MakeMe Estimate: $7.76M (estimated market value), with a likely range of $6.03M to $9.31M (half of recent verified sales in this segment landed inside that range). Based on 5 verified arm's-length comparable sales (through 2026-06-01). Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
lower confidence: 1 comparable sale within 3 miles; nearest 2.6 mi. This property type carries wider measured error; treat the estimate as a starting point. Last arm's-length sale: $7,200,000 in 2022. The market has moved since; the estimate reflects current county values and ratios, not that price.

The shaded range is the model's measured error band; about half of verified sales in the segment land inside it. Diamonds: recorded arm's-length sales. Not an appraisal. How this estimate works.
