On the market: Homes sitting on an acre or more of valuable land – OregonLive

When friends and family roll in for the holidays, space inside the house is coveted. But year round, the lot has more value, with the potential to appreciate more than any structure, say real estate experts.

As more people move into an area, the demand for development drives up land's value, according to data analyzed by the financial education source Investopedia. Even land that can't be divided can be prized as a private retreat.

In this week's real estate gallery, we look at homes for sale sitting on an acre or more of earth.
