10 Places Where Land Is Still Shockingly Cheap in 2026

If you're looking for cheap land in the U.S. in 2026, some surprisingly low prices are still showing up across the country. This video explores 10 places where large parcels can still be found at prices far below broad statewide or national land benchmarks. From 35 acres in Maine for $17,500 to 240 acres in Nevada for $120,000, we look at real property examples in Maine, Arkansas, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, West Texas, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Wyoming, and New Mexico. You'll see the price per acre, how each property compares with USDA figures where relevant, and the trade-offs involving access, water, utilities, zoning, roads, and development potential. The biggest lesson? Cheap land isn't necessarily cheap to use. A low purchase price can come with major infrastructure or access costs, so the total project matters just as much as the price of the dirt.
