About this home

56.6 acres partially within Franklin city limits, walking distance to Main Street and public river access on the Little Tennessee Greenway. Rolling hardwood timber, year-round mountain views, a branch-fed stream, and paved state road frontage. Overhead electric in place, fiber optic available, no deed restrictions, no HOA. Franklin draws 300,000 visitors a year. Boutique shops, breweries, farm-to-table dining, and the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts are within walking distance of this property. So is the river. Walkable acreage at this scale, this close to an active downtown, does not come available in Western North Carolina. This parcel has been in two families since 1944 and has never been publicly listed. A house conveys as-is. Suitable for residential development, a mixed-use community, or a private estate. Cash or conventional. Appointment only.
