Salem Battlefield

Once-in-a-Lifetime Historic Land Offering Near Jackson, Tennessee

For the first time in more than 80 years, and only the second transfer since the Civil War, this extraordinary 350+/- acre property is being offered just five minutes east of downtown Jackson. Steeped in history and remarkably preserved, the land remains "just as it was in 1862", according to a 2017 Middle Tennessee State University study.

The property features approximately 225 acres of productive, cultivated farmland with the balance in beautiful rolling timber, offering both dependable farm income and outstanding recreational use. The tract lies entirely outside the floodplain and features the winding Jones Creek that showcases the gently rolling topography, enhancing both usability and long-term development potential.

Adding to its uniqueness, the property is part of the Salem Battlefield, where the City of Jackson has an active and expanding heritage tourism project underway. The state has recently acquired the adjacent 120 acres, further reinforcing the long-term vision and significance of this area.

Whether viewed as an income-producing farm, a premier recreational holding, a strategic development opportunity, or a legacy property tied to one of West Tennessee's most important Civil War sites, this offering is truly without parallel.
