About this home

Prime 75-Acre Development Opportunity in Downtown Tazewell, TN Approximately 75 acres offering exceptional commercial and development potential in the heart of Tazewell. With CITY WATER and SEWER available, convenient access, and close proximity to the Claiborne County Courthouse, Tazewell City Hall, Claiborne Medical Center, LMU medical facilities, Norris Lake, and major highway systems, this property is well positioned for a variety of potential COMMERCIAL, residential, or mixed-use development opportunities. The property also features a deeded 50-foot right-of-way situated between Tazewell Municipal Park and Otto's Body Shop, providing a convenient point of access onto the tract of land. This property also has accessability from Old Knoxville Rd, Parkey Street, Haynes Street, & Church Street ***OWNER FINANCING OPTION AVAILABLE.*** The property consists primarily of open meadow and gently rolling hillside with multiple large, usable areas well suited for development. Its elevated setting provides impressive views overlooking Tazewell and the surrounding mountains of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. Currently operated as a working cattle farm, the approximately 75-acre tract is fenced and includes a large barn and pond, providing immediate agricultural use while offering substantial future development potential. The property also has a unique historical connection as part of the site of the Civil War ''Battle of Tazewell''. The farm served as a Union encampment historically known as ''The Breastworks,'' and an old cemetery on the property is associated with the area's Civil War history. A rare opportunity to acquire a large tract in downtown Tazewell with public utilities available, substantial acreage, scenic views, and significant commercial and development potential.
