Get Your Cash OfferWhy We Buy King George Property
King George County sits on Virginia's Northern Neck peninsula, hemmed in by two major rivers — the Potomac to the north, across which lies Charles County, Maryland, and the Rappahannock to the south. The terrain is gently rolling, with a mix of row-crop and hay farmland, mixed hardwood and pine timberland, and riverfront parcels along both waterways.
Demand here is shaped by two forces. The roughly 11,000-plus jobs at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, the county's largest employer, keep steady interest in rural home-and-acreage parcels near Dahlgren and King George village. And spillover growth from the Fredericksburg/I-95 corridor has pushed exurban and recreational-land buyers further out the peninsula, giving well-located tracts here more than one kind of buyer.

King George County Land Market in 2026
Land-listing aggregator data (LandSearch/Land.com, 2026) puts the median asking price for King George County land at roughly $12,245 per acre, while sold-parcel data shows a median closer to $29,701 per acre. That wide spread reflects the county's mix of small waterfront lots and larger rural tracts, not a single prevailing market rate.
Treat both figures as illustrative marketplace numbers rather than a government-audited benchmark. Virginia does not publish official county-level per-acre farmland values the way USDA NASS does at the state level, so aggregator medians are the closest available proxy — and they swing hard with whatever happens to be listed in a given quarter.
Recent listings activity in the county has included roughly 2,000 acres of combined farm and rural land on the market at a combined value near $46 million, a reminder that inventory here is thin enough that a handful of large tracts can move the averages.

How the Process Works in Virginia
Deed Type
Virginia sales customarily convey title via a General or Special Warranty Deed.
Where Closings Happen
Virginia uses a "settlement agent" model — an attorney must supervise settlement and prepare the deed, but the closing itself is commonly run by a title company. Either an attorney's office or a title company can serve as the venue.
Typical Timeline
Cash sales without financing contingencies can close in as little as 1–2 weeks once title work is clear. PlaceAcre's direct offers often close within 24–48 hours of offer acceptance.
Disbursement
Funds are disbursed by the settlement agent at closing, typically via wire transfer.
