What land sells for nearby
Land in Starke County sold for:
- 1 to 10 acres: $9.8k–$17.9k an acre (12 sales, Nov 2023–Sep 2026); median $13.4k
- Lots under 1 acre: $15k–$33k a lot (13 sales, Oct 2024–Sep 2026); median $20k
The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of arm's-length single-parcel land sales. Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: STATS Indiana sales disclosure forms, valid for trending by the county assessor, vacant land with no improvement on the parcel at the sale. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.

About these numbersSources, county file September 2025
Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, September 2025.
Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.
Estimate
Rough estimate: based on typical prices per acre for land this size in Starke and nearby counties. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Half of past estimates were within ±45% (measured across nearby counties); the range covers about 8 in 10. Land only; any building is not included.
