Throw a dart anywhere outside Davidson or Shelby counties & you can find enough land to do so. Paying for it in Williamson Co might be a bit of a challenge though.........
You want flat land? Pick between Nashville & Memphis. Lots of rural areas there, lots of small farms probably for sale.
You want hill country? Pick between Nashville & Crossville or Nashville & Manchester/Tullahoma.
You want mountains? Go from Knoxville or Chattanooga towards the east.
You vote Dim? Stay where you are...........

It's still possible to find land that you can have a house and shoot on it, in Davidson county (there's still farms near the edges). It will require some searching, and you'll be competing with the developers for it, so the price is not likely to be attractive. Then there's the high (for TN) property taxes, the county rain tax, the spread of section 8 housing, the public school system that recruited a director of schools from southern California (I haven't kept up with where the current director of schools is from), the homeless camps near the suburbs, the firmly established democrat voting base...
Not the best option for someone looking to retire on a piece of land that they can shoot on, but it is possible.
