About this home
This 635 +/- acre property offers an exceptional combination of recreation, long-term investment potential, and future homesite opportunities in the mountains of Fentress County, Tennessee. With approximately three-quarters of a mile of frontage along the East Fork Obey River, the property features abundant water resources, including Bear Branch, which forms the northern boundary before flowing into the river. Extensive interior trails provide easy access throughout the property, making it well-suited for hunting, fishing, hiking, ATV riding, and exploring. The land climbs to elevations of approximately 1,760 feet atop Lost Mountain, where several areas offer favorable topography for future homesites or pasture conversion while capturing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Beautiful working farms, rolling mountains, and protected forestland surround the property, creating a quiet setting with lasting scenic appeal. The tract borders more than 530 acres protected by a conservation easement, with that adjoining property also available for purchase for buyers seeking additional acreage. Fiber optic internet is available, public water is nearby, and the property was recently surveyed in February 2024. Located within a designated Opportunity Zone, the tract also presents potential long-term investment advantages. Outdoor recreation is exceptional with abundant populations of whitetail deer and wild turkey, excellent fishing opportunities, and convenient access to Catoosa Wildlife Management Area and the Obed Wild and Scenic River. The property is approximately 30 minutes from Crossville, 45 minutes from Cookeville, 1½ hours from Knoxville, less than two hours from Nashville, and approximately two hours from Chattanooga, making it an outstanding destination for a private retreat, family compound, recreational property, or long-term land investment.
