About this home
A truly rare opportunity to own 6.5 acres in one of Chattanooga's most sought-after and rapidly growing corridors. Located just minutes from Hamilton Place Mall with immediate access to Interstate 75, this property offers a powerful combination of convenience, visibility, and future upside. This unique offering includes two parcels being sold together (8840 Igou Gap Rd and 8844 Igou Gap Rd), creating a larger, more flexible footprint--something increasingly difficult to find in this area. The land features a desirable mix of partially wooded and cleared terrain, allowing for both privacy and practical use. With water, electric, and septic already in place, plus a corner lot with road frontage, the property is primed for a custom estate, multiple homesites, or a strategic development play. Positioned near the established Mountain Shadows subdivision, this location benefits from strong surrounding demand and continued growth. Opportunities with this level of acreage, infrastructure, and proximity to major retail and interstate access are exceptionally limited. If you've been waiting for a property with true upside and flexibility in a prime Chattanooga location, this is it. Schedule your tour today!

Westview-Mountain Shadows, located between Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee River, is a residential and hillside Chattanooga neighborhood with winding streets and wooded slopes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Broad Street corridor near St. Elmo, where coffee counters, local eateries, and trail-ready storefronts set a steady, outdoors-forward rhythm. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer builds tucked into the grades, with frequent ridge and valley sightlines. The landscape leans into pocket parks and quick transitions from pavement to trail. Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center and the Incline Railway act as local touchstones for weekend routines. St. Elmo’s 1885 Grill and The Tap House anchor the nearby dining scene with a distinctly local feel.
