Buying Land in the Upper Cumberland? Know the Price Per Acre Before You Offer
Check the price per acre against real land sales before you offer.
Land is harder to price than a house
Buying land in the Upper Cumberland is exciting. Room to build, farm, hunt, or be near the lake. It's also easy to overpay, because land varies so much. Two 20-acre tracts can be worth very different amounts depending on access, road frontage, and how much of it you can actually use.
How I help land buyers
I've been a licensed Certified Residential Appraiser for 14 years. I check the price per acre against real land sales nearby, and I adjust for what matters: access, frontage, slope, and utilities. You'll know whether the asking price makes sense before you offer.
Questions to ask before you offer
- Is there legal road access, or an easement?
- Is there a recent survey?
- Is power at the road? Water?
- Has a perk test been done, if you plan to build?
- Any restrictions on how it can be used?
I help you get answers to these before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the price per acre is fair?
I compare it to land that actually sold nearby and adjust for access, frontage, and usability. You'll see the numbers.
Can I get a loan for land?
Land loans work differently from home loans. Talk to a lender early so you know your options.
What's a perk test?
A soil test that shows whether the land can support a septic system. If you plan to build and there's no public sewer, it matters a lot.
