251.5 Acres on Blaylock Road in Bledsoe County, on the Cumberland Plateau

Jun 7

Blaylock Road runs across the top of the Cumberland Plateau, where Bledsoe County and Cumberland County meet. The land carries a Crossville mailing address. The county line puts it in Bledsoe.

This was 251.5 acres. That is a big piece of ground by any measure in Tennessee, and big tracts on the Plateau do not come up every week.

We listed it on August 27, 2023, at $806,784. It stayed on the market 227 days. It closed on June 7, 2024, at $657,500. That works out to roughly $2,600 an acre.

I represented both the buyer and the seller.

Large acreage takes time. The pool of buyers who can write a check for 250 acres is small, and the ones who can usually want to walk a good part of it first. Surveys, access, timber, and what the county will allow all take time to sort out. A listing that sits through fall and winter and closes in early summer is about what I would expect for a tract this size.

The Plateau is a different country from the Highland Rim where I grew up in Robertson County. Higher, cooler, and a lot more woods. But land is land, and the work of matching a big tract with the right buyer is the same anywhere in Tennessee.
