Set atop Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau, The Oaks at Sewanee (lot 16) is a rare collection of just seventeen estate homesites beneath a canopy of old-growth hardwoods. Each parcel offers more than five acres of privacy, quiet, and natural beauty -- thoughtfully planned to preserve the character of the land itself. Located along Deepwoods Road near Sewanee, the community sits at nearly 2,000 feet of elevation, offering cooler summers, expansive valley views, and exceptionally dark night skies. Generous homesites, private roads, and conservation-adjacent surroundings create a setting that feels both secluded and deeply connected to nature. Just minutes from Sewanee Village, the University of the South, and Monteagle, The Oaks offers a rare opportunity to build an enduring mountain retreat in one of Tennessee's most storied landscapes. Each lot comes with a water tap, a $4,500 expense.
