Rare 20+ Unrestricted Acres Bordering Cherokee National Forest - Spring, Stream & Incredible Mountain Setting!
Imagine stepping from your own property directly into the Cherokee National Forest, with thousands of acres of protected public land waiting just beyond your boundary. This exceptional 20+ acre unrestricted tract near Tellico Plains offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, recreation, and incredible potential in the heart of the East Tennessee mountains.
For the outdoor enthusiast, hunter, or anyone dreaming of a secluded mountain retreat, this property is truly something special. With direct National Forest frontage, your backyard opens to seemingly endless opportunities for hiking, hunting, exploring, and wildlife viewing. Deer, turkey, and other native wildlife frequent the area, creating an outstanding setting for those who appreciate the outdoors and the freedom of owning land surrounded by nature.
Adding to the beauty of the property is a natural spring originating right on the land, creating a peaceful stream that winds through the wooded acreage. An existing gravel road extends approximately halfway around the property, providing convenient access for exploring and enjoying more of the tract.
Travel to the highest point of the property and you'll discover one of its most impressive features--an excellent potential homesite surrounded by the beauty and seclusion of the mountains. Cell service is available from this elevated location, and nearby Cherokee National Forest boundary markers serve as a reminder of just how uniquely positioned this property truly is.
With no restrictions, the possibilities are wide open. Build your dream mountain home, create a secluded cabin or weekend getaway, establish your own private hunting retreat, or simply preserve the acreage as a peaceful escape and long-term investment.
The property has been surveyed, features paved county road frontage, and has electric available at the road--valuable improvements that can make bringing your vision to life that much easier.
Best of all, you can enjoy the feeling of being tucked away in your own private mountain sanctuary without sacrificing convenience. Located less than five miles from Tellico Plains, you're just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday necessities while still surrounded by the quiet beauty of East Tennessee.
Properties offering 20+ unrestricted acres with direct Cherokee National Forest frontage, a natural spring and stream, established access, and a potential homesite are increasingly difficult to find.
Bring your hiking boots, walk the land, and experience what makes this property so special. This is more than acreage--it's an opportunity to own your own piece of the Tennessee mountains with the Cherokee National Forest as your backyard.
