Cheap Land in Tennessee near Fayetteville
Just 11 minutes north of Fayetteville, one of Tennessee’s most charming small towns and site of two Hallmark movies, lies this partially cleared 65-acre tract with power on-site, small pond, and legally accessible via driveway off Fishing Ford Road. Buy it to stay, play, or both!
- No Restrictions
- Small Pond
- Legal Access via Driveway to Paved Road
- Priced about 27% Below Market
- Very Buildable: Mostly Flat, No Floodplain, No Zoning
- Power Pole On-Site
- Only 11 mins to Fayetteville (with Walmart)
- Greenbelt-Certified (for reduced property taxes)
- Abundant Deer & Wildlife
PROPERTY: This 65 acre lot is a mostly wooded tract with some cleared space towards the SE corner, where a driveway has been cut and branches off another deeded-access driveway that runs about 1200 feet to South Fishing Ford Road, a paved public road. Your future development here has been primed with a power pole and shed on site, and the lot is generally flat with no floodplain, so the whole package is very buildable. It’s ready for anything, in fact, because there are no restrictions here! Just beyond the clearing near the front of the lot lies a small pond, a natural attraction for deer and other wildlife in the area, and it’s shared between this lot and the neighbor’s. Turn north from the pond and wander down a trail that bisects the more forested, north part of the property. The overall neighborhood is sparsely populated and very peaceful. The charming small town of Fayetteville is only an 11 minute drive south and offers a harmonious mix of local shops and boutiques, with major retailers like Walmart. Kayakers, floaters, and fishermen can easily access the Elk River there, or take in a movie at the historic Lincoln Theatre. Head 20 minutes east of Fayetteville to get to Lynchburg, famous as the home to the Jack Daniels distillery and, of course, a critical stop on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail that runs through these parts. Lynchburg also serves as the gateway city to Tims Ford Lake and State Park, the recreational epicenter for this entire region.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.
Rural 1st is America’s leading land lender for rural properties and they require as little as 15% down on a 10 or 15-year fixed land loan, with no PMI, and they prefer a credit score of 720 or better. Please contact Michael Wirth by phone or email at (502) 553-8152 or michael.wirth@rural1st.com. They do cover Tennessee.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
