Tennessee farm real estate averages $6,150 an acre (USDA, 2025), which ranks 18 of 48 states, above the national average. Raw and rural parcels usually trade below that.
According to the USDA's 2025 land value survey, the average value of farm real estate in Tennessee is $6,150 per acre. That is the all in average across land and buildings, so vacant, wooded or recreational ground typically sells for less per acre, while small buildable lots near a town can sell for more. It runs higher than neighboring Kentucky at $5,480 an acre. Tennessee is in the South. Timber, pasture and recreational tracts are common, and road access plus buildability move price as much as soil does.
Smaller parcels carry a higher price per acre than large blocks, the same land just costs more by the piece. Rough ranges for raw or rural Tennessee land:
