Mayland Farm - 221.29 Acres | Development-Ready Opportunity in Unincorporated Cumberland County, TN221.29 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.No Zoning - No Rezoning Required
Unincorporated Cumberland County has no county-wide zoning. 'Agricultural' is a property/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 (preliminary/final plats, road standards, septic approval, and floodplain requirements). Tracts of 5 acres or larger that do not create new public roads or utility extensions often fall outside Planning Commission jurisdiction, offering additional flexibility for larger-lot or estate-style projects.Site Advantages for Developers
80 acres of cleared, hay-ready land with gentle topography suitable for golf fairways, luxury home sites, or mini-farm estates
8-acre spring-fed stocked lake with dock and a $50,000+ professionally engineered spillway (fed by Funnel Creek) -- ready amenity for a golf course, residential community, or private estate
Three additional ponds (two stocked with bass and bluegill; one spring-fed that holds water year-round)
Paved and cut internal roads providing access across the full property
Three separate gated entrances, including full utility stubs at the Funnel Branch entrance plus existing utilities serving the existing cabin
Two natural gas wells on site (capped; mineral rights transfer with the sale)
Existing 1,116 sq ft sportsman's cabin (2 bed / 2 bath, updated 2009-2022) with detached garage -- usable as temporary housing, sales office, or staff quarters during development
No hunting has been allowed by prior or current owners; no timber harvest since 2009, preserving mature woodland and wildlife habitat
Location & Access
County-maintained road frontage on Mayland Road. Immediate access to I-40, Crossville (16 miles / 17 minutes), Crossville Memorial Airport (11.6 miles), and Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport (~87 miles). The combination of privacy, infrastructure, and Nashville-area drive time makes this tract attractive for both second-home and primary residential development.Highest and Best Use
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/wellness retreat. 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. Serious developers and builders are invited to request the full survey, topography, utility locations, and the UCDD land-use correspondence.
