If you've been looking for privacy, usable mountain ground, and direct access to the Cherokee National Forest, this is it. This 18.5-acre tract not only backs up to the Cherokee National Forest but also touches it along a majority of the left boundary, giving you extended frontage to thousands of acres of protected land. That means unmatched privacy, room to explore, and true East Tennessee mountain living right out your back door. The property offers a long, private setting with multiple potential homesites and a constant flowing spring toward the rear of the tract — a rare and valuable natural feature. Whether you're dreaming of building a cabin, homestead, hunting retreat, or simply holding land as an investment, the possibilities here are wide open. No restrictions means you can build what you want, bring your RV, create trails, establish a mini farm, or develop it to fit your vision. You'll enjoy: • Direct National Forest access • Constant flowing spring • Mature hardwoods • Mountain terrain with privacy • Convenient access to town while feeling completely secluded Properties adjoining the Cherokee National Forest are becoming harder to find, especially unrestricted tracts of this size. If you've been waiting on something special, this one deserves a look. Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all info.
