| Most common lot size | Oversized half-acre (24,000–30,000 sq ft): 15% of vacant lots; next, half-acre lot at 11%. Median lot: 0.74 acre (32,230 sq ft). [1] |
| Typical appraised value | $65,500 median appraised value for a vacant lot; the middle half fall between $42,300 and $105,700 [1] |

| Owners who live elsewhere | 69% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Tennessee (most often OH, KY, FL) [1] |
| Mandatory association membership | The court-appointed receiver's 2025 letter says all Deerfield Resort property owners are members of the Deerfield Resort Homeowners Association. [2] |
| Dues exist; verify current amount | The same letter ties voting to paid 2024 dues or maintenance fees and gives one vote per lot, condo or hangar. It does not publish the current charge, so obtain a current ledger. [2] |
| Private roads and road fee | The published restrictions describe private roads, require an annual road-maintenance and security fee, set a 25 mph speed limit and allow unpaid assessments to become a lien. [3] |
| Community water system | The Deerfield Water System says it draws groundwater from seven wells and operates 18 miles of system with 550 connections, with a sample taken monthly from each well. [4] |
| Building and septic restrictions | The restrictions require plan approval at least seven days before construction, a 1,000-square-foot main-floor minimum and septic approval for a residence. [3],[7] |
| Setbacks and drainage | The covenants list a 20-foot front setback, 10-foot side setbacks and at least a 15-inch driveway culvert, with the owner responsible for road damage during construction. [3] |
| Norris shoreline permits | TVA says shoreline construction and other alterations require a Section 26a permit. Its review is site-specific and examines ownership and the property's relationship to TVA land rights. [10],[9] |
| Norris Reservoir | TVA lists a proposed commercial recreation license on Norris Reservoir over 11.1 water-based acres at Deerfield Resort, for harbor limits with wet slips only. It is a license request, not a finding about each lot. [12] |
Pricing
What is a lot in Deerfield Resort worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Deerfield Resort sold for a median of $53,500 across 18 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $39,000 to $73,800. [1]
These are open-market sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.
What moves the price in Deerfield Resort
Association standing comes before amenity value
Association records come before amenity value. A 2025 letter from the court-appointed receiver says every Deerfield Resort property owner belongs to the homeowners association. It also says election eligibility required paid 2024 dues or maintenance fees and assigned one vote to each lot, condo or hangar. The letter does not state the current annual charge. A seller should request a current owner ledger, payoff and governing documents from the association. Campbell County's Register of Deeds says restrictions can be found in the deed and directs owners to an attorney or title company for lien research. Those current records, not an older fee sheet, show what must be cleared for closing. [2],[6]
Private roads, covenants and the building envelope
The Deerfield restrictions make road and design obligations part of the land analysis. They set a 25 mph private-road limit, require a road-maintenance and security fee and say unpaid assessments can become a lien. New plans must be submitted at least seven days before construction. The document sets a 1,000-square-foot minimum finished main floor, a 20-foot front setback, 10-foot side setbacks and a driveway culvert of at least 15 inches. A completed driveway must be paved within one year after the dwelling is finished. These rules can narrow the usable layout on a sloped or irregular lot and add costs beyond the county building permit. A title review must identify which version of the restrictions controls the specific Deerfield or Deerfield Hangar parcel. [3],[5],[6]
Water service does not replace septic approval
Deerfield has a community water system, but vacant-lot utility work still needs parcel-level confirmation. The system reports seven groundwater wells, 18 miles of pipe and 550 connections. Those network totals do not prove that a meter, tap or adequate line already serves a particular lot. The subdivision restrictions also call for septic approval for a residence. For property on the county permit path, Campbell County requires the septic permit before its building permit. TDEC charges $400 for a conventional permit up to 1,000 gallons per day and $100 for construction inspection; soil mapping or an alternative design may be needed. A buyer therefore checks both water service and whether the home, driveway and drain field fit. [4],[3],[5],[7]
Lake position and TVA approval are not the same thing
A shoreline label does not replace TVA review. TVA says Section 26a requires a permit for shoreline construction and other alterations. Its review checks property ownership, the site's relationship to TVA land rights and site-specific impacts. The Norris plan covers 27,926.8 acres of reservoir land divided among use-allocation zones, including conservation and shoreline-access areas. A waterfront parcel therefore needs review of the deed, TVA boundary, existing permit, slope, flood map and practical route from the homesite to the water. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [10],[9],[11]
Recent lot sales are context, not a guaranteed price
The 2025 roll contains 18 qualifying, arm's-length lot sales in the Deerfield and Deerfield Hangar subdivision-name scope. Their median was $53,500, and the middle half ran from $39,000–$73,800. Those are lot sales, not proof that each seller was a prior retail owner. The vacant-lot appraisal median is $65,500. Association balance, private-road position, water tap, septic feasibility, slope, lake or golf relationship, restrictions and title can move an individual offer far from either figure. [1],[2],[3],[4]
Common situations
Selling land in Deerfield Resort in these situations
You owe association or maintenance charges
Yes. You may still be able to sell, but the title company needs a current association payoff. The receiver's letter confirms that dues or maintenance fees were tracked for 2024 and that paid status affected voting. The restrictions say unpaid road-maintenance and security assessments can become a lien. Do not rely on an old fee sheet or a neighbor's amount. The correct path is a parcel-specific ledger showing current dues, late charges, special assessments and any transfer requirement. Liens or back taxes can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, with the seller's consent. That gives the buyer clear title and prevents an outdated number from creating a last-minute shortage. [2],[3]
You bought a lot for recreation but never built
Yes. An unimproved Deerfield lot can be sold even if you never applied for utilities or building approval. The buyer still needs to price the private-road obligations, current association balance, water connection, septic path and covenant-controlled building envelope. The restrictions call for advance plan approval and specific setbacks, culvert size and finished-floor minimums. TDEC may require soil mapping or an engineered wastewater design. The only contingency is our land inspection, and a failed inspection costs the seller nothing. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work. [3],[4],[7]
Your deed says Deerfield Hangar
Yes. This page and its roll figures expressly include subdivision names Deerfield and Deerfield Hangar. A hangar parcel still needs its own deed, plat, access, utility, association and permitted-use review; the shared scope does not make every tract interchangeable. The restrictions discuss airplane hangars and require developer approval plus septic approval for a hangar apartment. The receiver's letter also treats each hangar as a separate voting unit when dues are paid. We check utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. Closing runs through an independent, licensed title company. [1],[3],[2]

