Anybody have any thoughts to what some wetland would be worth per acer got asked if id be interested in piece of property half of it is wetlands other is farm ground location is in pennsylvania!
 
With wetlands figure it to be worth very little for land value for you to use. Seriously they are pretty much untouchable due to federal regulations. I mean they have a lot of value especially if you like hunting, fishing, outdoor aspects. They really are important for ecological value but you arent allowed to drain them or pretty much touch them. Where at in PA? I'm from here and have had to deal with some of the regulations that surround wetlands.
 
Didnt like my answer below huh? ;)

Can you make hay on the wet stuff, or is it really wet?

It would depend on whether you were a duck hunter. You might be able to lease it to a hunter for the season to offset some cost of the land.

That varies widely. I bought 50 acres of half-woods( (that had been logged before the sale) and half-wetlands for $10,000 near Watertown NY. The guy who sold it to me had paid $5000 for it 6 months earlier. Last year I sold it for $45,000. Seems property values went up because of Fort Drum.

I bought 20 acres of 1/2 wetland and woods again in Otsego County, NY last summer. Paid $7800 for it. Well wooded (in the dry section) with century old white oaks and hemlocks.

Wish I had some oaks on my property.
