Here’s your chance to own a rare piece of Tennessee—an island property in the Cumberland River.

Perfect for primitive camping, fishing, and outdoor adventures, this property offers the ultimate escape from the everyday. Accessible only by boat, the nearest launch point is the Old Rome Ferry Boat Ramp off Lebanon Highway (US 70) in Rome, TN. Whether you’re looking for a private weekend retreat, a unique investment, or a one-of-a-kind getaway spot, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. Lot 9, a 2-acre tract on the island, is also available for purchase—buy one or both for even more space to make your riverfront dreams a reality.

It is the intent of this district to provide space for forestry, agriculture and agriculturally oriented uses and structures which provide an important part in the economy of Smith County. It is the intent here to protect the physical and economic well being of agriculture operations and to prevent the encroachment of urban and other incompatible land uses on farmlands by minimizing conflicts between agricultural and forestry activities with various non-farm activities; to permit lands best suited for intense agricultural uses to be reserves for these suited purpose; and to prevent lands unsuitable for building of an urban or nor rural nature, due to topographic problems, location, or the inability to provide necessary urban services, or being encroached upon by these incompatible land uses. Areas assigned to the A-1 District are primarily areas where low density land use activities are deemed desirable for more of the reasons outlined above and is consistent with the provisions and intent of the Smith County Growth Plan and sections 6-58-101 through 6-58-115 Tennessee Code.
