Description

Create your very own mountain ranch in the Great Smoky Mountains area in Townsend, TN. With 40+/- acres of stunning mountain landscapes, this tract is most certainly going to leave you captivated and your head in the clouds dreaming about how you will develop this acreage into your very own remote homestead. Please Note: We definitely recommend a survey since this acreage is only estimated and we do not currently have a survey on file. As you enter the property through the electronic gate, you will see a driveway on the left that leads down to a rustic mountain cabin built in the 1900s. Seeing this cabin in all its rustic beauty takes one back to days gone by when life was unencumbered with deadlines, text messages, and being on task 24/7/365. A present reminder of life in the days of old leaves one in dreamland again about the unlimited possibilities this unrestricted tract offers. The area around the cabin once served as a garden area for the residents. Being able to live off the land and get back to the basics can be part of your reality if you desire. The cabin can be left in place, moved, or torn down. The value is in the land. No value has been given to the cabin in the pricing of this tract - just the land. There is a small piece of this tract that joins in with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You might even see horseback riders along the way making their way through to the mountain trails. The tract offers beautiful mountain views as well as wooded sections that remind one that heaven on earth is here in the mountains. If you desire a neighborhood filled with wildlife: deer, bears, wild turkey, and various other forms of creatures, this pristine tract is for you. Buyers: Please Note: You must be accompanied by a licensed real estate agent to gain access to this land. There is a gate in place and there is nowhere to turn around once you make it to the gate. There is a turnaround above the gate. For your safety, please do not GPS to this area. You do not want to have to back down the mountainside. Additionally, buyers need to be aware that there is an easement that is used by hikers and horse outfitters to gain access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park trails via this tract of land. Final Note: No value given for cabin on property. A water cistern and outhouse are in place on this property. Both have not been evaluated and both should be considered nonfunctional. Buyer(s) to verify all information during due diligence period. ***Please Note: Several of the pictures are drone pictures. The views looking back into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as well as the views looking down from the ridge top are all drone shots.
