Virginia Rural Land & Agricultural Property Appraisal Services

A vast agricultural field with rows of green crops extending into the distance under a clear sky.

Pinnacle Valuation Group specializes in the valuation of rural land, agricultural property, timber tracts, and poultry facilities across Virginia. Our work goes beyond simply determining a number — we help clients understand the underlying drivers of value so they can make informed, strategic decisions about their land and agricultural assets. Whether you are financing a purchase, settling an estate, evaluating a farm operation, or planning a long‑term land strategy, we provide clear, defensible analysis grounded in real market behavior.

Rural and agricultural properties are complex. Soil capability, access, utilities, timber composition, zoning, and development potential all influence value in ways that differ from residential or commercial real estate. We combine GIS tools, soil surveys, comparable sales, and on‑the‑ground knowledge to evaluate each property’s highest‑and‑best‑use and its position within the broader land market. Our experience spans large‑tract acreage, mixed agricultural holdings, timberland, and transitional land near growth corridors.

Pinnacle is also one of the few appraisal practices in Virginia with specialized experience in poultry facility valuation. Breeder, broiler, pullet, and layer operations require an understanding of integrator contracts, equipment packages, income structures, and the unique economics of poultry production. These properties cannot be valued using standard residential or commercial approaches — they require agricultural and operational insight. Our background in agricultural analysis allows us to deliver accurate, lender‑ready valuations for these complex assets.

We also provide appraisal services for estate planning, gifting, IRS reporting, conservation easements, and legal matters. Our reports are written to withstand scrutiny from attorneys, CPAs, lenders, and regulatory bodies.

Based in Central Virginia, Pinnacle Valuation Group serves clients across Central Virginia, Southside Virginia, the Piedmont, and the Shenandoah Valley. Our mission is to provide reliable, transparent, and defensible valuations that support better decisions for landowners, agricultural operators, and professionals who rely on accurate rural property analysis.
