LandWatch Price-per-Acre & Zoning Scraper

Pull raw-land listings from LandWatch (the Land.com network) into a clean dataset — property title, county & state, total acreage, price per acre, zoning / property type, and the listing broker's name, company, and phone.

Built for agricultural investors, solar-farm developers, and land arbitragers hunting mispriced acreage and zoning-conversion opportunities.

Why use this actor

• No account, no login, no API key required.
• Price-per-acre on every listing — pulled straight from the source (and computed from price ÷ acreage as a fallback), so you can rank deals by $/acre instantly.
• Zoning / property type for each parcel — Farms & Ranches (agricultural), Timberland, Commercial, Homesite/Residential, Recreational, Hunting, Waterfront, and more.
• Listing broker contact — name, company, phone, and profile link for direct outreach.
• Filter by state and zoning — e.g. all timberland in Montana, or commercial land in Texas.
• Polite by design — randomized human-paced delays between requests; US-based residential addresses only.
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or a database — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

How it works

1. You pick what to collect — e.g. { "states": ["Texas"], "zoningTypes": ["agricultural"] }. Leave both empty for all US land.
2. The actor reads each search page's structured listing data — title, location, acreage, price-per-acre, zoning, and broker — and walks through the result pages one at a time, pausing politely between requests.
3. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't manage any of the fetching, paging, retrying, or pacing — just set your search and press Run.

Use cases

• Price-per-acre arbitrage — pull a state's full inventory, sort by pricePerAcre within a zoning type, and surface parcels priced well below the county median.
• Solar / wind site sourcing — filter large agricultural or undeveloped parcels by acreage and location, then hand brokers a ready call list (broker.phone).
• Timberland & ag fund screening — collect timberland or farms-ranches listings across multiple states and feed acres + pricePerAcre + location into your valuation model.
• Zoning-conversion plays — compare commercial vs residential vs agricultural price-per-acre in the same county to spot rezoning upside.
• Broker / market intelligence — aggregate by broker.company and county to map who controls inventory and how pricing trends over time.
• Lead lists for outreach — every record carries direct broker contact, so the dataset doubles as a prospecting list for buyers' agents and acquisition teams.
