Tennessee farm real estate averaged $6,150 an acre in 2025 (USDA NASS), and the state carries an effective property tax rate of about 0.67 percent (Tax Foundation).

Tennessee stretches from the Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau in the east, across the rolling hills and farmland of the middle, to the flat Delta farmland of the west near the Mississippi. The land changes completely along the way.
We buy the plateau and mountain tracts, the Middle Tennessee farmland, and the Delta ground, including the affordable recreational acreage on the plateau that owners often hold for years and never use.
Three grand divisions, three kinds of land. We buy across all of them.
Cocke, Sevier, Monroe and the Cumberland Plateau counties of Cumberland, Fentress, Morgan and Bledsoe, mountains and affordable recreational tracts.
Hickman, Lewis, Wayne and Lawrence, rolling Highland Rim hills, farmland and rural acreage.
Hardeman, Haywood and Lauderdale, flat Delta farmland near the Mississippi.
Tennessee has its own tax picture worth knowing when you sell rural land.
Tennessee has no state income tax, so the tax on a sale is usually federal only. Your accountant can confirm your position.
Land in the greenbelt program carries a lower tax, and taking it out can trigger rollback taxes. We factor your status in.
Recreational tracts on the Cumberland Plateau often sit unused for years. A cash sale turns one into money now.
Whatever the land owes is settled through the closing, not out of your pocket.

Tennessee farm real estate averaged about $6,150 an acre in 2025, according to USDA NASS. Raw and recreational parcels usually trade below that average and cropland above it, so your acreage and land type set your real number.
