Why small lots cost more per acre
In New Hampshire, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $83,000, which works out to about $177,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $120,000, or about $19,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $344,000, only about $2,200 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. A small lot near a town is priced as a house site, with road frontage and a buildable spot. Large wooded tracts are priced mainly as timber and recreation land.
How to estimate what your land is worth
Start with recent sales of land like yours: the same county, a similar size, and a similar use. Then adjust for what buyers check first. Legal road access, power and water at the road, how much of the parcel sits in a flood zone, and how steep or wet the ground is can each move the price a lot. In New Hampshire, ledge, wetlands, and steep slopes can limit where a house or septic system can go, so a site that can pass a septic test is worth far more.
