I reckoned early on it was probably a wind up but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, as long as I'm not spending ages on a post. The silence is deafening
If it is a wind up, it's really not funny. Many people have spent a lot of time giving excellent, in depth information, so an apology would be nice if this isn't genuine.
And of course the funny thing is, we haven't really got wound up have we .... we're such nice folk on here

My garden is 7.6 acres. About 3 or 4 is woodland, so doesn't need much input, and a lake of 0.8 acre, no input there. so barely 3 acres for me to deal with, and it takes me pretty much all my time . IMHO nobody can maintain 10 acres of cultivated land alone.
Sounds like my dream place @Hostafan1. Lots of gardening and a lake for evening fishing. Perfect!

the local otters have had the fish
To be fair, I'm a terrible fisherman anyway so it really wouldn't make a great deal of difference to my catches
@strelitzia32, round here an acre of land would cost around £10,000. That said, an 8 acre plot immediately next to the houses in a neighbouring village is on the market at £200,000 inclusive of a barn.
I believe that Rightmove allows you to search for land rather than houses.
@Dovefromabove I'm trying to avoid contacting a valuer and the fees that would incur! It's a bit of a specific situation but the land in question isn't actually up for sale, it's adjacent to mine and I'm hoping that a careful bit of discussion might prove fruitful. But at this point I don't want to pay for a valuer just on the hope that something will materialize, I'd just like a ballpark estimate so I know if the amount I have in mind is realistic before I start a conversation.
@BenCotto yes that's the problem, most of the agricultural land for sale on web sites is in massive lots of hectares, is ridiculously priced, or has (the hope of) planning permission.
I hoped there was a zoopla for agricultural land, but it seems not. I did just check rightmove, thank you for the suggestion, but same issue there.
I'm only interested in value of pure agricultural land that cannot be built on, so the price uplift for planning permission (or even the opportunity to get it) isn't relevant to me...
If your wanting to buy that bit think about what it's going to do to the house tax as well. since the land would probably lose it's agricultural status.
And whether it is or isn't a wind up the info might be interesting to someone. btw.. you'ld need around 25L of standard agri roundup concentrate (30%) for 10 acres of nettles/thistles. Going to take a bit more than a trip to a pound shop.
@Hostafan1 is right ... you need Planning permission to change the use of arable land to ‘private garden or pleasure ground’ if that’s what you’re thinking of ... and that would involve a surveyor drawing plans etc.
Do you have a local solicitor ... the sort that do cradle to grave stuff for local farming families. They may well know the sort of price such a piece of land would go for.
Bear in mind that no piece of land exists on its own ... its value depends on many things ... access is one ... the amount by which it will improve the value of your property should you buy it, is another.

@Hostafan1@Dovefromabove yes I'm fully aware of planning law, thanks for checking but it won't be part of a garden or have its use changed. It will stay as farmland. Sorry if I didn't explain myself properly, I'm not trying to extend a garden!
There is limited access to the land, especially if you don't have access to land I already own. So it's a bit of a special situation, and nothing to do with property prices
I do have a solicitor but suggested a valuation agent too. I was hoping the collective wisdom of this forum would magically pull the exact value from thin air, or have a way to get it
