1 Gum Puckett Rd, Murfreesboro, TN 37127

Seven wooded acres await on Gum Puckett Rd, a quiet gravel road on the rural southeast side of Murfreesboro in Rutherford County, Tennessee — a private, tree-covered tract offering both an immediate escape into nature and a long-term homesite opportunity close to one of Middle Tennessee's fastest-growing cities. The level ground beneath mature trees gives buyers real flexibility: clear a homesite and keep the rest wooded for privacy and shade, or take a page from the flat, cleared horse farm next door and open up more of the acreage for pasture, a small farm, or equestrian use. There is no HOA and no subdivision, so buyers aren't boxed in by association rules or covenant restrictions. Public electric and public water are already available, along with individual septic and general high-speed internet options. An old gravel drive still crosses the front of the property, and a stone retaining wall stretching several hundred feet runs along the land — remnants of an earlier era that give this tract genuine historic Murfreesboro character, echoing the town's well-known Civil War-era roots around Stones River. This is a rare find for buyers looking for private, wooded acreage near Murfreesboro to build a homestead, weekend retreat, hunting property, or hobby farm — room for a barn, workshop, garden, or livestock, all within reach of city conveniences. Picture mornings with birdsong instead of traffic and evenings around a fire pit tucked into the trees. Murfreesboro is one of Tennessee's fastest-growing cities, home to Middle Tennessee State University, and sits about 33 miles — roughly 40 minutes — from downtown Nashville via I-24, keeping city amenities close while this tract stays tucked away in rural Rutherford County. Private, wooded acreage with historic character, utilities in place, and no HOA is hard to find this close to Murfreesboro. Schedule a showing today and bring your offer before this one is gone.
