As mentioned, in Stardew Valley you don't buy the farm house - you inherit it.

So, in order to calculate the value of The Farm itself, we had to manually measure the size of The Farm and the land surrounding it.

To do this, we had to first establish a real-world measurement to work from. We chose the doorway of The Farmhouse. The average width of a doorway is 30". Using this metric, we measured the size of the farmhouse to be 300" x 180", or 7.5m x 4.5m.

Having established this metric, we were able to calculate that the area of The Farm in real-world terms was 103.5m x 72m. This equates to 7555.5 square metres, which converts to 1.87 acres of real-life land.

Now that we had established the size of The Farm, we needed to establish a value. We looked at the average value of farmland per acre (£9,000 at the end of 2017), however this did not take into account the inclusion of a farmhouse on the land. So, we set out to find an equivalent property from which we could generate a ballpark value.

The closest we could find was a three acre bungalow for sale in Northumberland, UK . The property comes with 3 acres of land and a farmhouse of similar scale to the one included when you first get The Farm. In May 2018, this property was on the market for £395,000.

If we subtract the value of 1.13 acres (£10,170) to reduce the size of The Farm to 1.87, we arrive at a basic figure of £384,830.
