Varied Topography

Even though Tennessee isn't a very large state, the varied topography convinced developers to divide the state into six different major regions and two minor regions, with each region having its own unique topography.

The Central Basin and both of the state's minor regions are excellent locations to check out land for sale in Tennessee especially for farming, particularly raising crops. While the Mississippi Flood Plains often experience flooding, local farmers feel that the rich deposits of silt from the overflowing river compensates them for the crop loss. The other regions are ideal for small farms, particularly livestock operations, and non-farming residential properties.
