American Land Equity

About Us image
American Land Equity is a real estate investment group specializing in rural vacant land acquisition. We purchase undeveloped land parcels for future use as rural affordable homesites and recreation while preserving the natural beauty of a Country lifestyle.

What We Look For

We target properties that align with sustainable rural development and long-term value retention. Key criteria include:
  • Buildable acreage with significant road frontage – Ensures easy access and homesite potential.
  • Properties that can pass a perc test for standard septic systems – Critical for off-grid or low-impact housing.
  • Flat or gently rolling topography – Ideal for construction, farming, or recreational use without excessive grading.
  • Proximity to growing rural communities – Within 1–2 hours of mid-sized cities for future demand.
  • No major environmental restrictions – Minimal wetlands, flood zones, or protected habitats.
  • Clear title and no liens – Streamlines the closing process.
  • No leases or structures

How Much Is Rural Land Worth?
Rural land value isn’t one-size-fits-all. We determine fair market value using a data-driven approach:

Factor Impact on Value



Location & AccessPaved road frontage > gravel > dirt; proximity to towns increases value
Zoning & Use RightsResidential/agricultural zoning preferred; restrictions lower value
Topography & SoilBuildable, perc-tested land commands premium
Utilities & InfrastructureNearby power required and public water a plus 
Sold CompsRecent sales of similar size acreage comps within 10-mile radius

Our Promise: Every offer is based on verified recent sold comparables of similar size acreage and features from County records and MLS data — never arbitrary estimates.
