Cumberland County, TN — Out-of-State Vacant Lots Under 1 Acre

Description

Cumberland County's resort subdivisions were sold lot by lot to buyers nationwide for decades, leaving one of the deepest out-of-state vacant-lot owner pools in Tennessee — Florida alone accounts for thousands of owner addresses. This list pulls every unimproved sub-acre lot with an out-of-state mailing address from the Tennessee Comptroller's monthly parcel export. Lots are cheap to buy and the owner pool refreshes slowly, so the niche stays workable year after year.

Best use case

Sustained postcard programs into the resort plats where low lot prices keep offers simple.

Included fields

• Owner name
• Mailing address
• City/State/ZIP
• County
• Parcel ID
• Acreage
• Land use code
• Situs address

Exclusions

Every record is unimproved land under the Comptroller's land-use model criteria (no buildings or mobile homes, improvement value under $2,000). Deduplicated to one record per owner name and mailing address — owners holding multiple parcels appear once, so the count reflects mailable owners rather than raw parcels.

Caveats

Resort-plat lots carry POA dues and assessments that can exceed a cheap lot's value, and buildability varies by section — verify association status per lot before resale assumptions.

Due diligence notes

Verify ownership, back taxes, legal and physical access, flood status, POA dues and assessments, and zoning independently before mailing offers or contracting.

Sample outreach angle
