Depending on what you have, I'm guessing $2,000-4,500/acre range. Others probably know more than me tho. Check out the hunting real estate sites, but then always remember asking price isn't always what they get!

From what I have seen online, I would say 2000-2500 per acre??

This is a very good resource and should be extremely helpful to anybody looking to buy or sell.

2500 would be the low end of the price range. I keep thinking it will all fall in but I was wrong.

If it's the up-keep you're worried about, you should just hire a free land-manager such as myself... 
Prices will not fall. A piece in my area just sold for 3500/acre. Mostly timber with small fields within. Keep in mind folks will pay a lot of money for recreation or to be entertained. Hunting is a form of both. To have a piece of heaven to disappear to and not be bothered is worth a ton to many. Of course land is finite and people will pay to have some. Awesome investment. In 2008/09 when the market crashed rec land was steady and increased a bit.

Land has continued to climb and Is solid investment don't know your situatuion but if property is paid for my want to consider holding on to it as prices show no signs of comming down. I have couple of buddies who have been wanting to lease some ground near me as my 60 is not big enough and I try to keep pressure to a minimum. Could consider leasing and have tenants take care of property plus puts a liitle cash in your pocket each year and u keep farm. Just a thought

looking to sell my 180 in SE Iowa. I am looking for Bigger and just a little closer to me. No neighbor problems and more diversity than one guy can even hunt. I still am in awe every time I look at it. You will not see another person once you get on the property. potential is limitless in this area and many big bucks have been seen as 2 weeks ago me and a booner met face to face at 10yds on the ground. PM me if you are SERIOUS and want to buy.

Please don't take this the wrong way but the deer in the pic is not a booner.
Land value is in the eye of the beholder. I recently paid what I thought was maybe $500-$1000 more per acre for 93 acres of good timber. It bordered my ground and I knew once sold I'd likely never get another chance at it. Landowner liked me (I cut his trails and watched over the place for trespassers) so he gave me first shot at it without going to a Realtor or auction. Needless to say his family wasn't too happy not to get a shot at it.
