Wow that’s great. I live in the middle of Delaware and your looking at 35-50K per acre, forty minutes north or south of me I’m going to pay 80-100k per acre. I will say the south west part of the state is our most affordable part at about 25-30k per acre.

No wonder people join hunting leases! Seriously, folks actually pay 35G to 100G per acre? The low end of that would be 2.8 million bucks for 80 acres!

Up here your talking around a $1,000 an acre.Of course,that depends on what your looking at.Lake front property is considerably more,and I've seen property that was back in the bush aways with poor access and no power sell for less.

The 100k land is where a lot of people are and the coast, near the beaches. Good land goes for 25-50k, farm land and wooded lots usually. You can find some lots for less but it usually has timber easements or some kind of problem. Hunting lease hear is usually only a couple grand a year if you can get a group of people together to split the costs. Or a hunt club will be about 1k or so. Well knock me over. I just looked and they have a couple wood lots that are between 2-4K per acre. They are timber conservation easements. Says it already has trails and is good for hunting. Way down away from me though.

In WI recreational land values vary considerably based on a few of the following 1. Is it upland, low and or wet? 2. How close or far away is good rec land from population centers such as Fox Valley, Twin Cities, South East WI, Dane Co, Chicago 3. What is the rec land going to be used for? as to type and species of hunting, managed forest harvest, rec usage as to 4-wheelers etc. 4. Is there water frontage associated with the land, accessible lake frontage, moving water frontage, poorly drained frontage 5. Economy of the state or nation where potential buyers live and work 6. Turn over has been a bit higher the last decade as a lot of persons who bought in the 80s and 90s lives have changed and or families are changed. 7. Road frontage and type of road, access to large tracts of public land nearby, electrical power etc. 8. Tax laws or taxes for rec land is high compared to value and when owners wanted to use the property for say hunting, managed forest etc. they tolerated that. Now with changes in habitat, populations of wildlife, forest values many are looking to sell. More would be sold if many owners would accept the current market prices that are being offered.

Acres and acres of hunting land is dirt cheap in Northern Ontario,and it is often bordered by thousands of acres of crown land,river frontage etc.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Not central illinois. Everything is expensive here. The county tells you how much your place is worth for taxes but when you sell you can't get that and then they that say it's still worth more and it's not their fault if you do a bad job selling it. $5,000 an acre for rough ground. Three times that for tillable land. We also have lots of idiots posing as realtor selling hunting ground.
Just passin through

Cheapest land is always where no one wants to live and where there are no jobs. Recreation land with a bowling alley or race track or water park on it naturally costs more, but has greater profitability potential. So, are they giving away land in Detroit or East L.A.?

I believe they are paying people to take it
