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

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)
