Improved Land for Sale in Burns, Tennessee
1278 Spencer Mill Rd, Burns, TN 37029
Rare opportunity to own a unique 6-acre property in the highly desirable Burns area, featuring an updated home and a commercially zoned parcel with income-producing and development potential (Parcel 3.09 & 3.10). Conveniently located just 5 miles from I-40, 15 minutes from downtown Dickson, and approximately 35–40 minutes from Nashville, this versatile property offers an ideal setup for a homestead, hobby farm, small business, event venue, creative retreat, or long-term investment. The renovated 4BR/3BA home features an open-concept layout with modern updates throughout, including a new HVAC system, a new mini-split, a Redwood Outdoors barrel sauna, and a recently completed patio paver entertaining area, creating a comfortable space for everyday living, hosting guests, or a private retreat. Have you ever dreamed of living where you can operate a business or generate rental income next door? The historic former Meeks Meat Market brick storefront brings that vision to life, offering a rare commercially zoned building with flexible use potential. The commercial parcel currently produces RV storage income, includes an approved transferable septic permit, and architectural plans for a retail storefront conversion, giving buyers a clear path for redevelopment. The building may also be renovated and leased to a tenant, creating additional passive income alongside future business use. The remainder of the property is equally functional, featuring two barns, a workshop, detached garage, chicken coop, greenhouse, fenced pasture, and a private walking trail leading to a wooded meadow. The land consists of two parcels totaling 6 acres, and a survey was completed in June 2025.
Ideal for entrepreneurs, investors, agritourism, farm-to-table, STR, or an event venue—opportunities like this don’t come around often! Buyer and/or buyers’ agent to verify all info–info not verified by listing agent. Limited-service listing, contact seller directly for all showings/inquiries.
