,800 per acre across 378 sales.
Why small lots cost more per acre
Colorado lots under 1 acre sold for about $522,100 per acre, with a median sale of $120,000. Parcels of 2 to 5 acres sold for about $36,300 per acre and tracts over 100 acres for about $1,700. The 5 to 10 acre group is lower than you might expect, at about $7,900 per acre and a median of $45,000, because many low priced 5 acre lots in rural subdivisions sell each year. Small lots near towns and resorts carry the highest price for each acre.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Look at recent sales of land like yours in the same area, and pick parcels of a similar size. A county median is only a midpoint. Your own price moves up or down with road access, utilities at or near the land, the slope and soil, and any flood zone on the parcel. Land you cannot reach by a legal road is the hardest to sell. In Colorado, water rights and the cost of a well permit also change what buyers will pay.
Our free land value estimator uses the same market data to give a first estimate. County pages such as Costilla County, El Paso County and Park County show local medians.
