Description
Situated in the Big Creek area of Cocke County, this 4.31 +/- acre tract offers a compact yet well-rounded landscape with strong access, natural water features, and access to the Cherokee National Forest. The property offers approximately 407 +/- feet of frontage along Big Creek Road and an additional 509 +/- feet on Cabbage County Road, providing multiple entry options and offering buyers flexibility when planning access, building locations, or future improvements. A small branch follows the Cabbage County Road boundary, supplying a consistent water feature along the lower edge of the property and enhancing habitat potential. The land rises from roughly 1,560 +/- feet at the road to about 1,800 +/- feet at the northeastern corner, offering a blend of gentle to moderate slopes typical of East Tennessee’s foothill terrain. The tract is fully wooded, providing natural seclusion, wildlife cover, and the possibility of selectively opening areas for cabins, campsites, or hunting setups. Elevated sections may offer opportunities for strategic build sites or view-oriented improvements. A significant advantage of this property is its proximity, approximately 500 +/- feet, to the Cherokee National Forest, placing you steps away from thousands of acres of public land for hunting, hiking, and year-round recreation. Cripple Creek lies directly across Big Creek Road, adding to the surrounding water presence and contributing to the region’s strong recreational appeal. Despite its quiet and secluded feel, the property remains well-positioned for convenience—Interstate 40 and Hartford are only minutes away, providing quick access to supplies, services, and major travel routes. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Cherokee National Forest, Great Smoky Mountains, and the well-known whitewater rafting corridor, all located within a short drive. Newport serves as the nearby full-service town for groceries, hardware, and additional amenities. This tract is well-suited for buyers seeking a manageable acreage for recreation, small-scale hunting opportunities, or a private mountain retreat with strong long-term ownership value. The combination of dual road frontage, wooded cover, elevation change, and nearby recreational attractions creates a versatile landholding in a desirable setting. Schedule your showing today.
