                             PART I
Item 1.  Business

          Nashville Land Fund, Ltd.  ("Registrant"), is a Tennessee
limited partnership organized on March 26, 1986, pursuant to the
provisions of the Tennessee Uniform Limited Partnership Act,
Chapter 2, Title 61, Tennessee Code Annotated, as amended.  The
General Partner of Registrant is 222 Partners, Inc.

          Registrant's primary business is to own and hold for
investment undeveloped real properties located in Goodlettsville,
Sumner County and Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee (the
"Property").  Registrant's investment objectives are preservation
of investment capital and appreciation of the value of the Property
due to development of the immediately surrounding areas and the
growth of the communities generally.

Financial Information About Industry Segments

          The Registrant's activity, investment in land, is within
one industry segment and geographical area.  Therefore, financial
data relating to the industry segment and geographical area is
included in Item 6 - Selected Financial Data.

Narrative Description of Business

          The Registrant is holding for investment approximately 58
sellable acres of land in various stages of development in
Goodlettsville, Sumner County and Nashville, Davidson County,
Tennessee.  These properties will be referred to respectively as
North Creek Business Park Property and Larchwood Property in the
remainder of this report.

          The North Creek Business Park Property is approximately
44 acres of land.  It is subdivided into 20 tracts, which are
cleared, graded and improved with roads and utilities.  The North
Creek Business Park Property is located in the incorporated City of
Goodlettsville, approximately 12 miles north of downtown Nashville,
and is zoned Commercial PUD.  It is intended for office users.

          An affiliate of the General Partner, North Creek
Associates, Ltd., owns land in the immediate vicinity of  North
Creek Business Park.  North Creek Associates, Ltd.'s land is
intended primarily for retail and apartment use.  The retail site,
called North Creek Commons, does not directly compete with the
Registrant due to their different uses.

          The Larchwood Property is approximately 14 acres located
in Nashville, Davidson County.  It is subdivided into  4 tracts,
which are cleared and graded.  One of the four tracts is zoned for
residential use, and all remaining acreage is zoned Commercial PUD.

Competition:
          The competition surrounding the Registrant's Property has
had very little change in the recent years.  The competitive sites
have also seen little activity in the past year and are asking
similar prices to the Registrant.

          The Registrant has no employees.  Partnership management
services are being provided under a contractual agreement with
Landmark Realty Services Corporation, an affiliate of the General
Partner.

Item 2.  Properties

          As of December 31, 1996, Registrant owned approximately
58 sellable acres of land in Goodlettsville, Sumner County, and
Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee.  These properties consist of
44 acres in the North Creek Business Park and 14 acres of the
Larchwood Property.  For further information, see Item 1 above.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

          Registrant is not a party to, nor is any of Registrant's
property the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

          The security holders of Registrant did not vote on any
matter during the fiscal year covered by this report.

                             PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership
Interest and Related Security Holder Matters

          There is no established market for the Units, and it is
not anticipated that any will exist in the future.  The Registrant
commenced an offering to the public on June 26, 1986 of 7,500 Units
of limited partnership interests at $1,000 per Unit.  The offering
of $7,500,000 was fully subscribed and closed on July 31, 1986.  As
of February 28, 1997, there were 459 holders of record of the 7,500
Units of limited partnership interests.

          There are no material restrictions upon Registrant's
present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with
the provisions of Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial        
     Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Sales

     In August, 1996, the Registrant sold .64 acres of the
Larchwood Property for approximately $108,000.  Proceeds were
retained to meet the operating expenses of the Registrant.  In
1995, the Registrant sold approximately one acre for approximately
$184,000.  There were no sales during 1994.  

     Also during 1995, the Registrant received $1,490,292 as
payment of interest and principal on the Note receivable.  These
proceeds together with the sale proceeds were used to make a $1.5
million distribution to the partners.

Analysis of Operations

      Several of the accounts of the Registrant fluctuated due to
the receipt of the Stewart's Ferry Note receivable in September
1995.  The majority of the Registrant's interest income was from
this note receivable.  The minimal interest income in 1996 is due
to the lack of income from this note due to its retirement in 1995. 
The fluctuation in interest from 1995 to 1994 is due to a nine
month period of interest accrual versus a twelve month period in
1994.  

     The income from profit participation relates to the note
receivable from Stewart's Ferry Joint Venture that was received as
part of the sale proceeds from the 1987 land sale to Stewart's
Ferry.  The Partnership received an equity participation agreement
during negotiations with the borrower.  The agreement generally
provided for the proceeds from the sale of the secured land to be
allocated as follows:  1) a full repayment of principal and all
accrued interest, 2) the borrower receiving $871,986, and 3) any
remaining proceeds from the sale of the land securing the note were
to be divided equally between the borrower and the Partnership.  In
September 1995, the land was sold.  The note receivable was
collected in full and a profit participation of $245,659 was
recognized by the Partnership.  This income was a singular event
and will not recur.

