The acre is a unit of area in a number of different systems, including the imperial and U.S. customary systems. The most commonly used acres today are the international acre and, in the United States, the survey acre.

One international acre is equal to 4,046.856 422 4 m exactly. One U.S. survey acre is equal to ⁄15,499,969 m = 4,046.872 609 874 252 m approximately.

The area of one acre (red) overlaid on an American football field (green) and Association football field (blue).

One acre comprises 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet (which can be easily remembered as 44,000 square feet, less 1%; or as the product of 66 x 660). Because of alternative definitions of a yard or a foot, the exact size of an acre also varies slightly. Originally, an acre was understood as a selion of land sized at one furlong (660 ft) long and one chain (66 ft) wide; this may have also been understood as an approximation of the amount of land an ox could plough in one day. A square enclosing one acre is approximately 208 feet and 9 inches (63.6 meters) on a side. But as a unit of measure an acre has no prescribed configuration; any perimeter enclosing 43,560 square feet is an acre in size.

The acre is often used to express areas of land. In the metric system, the hectare is commonly used for the same purpose. An acre is approximately 40% of a hectare.

One acre is 90.75 percent of a 53.33-yard-wide American football field. The full field, including the end zones, covers approximately 1.32 acres (0.53 ha).

How much will it cost to develop an acre in order to put a mobile home on it?
Q. We own the acre already, but it needs water, electricity, clearing and land moving, and a septic tank before we can place the home on it. Also there are the hidden costs of any permits we must buy. Has anyone done anything like this before?? I would really appreciate any advice!

A. If your going to put a mobile home on it instead of building a modular (my preference) you will need to find out what size is allowed. Your local city planning department will have the answers. They'll tell you where you can place your home in relation to the road, called the "set back" and stuff like that. For the Electricity and gas/water - you must go to the nearest provider of those services w/a plat map you got from county assessors office - showing the details of your property. Expect to spend 2 weeks in search of answers. Also a shortcut to process would be to contact Local contractors for septic tank installation and other local contractors for driveway from road. Total expense probably in the 20,000 range, depending on how… [cont.]

What can I do with 1 acre of land for maximum profit?
Q. I live in rural central Alabama, we just bought a house on 3 acres, it came with an additional acre connected to the property. It's mostly cleared off, partially fenced. I don't want to sell it. I would like to do something with it and profit. I've thought of breeding dogs, but don't like the idea. Does anyone have any ideas about an animal I could raise, or plant I could grow and make money off of? I would like to do something that not alot of other people are doing. Thanks

A. Rent the land out. That way you don't have to anything to it. My dad rents 1 acre to someone that put a double wide home on it. They take care of keeping it clean and he sits back and collects the rent. Blue berries and blackberries are real popular here in S.C. and it's a good money maker. You pick or they pick at a discount. Easy to grow. I hope you the best.
