What a wonderful opportunity to build your special home close to the University of the South. This property is just minutes from the University. Perhaps the buyer might consider building some tiny homes on the property to serve the university faculty. The new owner might want to build a group of houses for relatives and friends to live close to each other. It is rare to have 8+ acres in a residential area. The previous owner had horses on the property. This property is just a short walk to the ''Mountain Goat Trail, '' a bike path that goes from Sewanee to Tracy City. The Franklin County Airport is nearby as well as restaurants. The property is in the Planned Growth area for Franklin County. Currently the front part of the property is zoned agricultural and the back part is zoned R2. The new owner could seek to have the zoning unified. The minimum lot size is 1/2 acre and a house requires access to Midway with 30' road frontage either by flag lot, easement or road frontage. Go walk this beautiful property and let your mind consider the endless possibilities. A survey is available and a soil test has been made. Although this information is reliable to the best of our knowledge , the Buyer is urged to perform due diligence to verify information that is deemed important. Utilities are serviced by the following companies: Natural gas--Elk River Public Utility Water--Sewanee Utility District Electricity--Duck River Electric Corporation Youtube Link to Drone Video https://www. youtube.com/watch?app=desktop & v=V0c2rcq0gEI
