Newcomb, TN 37819 - Campbell County

Own the whole mountain along Whistle Creek Ridge! Create a family retreat or amazing mountainside development. This land may be subdivided for a higher price-per-acre if you want a parcel of 50 acres or larger. Numerous drainages and springs feed a beautiful creek on the land would allow construction of a water reservoir of nearly 2 acres for a private water supply or a fishing paradise. 40k+ already spent on access, clearing, and improvements with multiple home sites ready if you want to build immediately or move your RV on site. You can buy raw or cutover land with no road system or infrastructure and spend tens of thousands of dollars on excavation, tree clearing, and roads in addition to the delays you'll experience trying to manage the work, or buy this farm with most of the work done (.65 mile main interior road in place and over a mile of additional trails graded on the land). This farm is located at the north end of Elk Valley in Newcomb, TN only 12 minutes from I-75 at the Jellico exit. It is mostly wooded and accessed via a 50' deeded right-of-way providing a short drive from the highway to the land. Gated access and exceptionally private with only one way into the property through a gap in the mountain and a ridge dividing the property from Highway 297 and road noise. The land has sites for mountaintop luxury home, multiple homes as a residential development, cabins, a hunting getaway, ATV recreational area, horse trails, or camping and hunting retreat for your family.

Boundaries are marked with yellow paint blazes on trees along much of the property line. Connect to Jellico Utilities electricity, high-speed internet, and the municipal water line at the highway. Septic system required per state guidelines. This land is surrounded by thousands of acres of hardwood timber forests. Convenient to TWRA & Ride Royal Blue, Big South Fork National Recreation Area, Lake Norris, and ATV riding at Windrock or Brimstone. You can drive your 4-wheeler, dirt bike, SxS, or quad without a Royal Blue permit on many miles of old unimproved county roads through the mountains at the Campbell-Scott county line and into Southern Kentucky. Build your dream home or cabin here to enjoy unlimited views as this property is completely unrestricted and you can do whatever the law permits on your land: estate home on top of the mountain with very long views, barndominium, log cabin, commercial metal toy or work building, etc. 55 miles and 1+ hour by car to downtown Knoxville to the south (via Exit 141 off I-75), 33 miles to the closest boat ramp on Lake Norris and major box stores and restaurants in Caryville, Jacksboro and LaFollette. Only 5.5 miles to Jellico and I-75 going north toward Lexington, KY. Please email or text owner to confirm your site visit prior to visiting the property, and do not enter the property or park on the land or right-of-way without an appointment. No offers considered without proof of funds to close or evidence of preapproval of financing (explore Farm Credit Services or Rural 1st for financing options). TOUR AT YOUR OWN RISK-by entering the property you agree to be responsible for your actions and choices; you're in the mountains so use due caution on the land. Multiple "street view" photos are included at the end of the "photos" section to assist you in locating the entrance to the property. Look for the barns across the highway as you near the driveway. The last few photos illustrate the driveway/right-of-way entrance to the gate (you'll see the 2-story red brick house adjoining to the north and fronting Hwy 297/Newcomb Pike). If you're already working with a Buyer's Broker or Realtor, please have that person contact me to schedule your visit and join you when you visit the farm. Plan on spending at least an hour on the property and perhaps a half day if you want to see most of the land. Seller has other parcels in the area from 1 acre to over 1,000 acres so contact me if you're looking for something different than what you see in this ad and see other listings at the bottom of this page.
