About this home

221.29 acres of contiguous, lightly improved land with exceptional infrastructure already in place and a clear, low-barrier path to development. Located just 2.4 miles (4 minutes) from I-40 and roughly 1 hour 30 minutes from Nashville, Mayland Farm is positioned for land developers, golf course developers, luxury home builders, and commercial buyers seeking scale in a market with minimal regulatory friction. Unincorporated Cumberland County has no county-wide zoning; 'Agricultural' is a property and tax classification only. Per written clarification from the Upper Cumberland Development District (October 2026), residential subdivisions, golf courses, and resorts can be pursued under current rules without rezoning. Development is governed solely by the Cumberland County Subdivision Regulations. Written guidance from the Upper Cumberland Development District (November 2026) outlines steps for dividing Mayland Farm: begin with an early informal consultation with Cumberland County Planning Commission staff to review a rough layout before formal surveys. The process typically includes informal consultation, preliminary plat, any required improvements, and final plat approval. Divisions of 5+ acres without new streets or utilities fall outside Planning Commission jurisdiction and can be confirmed with a preliminary sketch, offering additional flexibility for larger-lot or estate-style projects.The property offers strong site advantages for developers, including 80 acres of cleared, hay-ready land with gentle topography suitable for golf fairways, luxury home sites, or mini-farm estates. An 8-acre spring-fed stocked lake with dock and a $50,000+ professionally engineered spillway (fed by Funnel Creek) provides a ready amenity for a golf course, residential community, or private estate. Three additional ponds exist on site (two stocked with bass and bluegill; one spring-fed that holds water year-round). Paved and cut internal roads provide access across the full property, supported by three separate gated entrances, including full utility stubs at the Funnel Branch entrance plus existing utilities serving the cabin. Two natural gas wells are on site (capped; mineral rights transfer with the sale). An existing 1,116 sq ft sportsman's cabin (2 bed / 2 bath, updated 2009-2022) with detached garage is usable as temporary housing, a sales office, or staff quarters during development. No hunting has been allowed by prior or current owners, and no timber harvest has occurred since 2009, preserving mature woodland and wildlife habitat.County-maintained road frontage on Mayland Road provides immediate access to I-40, Crossville (16 miles / 17 minutes), Crossville Memorial Airport (11.6 miles), and Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (approximately 87 miles). The combination of privacy, infrastructure, and Nashville-area drive time makes this tract attractive for both second-home and primary residential development.The scale, water features, cleared acreage, existing access, and absence of zoning create a rare canvas for a championship or resort-style golf course with luxury homesites, a master-planned residential community, large-lot mini-farm estates, or a private equestrian or wellness retreat. The seller will cooperate with due diligence and is selling the three parcels as a whole. This is one of the larger, better-improved tracts currently available in the Upper Cumberland with documented confirmation that major development uses do not require rezoning. Full survey, topography, utility locations, the UCDD land-use correspondence, Subdivision Regulations, and additional details are available upon request.
