Land with High Usable Percentage in Coastal Virginia

In Tidewater Virginia, the number on the deed and the usable acreage can be very different things. A 20-acre parcel might have 8 acres of tidal marsh, 3 acres of floodplain, and only 9 acres of truly buildable, farmable ground. LandMatch calculates usable percentage on every parcel — total acres minus wetland and floodplain impact — so you can compare properties on the acreage that actually matters. This is the metric that separates informed Tidewater land buyers from those who get surprised at the soil test.
