Average Price per Acre in Arkansas by County (2025 Update)

Arkansas land values vary dramatically by county. Whether you own farmland, recreational tracts, or subdivision lots, the key is knowing the true market demand in your area.

Introduction

If you’re thinking about selling land in Arkansas, one of the first questions you probably have is: “What is my land worth per acre?”

The truth is, the average price per acre in Arkansas varies widely depending on the county, type of land, access, and demand. A one-acre lot in Pulaski County might sell for thousands more than the same-size parcel in Fulton or Izard County.

This 2025 update will break down the average price per acre by county, factors that affect value, and how you can get a real offer for your property.

Statewide Average Price per Acre

As of early 2025, the average price per acre in Arkansas is roughly:

Farmland: $4,000–$7,000 per acre (higher in Delta counties)
Pastureland: $2,500–$5,000 per acre
Recreational Land: $1,500–$3,500 per acre
Subdivision / Residential Lots: $0.25–$1.25 per square foot, or $5,000–$30,000 per lot depending on size and location

County-by-County Averages

Pulaski County (Little Rock area):
$15,000–$40,000 for small infill lots; $5,000–$8,000 per acre for larger tracts

Benton County (Northwest AR growth area):
$25,000–$75,000 per acre near Bentonville or Rogers; rural parcels $7,500–$12,000

Garland County (Hot Springs):
$10,000–$30,000 for residential lots; recreational land $3,000–$5,000 per acre

Saline & Faulkner Counties:
$8,000–$15,000 per acre, depending on utilities and road access

Sharp, Izard, Fulton Counties (subdivisions like Cherokee Village):
$1,000–$4,000 per lot; many sell for less if HOA/SID dues are attached

Delta Counties (Desha, Chicot, Phillips):
Farmland can reach $6,000–$7,500 per acre due to fertile soil, but residential lots are very low demand

What Affects Land Value

Road Access: Paved vs. gravel vs. landlocked
Utilities: Water/sewer nearby = higher value
Zoning: Residential/commercial zoning boosts price
Market Demand: Growing counties = faster sales
Taxes/HOA Fees: Unpaid taxes or SID fees lower value
