Property Information
This 16-acre property for sale in Dickson County, Tennessee, offers something increasingly hard to find in the current rural land market: agricultural-zoned acreage with utility access close enough to the road to actually use. Located just three minutes from Charlotte, TN and about an hour from downtown Nashville, this parcel combines the openness of rural land with the practical infrastructure that most acreage this size simply doesn’t have. Zoned A-1 Agricultural, the land supports a wide range of uses — from single-family and mobile/manufactured homes to farming, camping, hunting, and livestock.
Location
The property is located in Dickson County, Tennessee, just northwest of Charlotte — Dickson County’s historic seat, home to Tennessee’s oldest working courthouse (built in 1835). This small-town setting gives the surrounding area a quiet, low-density rural character, while the Nashville metro remains accessible in about an hour, making this property a realistic option for buyers who want space without giving up a connection to a major city.
Nearest Cities & Distances
- Charlotte, TN — approximately 3 minutes away, population 1,656
- Nashville, TN — approximately 1 hour away, population 721,000
Having a small town minutes away and a major metro within commuting distance gives this property flexibility that’s uncommon for land in this price range — buyers get quiet acreage without being cut off from town errands, medical care, or city amenities.
Nearby Amenities
Charlotte offers convenient access to local shops, schools, and county services, while Nashville — just an hour out — opens up everything from major retail and healthcare systems to entertainment, employment centers, and airport access. For buyers seeking a rural homestead within reach of city convenience, this is a genuinely practical location.
Why Buy This Property
What sets this 16-acre Dickson County property apart is its combination of agricultural zoning and near-town utility access — a pairing that’s increasingly rare.
- Utility-ready location — Electricity is available at the road, and both well water and septic are viable on-site, so buyers aren’t left guessing about basic utility feasibility before building.
- Workable terrain — Giving flexible options for home placement, gardens, pasture, or recreational clearing.
- Easy access — Highway frontage with paved road access means no rough, unmaintained dirt roads to navigate, a detail that matters both for daily living and for resale down the line.
- Minimal red tape — No HOA, no subdivision restrictions, and no perk test or survey required, which can meaningfully simplify and speed up the buying and building process.
- Flexible zoning — Allows both single-family homes and mobile/manufactured homes, broadening the pool of buyers who can put this land to use, from someone wanting to place a manufactured home to a buyer planning a traditional build.
- Straightforward building restriction — The only real setback requirement is 50 feet from an existing public road per the County Thoroughfare Plan (or 75 feet from the centerline of an access easement) — standard and workable, not limiting.
- Multi-use appeal — Approved for farming, camping, hunting, and livestock, beyond just a homesite.
- Low holding costs — Annual property taxes are just $58, keeping costs minimal whether a buyer plans to build immediately or hold the land for future use.
Investment Potential
Agricultural-zoned land within roughly an hour of a fast-growing metro like Nashville tends to hold long-term appeal as suburban and exurban growth continues to push outward. A property that already has utility access nearby removes one of the biggest cost and time barriers land buyers typically face, which can make this parcel attractive both to end-users looking to build and to buyers considering future resale or development. The flexibility to use the land for a home, farming, or recreation gives it a wider buyer pool than single-use agricultural tracts.
This 16-acre Dickson County, TN property won’t stay available long, especially given its rare combination of agricultural zoning and roadside utility access. Contact us today to schedule a visit or request additional details.
