View Davidson County GuideDavidson County land prices in 2026 sit at a 3-year median of $462,586 per acre across 926 closed land sales — but that headline number hides one of the widest urban-to-rural spreads in the state. Land per acre in Davidson County ranges from roughly $52,000/acre on 16+ acre tracts in the Whites Creek school zone to over $1.3 million/acre on sub-1-acre infill lots in Hillsboro Comp. The Metro Nashville land market is, in effect, two markets stacked on top of each other: a high-density urban land market that prices like residential real estate, and a rural-edge tract market that prices like the rest of Middle Tennessee.
This report breaks Davidson County land for sale down by high school zone, acreage band, property type, and quarter — using only verified closed Realtracs MLS data. 379 active land listings, 69 parcels under contract, and 4 coming soon round out a current picture of supply. Whether you're buying acreage in the Cane Ridge or Antioch corridors, an infill lot for a custom build inside the urban core, or a commercial development tract along one of Nashville's growth axes, the per-zone data below tells you what the comparable closings look like.

Detailed metrics and a brief market read for each Metro Nashville high school zone with statistically reliable closed-sale volume.
Whites Creek covers the rural northwest crescent of Davidson County — the only part of Metro Nashville where 10+ acre tracts are routinely available. Median land prices here run well below the county average on a per-acre basis because parcels are larger, but absolute deal sizes are the largest in the county. This is the zone where Davidson buyers go when they want acreage without leaving the urban services boundary.
The 3-year median land price per acre in the Whites Creek High School zone is the lowest in Davidson County, reflecting larger-acreage rural tracts in northwest Metro Nashville.
Hillsboro is the urban-luxury core: Green Hills, parts of Belle Meade, and the Hillsboro Pike corridor. Land here is sub-1-acre infill almost exclusively, and trades like residential teardown ground — frequently above $1M per acre. There is essentially no agricultural or wooded land in this zone; every closed comp is a redevelopment parcel.
The Hillsboro Comp High School zone (Green Hills / Belle Meade area) has the highest median land price per acre in Davidson County, with most closings above $1 million per acre on sub-1-acre infill lots.
James Lawson covers Bellevue and the Pasquo / Highway 100 corridor — Davidson's western suburban edge before you cross into Williamson County. Land here is a mix of remaining wooded acreage (5–20 acre tracts) and lot-split infill in older Bellevue subdivisions. $/acre sits in the mid range; buyers are typically families building custom on partial-acre lots or investors assembling for development.
Yes — median land prices in the James Lawson High School zone (Bellevue / Pasquo) are typically lower than comparable Williamson County tracts just across the Harpeth River, while still inside Metro Nashville.
Pearl Cohn zone covers a dense pocket of urban North Nashville — Buena Vista, Bordeaux, and the northern edge of Germantown / North Capitol. Land here is almost entirely small infill lots, often single-family teardowns being assembled for multi-unit or townhome development. The zone has been one of the fastest-appreciating in Davidson County over the past 5 years.
The Pearl Cohn zone covers urban North Nashville neighborhoods (Buena Vista, Bordeaux, Germantown edge) where small infill lots are being assembled for townhome and multi-unit development, driving high per-acre pricing.
Hunters Lane covers Madison, the Joelton area, and the corridor along Whites Creek Pike north of Briley Parkway. This is one of Davidson County's most balanced zones — a mix of 1–5 acre residential tracts and 10+ acre rural pockets. Median $/acre falls below the county average; the zone is increasingly popular with buyers priced out of urban Nashville who still want Metro services.
The Hunters Lane Comp High School zone (Madison / Joelton) and the Whites Creek High School zone offer Davidson County's lowest median land prices per acre, with rural tracts still available inside Metro Nashville.
McGavock spans Hermitage, Donelson, and the Old Hickory Boulevard corridor on Davidson's east side. The zone has more remaining acreage than most of urban Davidson — a function of Percy Priest Lake's footprint and the slower commercial buildout east of I-40. Land sales here cover a wide range, from waterfront-adjacent residential to commercial tracts along Lebanon Pike.
The McGavock zone includes neighborhoods adjacent to Percy Priest Lake and the Cumberland River near Old Hickory, where waterfront-adjacent (though rarely true waterfront) land tracts do come available.