     The 1995 commission expense relates to the 1987 land sale to
Stewart's Ferry Joint Venture which incurred a commission of
$208,152.  $124,152 was paid in 1987.  The remaining $84,000 plus
interest was to be paid upon collection of the note receivable.  In
error, the unpaid part of the commission was not accrued in 1987. 
This error was not noticed until payment of the commission in 1995. 
Management decided not to treat the late commission as a prior
period adjustment because it was less than 4% of the original sale
proceeds and less than 2% of Partners' equity.  The commission
expense was recognized in 1995 when paid.  Generally, all
commissions on land sales are paid at the date of the sale and are
reflected as selling expenses.

     Asset writedown expense in 1996 relates to the Registrant's
reevaluation of the carrying value of land and improvements held
for investment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  This Statement, which
was initially adopted January 1, 1996, requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for
impairment on a property by property basis whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable.  Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell.  The fair value of the assets can be determined
externally using appraisals or internally using discounted future
net cash flows.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. 

     In the fourth quarter of 1996, as a result of this review, the
Partnership revised its assumptions used in developing its
estimated fair value and determined that certain properties were
impaired.

     As required by SFAS No. 121, the carrying value of the
Larchwood Property was written down $877,154 to a value of
$1,198,440.  This value is based on management's best estimate of
future cash flows based on the Partnership's experience in
disposing of these properties.  The resulting non-cash charge is
reflected in the accompanying 1996 statement of operations.  

     Management believes that the estimates used in evaluating the
adoption of SFAS No.121 were reasonable.  However, actual results
could differ from these estimates.  

     This evaluation will be repeated annually, or more often if
the general partner feels that is necessary and the reserve for the
decline in value of land and improvements will be adjusted.

     Architect and Engineering fees in general are incurred as the
Partnership prepares for land sales.  Some sales require more
engineering than other sales.  The 1994 fees can be attributed to
the sale that closed in January 1995.  The 1995 and 1996 fees
generally relate to the 1996 sale.  The fees are expended as
incurred because there can be no assurances that the related sales
will close as expected.  
<PAGE>
Financial Condition and Liquidity

     At February 28, 1997, $108,949 was held in cash and cash
equivalents to cover partnership administrative expenses.  The
General Partner believes that the 1997 cash expenses will remain
comparable to those incurred in the recent past.  Therefore, the
present cash balances should provide sufficient liquidity for 1997. 
Sales of the land held for investment are the Registrant's primary
sources of additional capital resources and liquidity.

percent of the Units of Registrant.

     As of the above date, the Registrant knew of no officers or
directors of 222 Partners, Inc. that beneficially owned any of the

                  Independent Auditors' Report

The Partners
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nashville Land
Fund, Ltd. (a limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Nashville Land Fund, Ltd. at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed of" on January 1, 1996.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    (a) Organization

        Nashville Land Fund, Ltd. (the Partnership) is a Tennessee
        Limited Partnership organized in March, 1986 to acquire,
        own, and hold for investment certain parcels of undeveloped
        real property located in Metropolitan Nashville, Davidson
        County, and Sumner County, Tennessee.  222 Partners, Inc.
        is the general partner of the Partnership.  The Partnership
        prepares financial statements and income tax returns on the
        accrual basis of accounting.

    (b) Estimates

        Management of the partnership has made certain estimates
        and assumptions to prepare these financial statements in
        accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
        These estimates include the determination of the estimated
        fair value of the land held for investment in accordance
        with the provisions of SFAS No. 121.  Actual results could
        differ from those estimates.

    (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Partnership considers all short-term investments with
        original maturities of three months or less at the date of
        purchase to be cash equivalents.

        Cash belonging to the Partnership is combined in an account
        with funds from other partnerships related to the general
        partner.

    (d) Land and Improvements Held for Investment

        Land and improvements held for investment are recorded at
        cost and include two tracts of undeveloped land
        representing approximately 103 and 104 acres in 1996 and
        1995, respectively.  Approximately 58 acres of the land are
        available for sale with the remainder being flood plain,
        roads, and landscaping.  Land costs include amounts
        incurred to acquire and develop the land, including
        interest and property taxes, during the development period.

                     (A Limited Partnership)

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

        Costs to hold land, including interest and property taxes,
        are charged to expense once development is substantially
        complete.  Land improvement costs incurred include
        development costs expended subsequent to the acquisition of
        a tract.

        The Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of
        Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting
        for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
        on January 1, 1996.  This Statement requires that long-
        lived assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of
        the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to
        sell.  The fair value of the assets can be determined
        externally, using appraisals, or internally using
        discounted future net cash flows.  If such assets are
        considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
        measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
        assets exceeds the fair value less estimated costs to sell
        of the assets.  If impaired, management establishes an
        allowance for impairment with a corresponding charge to
        earnings.  Losses upon the sale of the assets are
        recognized against the allowance to the extent available. 
        The initial adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a
        material impact on the Partnership's financial position,
        results of operations, or liquidity.  During 1996, as a
        result of revisions in management's assumptions used in
        determining the properties' estimated fair values, a
        valuation allowance of $877,154 was charged to operations
        and recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the
        land and improvements held for investment.  See note 2.

