Looking at buying some land to build a house.

In Baton Rouge metro area, what would you consider to be a good deal price per acre?

We were interested in buying the property... It's zoned as Flood Zone AE, but I'm not building my house 8+ feet off the ground..

Some guy in the OB forum said, "Everything in Central Zachary area seems like it's 150k for that. Outrageous... Watson Denham same thing."

Well that just means you'd literally live anywhere that's not a city.

That was me... Obviously it's a generalization as there are some properties that aren't outrageous... I just want to know what a fair price per acre is

Unfortunately that is a "fair" price because there's no open land left currently. The only open land is huge acreage owned by families that, as the elders die, will end up selling to developers for subdivsions as opposed to individuals

200K an acre? Is it undeveloped land or is there a home on it?

Base flood is where your slab would have to be right? What's the elevation of the land?
