here is what i got...
-subject has 0.86 acre lot, land value 225K (very desirable location, river view etc)
-comp 1 has 1.12 acres lot, land value 150K (further away from the river) - adj +75K
-comp 2 has 3.82 acre lot, land value 150K - adj +75K
-comp 3 has 5.45 acre lot, land value 100K (middle of nowhere, no views of
anything) - adj +125K
-comp 4 has 8.81 acres lot, land value 600K (same view as the subject) - adj -375K
I think use of this system, even though resulting in quite large adjustments, will work much better than trying to justify different value adjustments on a per acre basis. If you can explain how you determined land value for your subject and each of your sales, this method is clean and should be the easiest to understand.
Good luck.