    (e) Income Recognition

        Income from sales of land and improvements held for
        investment is generally recorded on the accrual basis when
        the buyer's financial commitment is sufficient to provide
        economic substance to the transaction, and when other
        criteria of SFAS No. 66 " Accounting for Sales of Real
        Estate" are satisfied.  For sales of real estate where both
        cost recovery is reasonably certain and the collectibility
        of the contract price is reasonably assured, but the

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

        transaction does not meet the remaining requirements to be
        recorded on the accrual basis, profit is deferred and
        recognized under the installment method, which recognizes
        profit as collections of principal are received.  If
        developments subsequent to the adoption of the installment
        method occur which cause the transaction to meet the 
        requirements of the full accrual method, the remaining
        deferred profit is recognized at that time.  Any losses on
        sales of real estate are recognized at the time of the
        sale.

        Interest on notes receivable is recognized in income as it
        accrues during the period it is outstanding.  However, if
        an uncertainty exists about the collectibility of a note,
        the Partnership may establish a reserve for uncollected
        interest earned and recognize income only when cash is
        received.  The Partnership may also establish a reserve for
        doubtful accounts on notes receivable based on management's
        evaluation of the recoverability of the note.

    (f) Income Taxes

        No provision has been made in the financial statements for
        Federal income taxes, since such taxes are the
        responsibilities of the partners.  The partnership is
        subject to a 6% state tax on certain interest income.
        Additionally, the partners receive, from the partnership,
        IRS Form K-1's which provides them with their share of
        taxable income (or losses), deductions, and other tax
        information. The only difference between the tax basis and
        reported amounts of the Partnership's assets and
        liabilities relates to the valuation of land held for
        investment.

(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

    (g) Partnership Allocations

        Net profits, losses and distributions of cash flow of the
        Partnership are allocated to the partners in accordance
        with the Partnership agreement as follows:

        Partnership net profits are allocated first to any partner
        with a negative balance in their capital account,
        determined at the end of the taxable year as if the
        Partnership had distributed cash flow, in proportion to the
        negative capital balance account of all partners until no
        partner's capital account is negative.  Net profit
        allocations are then made to the limited partners up to the
        difference between their capital account balances and the
        sum of their adjusted capital contributions (capital
        balance, net of cumulative cash distributions in excess of
        preferred returns - 10% annual cumulative return on capital
        contributed) and unpaid preferred returns.  Any remaining
        net profit are allocated to the limited partners until the
        taxable year in which cumulative distributions to the
        limited partners equal their adjusted capital contribution
        plus an unpaid preferred return.  Net profits are then
        allocated to the general partner until the ratio of the
        general partner's capital account balance to the capital
        account balances in excess of adjusted capital
        contributions and unpaid preferred return of all limited
        partners is 28 to 72.  Thereafter, profits are generally
        allocated 28% to the general partner and 72% to the limited
        partners.  Net losses are allocated to the partners in
        proportion to their positive capital accounts.

                  Notes to Financial Statements

                   December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

        Partnership distributions are allocated to the limited
        partners in an amount equal to their preferred return (10%
        annual cumulative return on capital contributed) to the
        extent unpaid to date.  Any remaining distributions are
        allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general
        partner until the limited partners have received an amount
        equal to their adjusted capital contributions, and
        thereafter, 72% to the limited partners and 28% to the
        general partner.

        conform with the current year presentation.

        The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes was
        $5,067,590 and $5,120,859 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
        respectively. 

        At January 1, 1996, based upon an internal discounted cash
        flow analysis, the carrying values of the land and
        improvements was not less than its estimated fair value. 
        During the year ended December 31, 1996, management revised
        its estimated sellout period and discount rate resulting in
        a decline in the estimated fair value below the carrying
        value.

(2)  Land and Improvements Held for Investment (continued)

        Accordingly, the carrying amounts of the assets were
        written down, through the establishment of a valuation
        allowance, to their estimated fair values less costs to
        sell, as estimated based on the Partnership's experience in
        disposing of these properties.  The resulting non-cash
        charge, as identified on the accompanying financial
        statements, reduced the 1996 net income by $877,154.  

        Management believes that the estimates used in evaluating
        the adoption of SFAS No.121 were reasonable.  However,
        actual expenses and cash flows could differ from these
        estimates.

(3) Related Party Transactions

        The general partner and its affiliates have been actively
        involved in managing the Partnership.  Affiliates of the
        general partner receive fees for performing certain
        services.  Expenses incurred for these services for the
        years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 are as
        follows:

                                    1996         1995       1994

Real estate sales commissions         -         5,523          - 

(4)  Association Fees

        During 1989, an owners' association was formed to manage a
        portion of the land and improvements held for investment. 
        The Partnership incurred association fees totaling $24,691
        in 1996, $27,567 in 1995, and $26,370 in 1994, which relate
        to the Partnership's pro rata share of the owners'
        association expenses, consisting primarily of electricity
        costs, irrigation, and landscape maintenance.

(5)      Distributions

        For the years ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership made
        distributions to the limited partners of $1,500,000 ($200
        per unit).  There were no distributions made in 1996 and
        1994.

(6)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership had
        financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents,
        accounts payable, and accrued property taxes.  The carrying
        amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and
        accrued property taxes approximate their fair value because of the
        short maturity of those financial instruments.
