About this home

Escape to 5935 New River Highway in Briceville, Tennessee--54.7± private acres in Anderson County with more than 800 feet of frontage along Ligias Fork and two one-of-a-kind cabins tucked into the East Tennessee mountains. Surrounded by nature and backing up to more than 20,000 acres owned by the State of Tennessee, this property was made for the outdoor enthusiast, weekend adventurer, family retreat, or buyer looking to create a unique recreational investment. The experience begins by crossing Ligias Fork by private bridge or through the river and following the gravel drive through your own orchard. The first completely updated cabin features 2 bedrooms, a spa-inspired bathroom, kitchen, den with fireplace, and garage/workshop. Much of the flooring and trim was cut and milled directly from timber on the property, creating character that simply cannot be duplicated. Continue up the mountain to another beautiful setting with room for a future cabin, garage, workshop, or additional storage. After a hard rain, your own seasonal waterfall adds another unexpected feature along the way. At the end of the gravel road sits the second cabin, offering 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, an open living, dining and kitchen area, loft, outdoor storage, and generator backup. Natural materials and thoughtful details continue throughout this cabin, connecting the improvements to the land surrounding them. And that is only a small portion of what these 54.7± acres have to offer. A lower open field was previously used as a campground and creates exciting possibilities for family gatherings, additional camping or RV sites, motorcycle and side-by-side groups, or a future outdoor-oriented retreat. Explore the acreage, hike the property, create your own trails, gather around the campfire, or simply disappear into the mountains for the weekend. The surrounding area makes the property even more appealing to outdoor enthusiasts. Windrock Park offers 73,000 acres and more than 300 miles of off-road trails for SxSs, ATVs, dirt bikes, Jeeps and other off-road vehicles. Historic Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary is located along the same Highway 116 corridor in Petros, while nearby Frozen Head State Natural Area offers nearly 60 miles of hiking trails through the Cumberland Mountains. Whether envisioned as a private family compound, off-grid mountain getaway, recreational property, cabin retreat, or income-producing destination for outdoor travelers, 5935 New River Highway is more than acreage and two cabins--it is an opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of the East Tennessee mountains and create an experience entirely your own.
