Description
This property contains 28.25 acres +/-. A spring fed creek meanders through a lush area of grassy land that is downhill from the road. Two entrances provide easy access in and out to the old homestead, barns, and outbuildings that served the family farm in the days gone by. This area is perimeter fenced and the barn sections are separated by cross fencing. This fenced area runs along the whole width of the property at the bottom. Cattle graze the slopes up the hill where there are a couple of areas below the top of the ridge that are somewhat level. The slope is a bit step, but easy to walk. A driveway was cut in long ago. It is still usable and runs diagonally across the hill from one side to the other as it wedges its way up into the woods. The woods are beautiful. The trees are mature and tall giving the woods a full canopy. The road is really very good and it is pleasurable to walk along it through the woods. The road stretches across the property, close to the far edge and then turns up and back, and out towards the clearing at a higher level. The part of the road that runs through the field will need a little smoothing out, but this road is otherwise, already a great driveway to the likely home sites. The first site is roughly half way up on a kind of bench behind a line of trees. The higher site is at the top just below the ridgeline. It is in a large grassy area that is tucked into an alcove created by the woods that wrap around it on all but one side. You could be fully private in a home up there with an incredible view from one of the highest hills in the area. A few of the out-buildings or barns might still have potential for continued use. The farmhouse, built in 1959, is too broken down and not livable. But, the old septic system, yet to be located, might still be viable. The farm house was served with spring water from the red brick Sneedville Utility building (just beyond the far end of the property). The city is no longer providing water from that source, so a well is needed. The creek is lovely and constantly running with the same spring water that used to be piped into the house from the city building. The property supports cattle and has a large area of lush land at the bottom for other animals and gardens. Its views are exceptional, the woods are gorgeous, and the creek is vibrant. The whole surrounding area is a very beautiful patchwork of large rolling farms with lovely homes and manicured land. Electricity is there, and possibly fiber internet. The town of Sneedville, within a 10-minute scenic drive, has facilities to meet most every need. Morristown & Rogersville, larger cities, are within 40 minutes. The size of the land was estimated by using the measuring tool in the CRS system. There will be cleaning up to do at the bottom. Yet, it is a lovely property worth the trouble. Estimates can be obtained for this. AN IMPORTANT NOTE: This property is part of an estate. Three additional, individual properties across the street are also available. None of these properties are in a subdivision and there are no restrictions. Here you have the perfect opportunity to have your families together, already establishing to each their own homestead without having to create any separations. Each property has its own road frontage, its own beautiful woods, fields and views. They are variable in size. The land on all of them has been maintained and except for removal work and infrastructure, they are ready for building without having to develop the land. The land itself is in really good shape for living. The homes are not livable and have no value. The barns and out buildings are old. Each property is in MLS with its own description & pricing. The estate is being sold As-Is. The buildings and various supplies and equipment will remain as is. Buyers & brokers should verify all information for facts and accuracy.
