About this home

75 Acres of scenic beauty in the heart of Townsend, the gateway to the Smoky Mountains. 2 miles from the entrance of the GSMNP. 16 miles from Knoxville airport. One mile to the IGA grocery. Flat, generally straight roads throughout. Not the steep, curvy roads the area is known for. Acreage appraised at $35k/acre. Motivated seller has this priced at $25K/acre. Rare in this area this picturesque property offers multiple stunning build ready building sites with private road access. One premium building site sits atop a ridge that offers spectacular views of Rich Mountain. The site has been excavated flat with power/transformer and commercially installed road to create an approximate 2 acre build ready homesite fit for a trophy home. Another, equally stunning building site sits across the road, aptly named Sunset Hill, bordered by old-growth White oaks and other hardwoods. This site also has spectacular views of Rich Mountain in the GSMNP with ample space for gardens and out buildings. At least half a dozen other breathtaking building sites are also on the property. Other attractive aspects include a live water creek that runs year-round, three ponds (one spring fed stocked with bass and bluegill), large hay fields ready to be fenced for cattle or horses. The land is thoughtfully improved with a newly renovated barn with power, having portions insulated with concrete floor currently housing a woodworking shop. It offers ample space for farm equipment storage and includes a working loft. Another modern metal barn provides a large area for additional storage of boats, campers, etc. There is a fully renovated farmhouse on the property that the seller is valuing at zero dollars, as the home is leased to a local Pastor and his wife at one dollar a year for their lifetime. This is why the seller is pricing this property at more than $1 million below appraised value. If you don't want the house - make offer without the house. Whether you are looking to build a private mountain estate, create a family compound, or invest in one of the East Tennessee & #39th most sought-after areas, this property delivers unmatched versatility and value. Ideally located adjacent to an additional 118 acres @ 518 Old Cedar Creek (MLS #1337980), this tract presents a rare opportunity to secure a larger legacy holding in one of the most peaceful and scenic regions of the Smokies.
