More land per dollar than anywhere else in Palm Beach County

Jose's Take

When buyers ask me where they can get a real piece of land in Palm Beach County without an HOA telling them what color to paint their fence, I always point them to The Acreage. I've worked this market for years — you're 15 minutes from Wellington, 20 minutes from West Palm Beach, and you come home to over an acre that's yours. For a family that wants space to raise kids, keep animals, park the boat, and build equity without monthly fees eating into their budget, it's hard to beat.

I told Jose I wanted an acre, no HOA, and room for my horses. He didn't try to talk me out of it or steer me somewhere more convenient. He just found it.

What You'll Pay

What does your budget get you here?

Honest ranges — not the headline number on Zillow.

Under $450K

Land & Fixer-Uppers

Raw 1.25-acre lots for buyers who want to build custom, or occasionally an older home needing significant work. Cash is often preferred at this end given well/septic systems and property condition — this is the entry point for those with the address and the land in mind but a longer timeline.

$450K – $650K

Working-Family Sweet Spot

The heart of the market — a 3-bedroom, 2-bath CBS home, 1,500–2,200 sq ft, 20–40 years old, on a fully fenced 1.25-acre lot, often with a pool and a shop or garage. Many have recently replaced roofs from post-storm rebuilding, a genuinely positive buying signal.

$650K+

Updated & Equestrian Properties

Updated or newer-construction 4–5 bedroom homes on 1.25–2+ acres, often move-in ready with modern systems and pools. Equestrian properties with barns, paddocks, and arena access start here, with some new construction reaching $800K+ on acre-plus lots.
