How much did you all pay for your land? I am interested in some land in a village in wilts. No facilities (may be water but no buildings/elec), newly stock fenced, good road access, good hacking. Average quality grazing but does not appear to have been well maintained recently.
 
10K per acre here in Lincs near us. It seems to me that the smaller the amount of land the higher per acre the price.
 
Agricultural land c.£6k to £10k per acre, add more if it's in a village as it could have development potential some time in the future. I also echo the above, smaller plots more per acre
 
Im in the south-east, west berks, and find it is more pricey here, some places are even £15-20,000 per ache, just grazing land

Yes a local estate agent said that about around here too. He suggested £8k for the first two or three acres (per acre), then £5k for further acres.

Really it depends who would want it, if there are a few people after it, or even more so, builder sniffing, and any chance of PP, the price could rocket.
 
One of the farmers in Melksham charges £1 per acre per day. That's less than half of the livery cost I pay for one horse. Very very tempting but comes with nothing, not even running water, so I know I would regret a move come the nasty months.
 
Ooops, sales around here recently have been at around 10-12k per acre.

There will be 4 acres with small stone barn and larger corrugated barn coming up for sale in the next 6 months at a guide of £125k...so prices depend entirely on what is on the land.
 
I think this plot is going to be top end as while it is poor looking at the moment it is in a good spot and has plenty of potential. I suspect a few of the owners of houses that back on to it will be after it too. Never mind.
 
This corner of the SE, its ranging from 10k to 20k per acre (just grazing) then each stable adds at least another 5+k to the acreage.
eg: 3 acres with 4 stables was under offer in less than 24 hrs last week for well over the asking price of 'in excess of £90k' (they had a bidding war - going upwards on it :eek:) There isn't any mains power to it either.
