Acreage, Scenery, and Opportunity
Tucked away in the mountains of Upper East Tennessee, this approximately 51-acre tract offers a remarkable blend of open land, wooded acreage, and direct access to protected wilderness, as the rear boundary adjoins the Cherokee National Forest. Whether you envision a private estate, mini-farm, or legacy property, this land delivers space, scenery, and opportunity.
The property unfolds with expansive, level meadows framed by towering trees, creating a picturesque setting with sweeping views of the Iron Mountains. A rushing creek along the eastern boundary and an additional small creek toward the back of the property enhance both the beauty and tranquility of the land. The wooded sections feature mature timber, gentle slopes, and established trails, ideal for exploring, riding, or enjoying the abundant wildlife that call this area home.
Existing improvements add significant value, including a solid block foundation suitable for a future residence, public water already in place, and an existing septic system. A well-maintained two-story barn with electric service and concrete flooring offers versatility and potential perfect for a wedding venue, equipment storage, livestock, or conversion into a barn-style living space while you build your forever home.
Access to the back portion of the property is provided by a deeded shared road from Jess Hurley Rd, ensuring convenience without compromising privacy. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Appalachian Trail, Watauga Lake, and the Watauga River, a renowned destination for trophy trout fishing. The property is located approximately 20 minutes from Damascus, Virginia, and about one hour from Boone, North Carolina and its ski resorts, offering both seclusion and accessibility.
With its exceptional setting, natural water features, usable acreage, and prime location, this property presents endless possibilities and a rare chance to own a truly special piece of East Tennessee land.
