Not Many Truly Lots
In Galt ZIP 95632, there’s a tiny 0.17-acre parcel listed for $120,000. That makes the price very steep once you break it down per acre. So if you’re after “cheap” land, low-cost small lots are rare.
Larger Rural Parcels Cost Less per Acre, but Still Add Up
There’s a 19.33-acre parcel on Alta Mesa Road priced around $485,000. That works out to about $25,000 per acre, which is significantly lower than smaller infill lots — but you need to think about access, utilities, and what zoning allows.
Other Plots Vary, Depending on Use
A 2-acre piece on Pringle Avenue is listed for $340,000. There’s also a 9.47-acre lot selling for $650,000. Prices change a lot depending on what the land is zoned for and whether it’s meant for farming, development, or other use.
Things to Watch Out For
Zoning matters. Some parcels are zoned agricultural, which limits what you can build.
Utilities and road access. Raw land might not have water, power, or a proper road in place.
Development costs. Even if the land price looks good, putting in infrastructure (like water, sewage, or electricity) will cost more.
Market volatility. Galt land prices swing a lot depending on demand and zoning changes.
Bottom Line
There isn’t a huge selection of dirt-cheap land in Galt. If your budget is under $200,000, your choices will be small, or zoned for agriculture rather than residential development. If you want a larger, more affordable parcel, you’ll probably be looking at rural land where costs grow once you factor in development challenges.
