Small, agricultural county with productive farms in the Susquehanna valley.
Montour is PA's smallest county by area but has meaningful productive cropland in the Susquehanna valley around Danville and Washingtonville. Dairy, beef, corn, and forage all support active operations.
Real working farms in active production. Multi-generation family operations dominate, and the local buyer pool for quality farms is consistent.
The county is small, so quality farms come available less often. When they do, the local buyer pool tends to be ready and pricing well usually means quick sale.

Montour County is PA's smallest county by land area, but it has real working-farm acreage in the Susquehanna valley around Danville, Washingtonville, and Mausdale. Dairy, beef, corn, soybean, and forage production are all active, and the Geisinger Health System anchors a strong regional professional economy.
Per-acre pricing typically runs $4,500–$8,000 for general farm ground, with quality bottomland along the North Branch Susquehanna higher. Operating dairies and farms with infrastructure often command total-value premiums beyond the per-acre average. Inventory is tight — when a Montour farm comes up, the local buyer pool tends to be ready.
Danville and the Geisinger system support a steady professional-class lifestyle-buyer demand for smaller rural acreages within commute. A 10–25 acre property with a sound house and outbuildings often clears $400,000–$650,000 to that buyer pool, sometimes more.
I sell Montour County properties with honest local valuation and direct outreach to the active regional buyer pool. The small inventory here means that when a quality property comes available, the right marketing strategy can produce competitive bidding rather than a slow MLS sit.
Montour County farmland typically sells in the $4,500–$8,000 per acre range for general crop and pasture. Quality bottomland farms can exceed $9,500 per acre. Operating dairies often sell on total-value basis above the per-acre average.
