Land in Tennesse - 80 acres near McMinnville

The original ad was for 50 acres and the property was described as follows:

50 acres of land with 50% in timber and 45% nursery stock. Two to three acres is cleared with one right of way access to all the property. Timber is permanent hardwoods with some large trees ready to harvest. Land is level to gently rolling with city water acess. Location is northwest Warren County in McMinnvilleTN off the Yager/Short Mountain Road. Will finance @ 6% interest for 5 years with $25000 down.

Negotiated the purchase of 80 acres (sans the house) at $3,000 per acre with slightly under 3% interest, owner financed. Will need to get "Release of Deed of Trust" (i.e. the mortgage) from the owner once it's paid off in slightly less than 18 bi-annual payments (from end of June, 2011, with early 2020 for the final payment). The property is approximately 9 miles northwest of McMinnville. Here's the Google maps link to the property. Some additional notes:

  • The land is slightly rolling. It's primarily silt loam with a lot of depth. It's bordered by farms and nurseries.
  • Utilities: Electricity and telephone services have to be brought in from the next property, about 600 feet away.
  • Need to dig a well for water--nearby properties have wells--or can get city water (would have to pipe in 1200 feet from main road).
