Who Buys Land in Davidson County
The price a tract brings depends on which buyer it suits best. In Davidson County we see:
- Builders and developers looking for infill lots, tracts that can be divided and neighboring parcels that can be combined.
- Acreage and estate buyers who want land close to Nashville, most often in the outer parts of the county such as Joelton, Bells Bend and the edges of Bellevue.
- Investors holding land near the interstate corridors for future use.
- Neighboring owners including owners assembling several parcels into one site.
What Moves the Price Here
- What Metro will allow. Land use across the county is set by Metro Nashville. We confirm the current rules for your parcel with Metro Planning before the property is priced, because they decide who the buyer is.
- Sewer and water. Metro Water Services reaches most of the county, but parts of the rural fringe still rely on septic. Whether sewer is at the property line changes what a builder can pay.
- Road frontage and shape. For infill and small development sites, frontage and the shape of the lot decide how many homes will fit.
- Floodplain. Land along the Cumberland River and its creeks can carry floodplain limits. Knowing how much of the tract is affected, before a buyer asks, protects the price.

How We Sell Land in Davidson County
We price the tract against closed sales of similar size in the same part of the county, work out which buyer will pay the most for it, and resolve the questions a buyer will raise before the property goes on the market. Then we market it through the multiple listing service, the Sotheby's International Realty network and direct calls to the buyers, builders and neighbors we already know. The full process is in how we sell land in Middle Tennessee.

Common Questions
What is land worth per acre in Davidson County?
Across 318 land sales that closed between November 2023 and August 2026, the median price in Davidson County was about $84,000 per acre, and the middle half of sales fell between about $35,900 and $208,300 per acre. That covers every tract size together. Small lots sell for far more per acre than large farms, so the figure for your land could sit well outside that range. Ask us for a free valuation of your own tract.
Do you sell land in Davidson County off-market?
Yes, when it suits the owner and the property. Some owners want privacy and some tracts have an obvious short list of buyers. We will also tell you plainly when we think open-market exposure would bring more.
What should I do before I list my land?
Find your deed and any survey, check whether the land is enrolled in Greenbelt, and make a note of anyone farming, hunting or renting on it. We handle the rest, including checking what the local rules allow. Our guide to how we sell land in Middle Tennessee walks through each step.
Will I owe tax when I sell?
Possibly federal capital gains tax, and Greenbelt rollback tax if the land is enrolled and the use will change. Tennessee does not tax an individual's capital gains. See taxes when you sell a farm or land in Tennessee, and talk to your accountant before you sign a contract.
