Once slated for conservation, the property is abundant with wildlife, including elk, bear, deer, and synchronous fireflies. Situated between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cherokee National Forest, this property is exceptionally rare. It features 165 acres, a private island, waterfall, numerous creeks, natural springs, mountain views, and more than approximately 1.5 miles of river frontage on the Pigeon River. This property checks the boxes for water and views. Multiple high elevation mountain top views and easy access to the Pigeon River make this a stunning property. Notably, the property has been recognized and earmarked as a high-priority conservation opportunity, having been included in a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) proposal package with support from Cherokee National Forest, The Tennessee Congressional Delegation, local government, and multiple conservation groups including The Conservation Fund and The Nature Conservancy. The property owners spent 18 months lining up this property for conservation - working diligently with conservation groups to ultimately see this land protected as an expansion of the Cherokee National Forest to one day be enjoyed by all. Although the acquisition was delayed due to federal funding constraints, this distinction underscores the property's unique ecological value and long-term potential. This property may one day fall under conservation again should assurances from the conservation organizations improve, but until then, it is up for private sale. The possibilities are extensive and include residential, commercial, and tourism-related ventures, especially given its convenient location to Interstate 40. Located in a high-volume tourist destination along the Pigeon River, in an area widely known as the busiest whitewater rafting river in the country, the opportunities are endless. Additionally, electricity and fiber optic high-speed internet are available at the property. Multiple adjacent parcels by a neighbor are currently listed separately for sale under MLS Listing #1339356, but they can be combined with this listing to create an ownership opportunity of more than 500 acres. Together, these parcels border the Cherokee National Forest at the Appalachian Trail. Situated just a third of a mile from downtown Hartford off Exit #447 on I-40, this location combines proximity to amenities with the tranquility of rural Tennessee. The parcels are located approximately 18 miles from the bustling town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee and approximately 40 miles to Asheville, North Carolina. This property is well-maintained and easily accessible. Don't miss your chance to explore this extraordinary property firsthand. Be sure to check out the virtual tour video. This listing includes 2 parcels: 121 006.00; 121 014.00
