Hunting-lease rates per acre, by tract size
Annual lease rates per acre, by the size of the tract. Smaller ground asks more per acre. Where yours lands in the range depends on game, access, and how the land is managed.
| Tract size | Typical rate per acre, per year |
|---|---|
| Under 50 acres | $25–$75/ac |
| 50–99 acres | $10–$55/ac |
| 100–249 acres | $10–$40/ac |
| 250–499 acres | $10–$35/ac |
| 500+ acres | $5–$25/ac |
Deliberately wide ranges, not a valuation. Actual rates vary widely by tract, game, access and county.

Pricing your hunting lease
- How much can I lease my land for hunting?
- Most hunting leases run somewhere around $10–$50 per acre per year, and small tracts often ask more per acre than that. Game, habitat, access, the county and the size of the tract all move it. In Georgia, University of Georgia survey data puts deer leases around $16/acre on average. Use the calculator above for a deliberately broad range, then talk it through with us. You set the price.
- How much should I charge for a hunting lease per acre?
- Start from the range for ground your size (see the table on this page), then adjust up for good deer/turkey habitat, food plots, water, and easy access — or down for open ground and limited game. Pricing per acre is the standard; the calculator gives you the size range, and the adjustments are yours.
- Do bigger properties earn more per acre?
- Usually the opposite — per-acre price tends to be inverse to size. A small, exclusive 40–80 acre tract with good habitat often commands a higher $/acre than a large tract, because hunters pay a premium for private, uncrowded ground. Small parcels still lease well.
- How many acres do I need to lease my land for hunting?
- Less than you'd think. Small tracts lease, and a rough guide is about one hunter per ~33 acres — so 100–200 acres comfortably supports a party. Deer hunting is ideal around 50+ acres, and turkey can work on far less. Don't rule your land out for being small.
- How accurate is this estimate?
- It's deliberately broad: a range for ground your size, not a valuation. Real value depends on your specific game, access, habitat, and local demand. Tell us about your land and we'll talk it through, free and with no obligation. The price is yours to set.
- What does it cost to list my land?
- Nothing up front. There's no fee to talk it through and no fee to list. We only earn a share when your land earns, so we're aligned with you — and you're never locked into a multi-year contract.
