Bring your plans to this 8.47+/- acre UNRESTRICTED property bordering USFS land on Joe Brown Highway, with power, a private well, and septic already installed. The former homesite offers a modest mountain view, and the existing utilities may be used for camper hookups while you plan your next steps. A ridge-top area offers a potential future homesite with the possibility of broader views of Lake Hiwassee. The USFS border adds room for adventure, including the opportunity for a longer hike through the forest to the lake. For easier access to the water, a USFS boating access area is just down the road. A concrete slab remains from the home lost to fire in early 2026. Its suitability for new construction is unknown, but it may have potential for camper parking or other parking use. Whether you envision a full-time home or a mountain getaway, this acreage offers space, flexibility, and a head start with existing utilities.
