How to determine the size of your parcel

Whenever we sell a parcel of land, we will always tell you how many acres you're buying. But sometimes our buyers want to figure it out on their own. Here's how you can do it. Let's say you're buying a rectangular property that is 330' on two sides and 660' on the two long sides. You would multiply the lengh times the width, and then divide that number by 43,560 (the number of square feet in an acre). Let's try it...

330 feet x 660 feet = 217,800 square feet
217,800 square feet divided by 43,560 = 5
So, your 330'x 660' property is 5 acres.