Stratford zone covers the East Nashville core — Inglewood, Maxwell Heights, Rosebank — east of the Cumberland and north of I-40. Almost every land transaction here is sub-1-acre infill being purchased for single-family teardown or small-multi development. $/acre trades near the top of the county after Hillsboro, reflecting East Nashville's sustained gentrification.
Yes — the Stratford STEM Magnet zone, which covers Inglewood and Maxwell Heights, has shown sustained per-acre appreciation driven by ongoing infill development demand.
Maplewood zone covers the northeast quadrant of Davidson — north Inglewood, Cleveland Park, Trinity Hills, and the Dickerson Pike corridor. The zone is in active transition from older single-family stock to townhome / infill development. Median $/acre sits in the upper-middle of the county; sales velocity is strong with median DOM under 30 days.
The Maplewood Comp High School zone — covering north Inglewood, Cleveland Park, and the Dickerson Pike corridor — is one of Davidson County's most active transition zones with strong sales velocity.
Glencliff covers a south-central Davidson belt: Woodbine, the Nolensville Pike corridor, and parts of the Berry Hill edge. The zone is one of Nashville's most diverse and has been a focal point for commercial-to-residential conversion and mixed-use redevelopment. Land trades cover both small infill lots and larger commercially-zoned parcels.
The Glencliff High School zone covers Woodbine and the Nolensville Pike corridor in south Davidson County, where land trades range from small residential infill to larger commercially-zoned mixed-use redevelopment parcels.
Antioch zone covers Davidson's southeast quadrant — the Antioch / Cane Ridge edge and Murfreesboro Pike corridor toward the Rutherford County line. The zone has the highest active inventory in Davidson County, much of it tied to ongoing planned development. Land buyers here are typically commercial / industrial developers and large-tract residential builders rather than custom-home buyers.
Yes — the Antioch High School zone, covering southeast Davidson County along Murfreesboro Pike, typically has the highest active land inventory in Davidson County, driven by commercial and large-tract residential development.
Cane Ridge covers the southernmost slice of Davidson County, where the Antioch corridor meets the Nolensville and Williamson County lines. This is one of the highest-growth zones in the entire Middle Tennessee region — large planned residential developments, commercial tracts along I-24, and the last meaningful acreage availability inside Davidson. Median $/acre is below the county average because tracts run larger.
The Cane Ridge High School zone, covering the southernmost slice of Davidson County along the Williamson County line, is where the most meaningful acreage availability remains, with larger tracts tied to ongoing master-planned development.
The 3-year median sale price per acre in Davidson County is $462,586 based on 926 closed land sales since 2023. But Davidson is a county of contrasts — Whites Creek tracts run 16+ acres at roughly $52,000/acre, while Hillsboro infill lots are sub-1-acre at over $1.3M/acre. The right number depends entirely on tract size, school zone, and zoning.
Hillsboro Comp, Pearl Cohn Magnet, Stratford STEM, and Maplewood lead Davidson County in $/acre, all driven by small infill lots in Nashville's most established and most rapidly redeveloping neighborhoods. Glencliff and McGavock fill the next tier, while Whites Creek and Cane Ridge offer the largest tracts at the lowest $/acre.
Davidson County's median $/acre moved down 35.3% from 2024 to 2025, but that single number hides the real story — small infill lots inside Nashville's core continue to set price records, while larger rural tracts on the county's outer edges are seeing softer absorption. Days on market currently sit around 26 days at the median, with 379 active listings and 69 parcels under contract as of May 2026.
There are 379 active land listings in Davidson County as of May 2026, with a median asking price of $477K and a median list price of $665K/acre. An additional 69 parcels are under contract and 4 are coming soon.
Davidson County is the urban-and-suburban Nashville market — smaller lots, higher $/acre on infill, and faster turnover. Williamson County (next door) is the high-end, larger-acreage market with strong school-zone premiums and lower $/acre on equivalent-sized tracts. If you want acreage at scale, Williamson and adjacent counties typically deliver more land per dollar; if you want infill, redevelopment, or Nashville-core access, Davidson is where the action is.
