Land Values in Vermont: What to Know
In recent market data, land in Vermont sold for a median of about $105,000, or about $14,000 per acre, across 1,106 sales in 12 months. Land spent an average of 144 days on the market. The per acre figure is low because many Vermont sales are large wooded tracts.
Prices stay in a narrow band compared with most states. Lamoille County, home of Stowe, sold at about $33,000 per acre and Chittenden County (Burlington) at about $33,000. Grand Isle County on Lake Champlain sold at about $26,000. The cheapest land is in the Northeast Kingdom and the central hills: about $6,200 per acre in Essex County, about $6,500 in Orange County and about $6,900 in Orleans County.
Why small lots cost more per acre
In Vermont, the median lot under 1 acre sold for about $66,000, which works out to about $168,000 per acre. Parcels of 5 to 10 acres sold for about $116,000, or about $17,000 per acre, and tracts of 100 acres or more sold for about $375,000, only about $2,000 per acre. The big tract costs more in total but far less for each acre. A small lot near a village is priced as a house site. A big wooded tract is priced as timber and recreation land, so each extra acre adds little.
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 Vermont, a site that can take a septic system and has year round road access is worth far more.
