Compared to land in central PA, acreage in northernPotter and Tioga counties is stilldirt cheap.

Have seen some parcels ofover 50 acres, for a bit more than $2000 per acre. With decent road access, available electric and septic approval, might run closer to $3000 pre acre or so, depending on location? Typically acreage next to state land runs a bit higher. Probably still some more remote mountain ground in larger acreage increments, that are less than that per acre.

My uncle made the comment some years back when area farms of 200 acres or so were beginning to fetch$200,000, that he could've bought the entire valley for that much money, back in 1941 when they bought their farm.He and my dadpaid $4000 for roughly 200 acres w/two houses, large bank barn and five outbuildings.



Dad and I bought 23 acres from him in the late 1970s for$8000, to add to the five acres we already had. Could've bought another 9 acres next to it for about $4000 a few years later, but the ol' man wouldn't go for it and I didn't have an extra four grand at the time.
