Land prices in Benton County

Tracts here run $50,607 to $58,900, which works out to $9,983 to $10,745 an acre with a median of $10,364.

Comparable 5.30-acre parcels in Benton County list around $11,000 an acre on the open market, so these sit roughly 6% under the going county rate. The trade is that the seller carries the note rather than a bank.

Nothing here sells for under $10,000 outright — the least expensive tract is $50,607. What $999 does is start the purchase: it is the entire down payment on any tract, plus a $249 document fee, with the balance paid monthly directly to the seller. There is no credit check, no bank, and no minimum income to qualify.

Terrain, access and utilities

Benton County sits in rural Tennessee, and the tracts are wooded — the terrain that makes the county worth buying into for homesteading, cabin sites, hunting, and off-grid living.

These are raw tracts. Not one of the 2 available parcels has electricity, water, septic or sewer recorded against it, so price in the cost of putting those in rather than assuming they are there. Saying so plainly is the point: the alternative is a buyer discovering it after closing.

Buying land by owner in Benton County

These tracts are sold direct from the seller. There is no listing agent, no lender, and no third party between you and the person who owns the land, which is what "by owner" means in practice here: you put $999 down, sign, and pay the balance in monthly installments straight to the seller.

Because the seller carries the financing, a bank never runs your credit — the reason the terms are the same whether or not you have a credit history. Payments are simple installments with no prepayment penalty, so the balance can be cleared early without a fee.

What you can build on Benton County land

This is not unrestricted land. Each development in Benton County has a recorded covenants document, and it governs what can be built and how a tract can be used. Ask us for it before you buy — we will send the covenants for a specific tract on request, and any plan that depends on a particular use being allowed should start there rather than with a listing description.

County rules apply on top of the covenants. Septic permitting and structural permits go through Benton County, not through us, so a build plan needs both: the covenants for the tract and the county's requirements for the structure.

Hunting land in Benton County

Whitetail deer and turkey hunting are popular throughout rural Tennessee. Tracts in Benton County run 4.71 to 5.90 acres, the size band that supports a private hunting tract with room for stands and food plots without the cost of a larger recreational parcel.

Owning rather than leasing means the season is yours and the improvements stay yours. A $999 down payment is generally less than a year of lease fees on comparable acreage.

Where these tracts are, relative to town

Listings in Benton County sit near Holladay (8 miles), New Johnsonville (10 miles), Lobelville (14 miles), and Eva (14 miles). Rural acreage is only as usable as its drive to a hardware store, a school and a hospital, so the nearest towns matter more than the county line does.

Each tract page carries its own coordinates and a map, and we will send driving directions to a specific tract on request before you make the trip.
