Carroll County, Tennessee
From Huntingdon, the county seat, out to McKenzie, Bruceton, Trezevant, Atwood, and McLemoresville, Carroll County is West Tennessee row-crop and cattle country sitting roughly halfway between Nashville and Memphis, with a share of the Natchez Trace State Forest along its southern edge.

Farmland and pasture near Huntingdon in Carroll County, Tennessee, roughly halfway between Nashville and Memphis.
Talk to a real person about your Carroll County acreage — no pressure, no obligation.
Carroll County spans nearly 598 square miles of West Tennessee, roughly halfway between Nashville and Memphis, and shares a portion of the almost-48,000-acre Natchez Trace State Park and State Forest complex with neighboring Henderson and Benton counties. The county's economy shifted over the 20th century from row crops — corn, cotton, wheat — toward a mix of agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare, but working farmland and pasture remain the backbone of the land market outside the towns.
Demand comes from cattle and row-crop operators, timber and hunting-lease buyers drawn to the Natchez Trace corridor, and families handling inherited land. Carroll's location on the Nashville-Memphis corridor and its lower price point relative to Middle Tennessee keep it attractive to buyers priced out of faster-growing counties.
Priced against real Carroll County comps — row-crop ground around Trezevant and Atwood, pasture, and timber tracts — not a lowball guess.

According to USDA NASS's July 31, 2026 Land Values Summary, Tennessee's statewide average cropland value reached $6,400 per acre in 2026, a 5.8% increase — the largest percentage gain of any state in the report. That follows a 2025 in which statewide farm real estate values rose 7.7% to $6,150 per acre. Tennessee land has been one of the strongest performers in the country two years running.
Those are state-level figures, not a county appraisal. Actual Carroll County per-acre values vary by tract quality, road frontage, timber stocking, and current use. Land classified under Tennessee's Greenbelt program as agricultural or forest land also carries a 3-year rollback lookback if it's converted to a non-qualifying use — a bill that can land on the seller at closing.
If your parcel is enrolled in Greenbelt, read PlaceAcre's guide to ag-exemption rollback taxes before you list — knowing the number in advance keeps it from surfacing late.

Tennessee uses a statutory warranty deed — the deed must use the word "convey" and includes language defending title against "all persons whomsoever."
Tennessee does not require an attorney at closing; title companies and escrow services handle most closings, though an attorney is advisable for title complications or boundary disputes.
Financed closings typically run 30-45 days. PlaceAcre's cash-offer process can close in as little as 7-14 days.
Funds are disbursed through the title company at recording. Tennessee's state transfer tax is $0.37 per $100 of property value, customarily paid by the seller (negotiable in the contract).

"I was winding down the cattle operation and didn't want a sign at the road for a year. They walked the place, sent a number in writing, and we closed on my date."
— Wayne C., Carroll County cattle farmer

Carroll County was created November 7, 1821 — the same day as neighboring Henderson County — and named for Tennessee Governor William Carroll.
The county seat was originally called Huntsville; the name changed to Huntingdon in December 1823, honoring Memucan Hunt, the original owner of the town site. The first courthouse was a log cabin built in 1822.
The small town of McLemoresville briefly served as Carroll County's original seat, and is the birthplace and final resting place of actress Dixie Carter (Designing Women) and her husband, actor Hal Holbrook.
Bruceton was historically a textile manufacturing hub, home to the Henry I. Siegel Company (maker of H.I.S. brand jeans), once one of the county's largest employers. Carroll also shares a portion of the nearly 48,000-acre Natchez Trace State Park and State Forest complex with neighboring Henderson and Benton counties.