Questions
Selling land in Deerfield Resort: common questions
Is Deerfield Resort a city or a private subdivision?
Deerfield Resort is treated here as a private subdivision, not a municipal land area. Its roll scope is parcels with the subdivision names Deerfield or Deerfield Hangar. The association letter confirms mandatory membership, and the recorded restrictions set private road, building and septic rules.
How much are Deerfield Resort dues on a vacant lot?
The current amount was not verified from an official published schedule. The official 2025 receiver letter confirms dues or maintenance fees and ties paid 2024 status to voting, but gives no current rate. Request a parcel-specific ledger and payoff from the association before relying on any older fee sheet.
Who maintains Deerfield Resort roads?
The subdivision restrictions treat the roads as private and require an annual road-maintenance and security fee. They describe developer control of roads and common areas until transfer to property owners. A current association disclosure should confirm present control, maintenance responsibility and any planned road assessment.
Can I sell a Deerfield lot that failed an old soil test?
Yes. A failed or uncertain soil review affects the offer but does not automatically prevent a sale. TDEC may require a new site evaluation, licensed soil map or alternative design based on the proposed house. We buy vacant lots and land for cash, including lots with no water, sewer or road work.
Does a Deerfield lake lot automatically include dock rights?
No. TVA requires Section 26a review for shoreline construction and alterations, and the Norris plan assigns different uses to TVA-managed land. TVA's site review examines ownership and the property's relationship to its land rights, so the deed, boundary, existing permit and physical access must be checked.
Can I sell my Deerfield Resort lot from another state?
Yes. 69% of vacant lots in this subdivision-name scope have owner mailing addresses outside Tennessee. We offer electronic signing, mail-away closings and payment by check or wire, with closing through an independent, licensed title company.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?
Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- Water, Sewer, Septic, and Wells on Vacant Lots
A vacant lot may use public water, a private well, public sewer, or an onsite septic system, but nearby pipes and neighboring homes do not prove what the parcel can use. Ask each utility for a written availability decision, ask the permitting office whether connection is mandatory, and obtain a qualified site evaluation before saying septic will fit. Keep every response, permit, plan, test, and receipt.

How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover parcels on the Campbell County roll whose subdivision name is Deerfield / Deerfield Hangar. Source [1] is our own count of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's county parcel and assessment files (assessment data dated August 28, 2026): a vacant lot is a residential parcel with no buildings, mobile home or improvement value; values are the county assessor's appraised (market) value; sale prices count only 2025 warranty-deed sales of a single lot that was vacant when it sold, at $1,000 or more, with bulk deeds and development-land deals removed. Treat medians as a guide to recent recorded amounts, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 2, 2026.
