Overview

Description

WATERFRONT - 45 UNRESTRICTED ACRES | MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES Approximately 45 unrestricted acres in Cocke County, Tennessee, with roughly 2,000 feet of Nolichucky River frontage, multiple potential building sites, usable waterfront acreage, and elevated mountain terrain. The combination of road access, topography, and extensive shoreline provides opportunities for residential, recreational, and commercial development. One of the property's most significant features is its extensive usable waterfront combined with manageable terrain offering multiple potential building sites with mountain and water views--features highly sought after in East Tennessee but rarely found together on one property. Unlike riverfront properties limited by steep banks or narrow strips of land, this property offers relatively level, accessible waterfront extending up to approximately 300 feet inland in certain areas.

The combination of road access, topography, and extensive shoreline provides opportunities for residential, recreational, and commercial development. One of the property's most significant features is its extensive usable waterfront combined with manageable terrain offering multiple potential building sites with mountain and water views--features highly sought after in East Tennessee but rarely found together on one property. Unlike riverfront properties limited by steep banks or narrow strips of land, this property offers relatively level, accessible waterfront extending up to approximately 300 feet inland in certain areas. This provides considerable space to accommodate building sites, internal roads, parking, recreational facilities, and waterfront amenities. Although the Nolichucky River has a natural current, portions of the waterfront are wider and calmer, giving the appearance and feel of a lake. The shoreline offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, and other waterfront activities. Seasonal or temporary docks may also be possible, subject to permitting and approval- buyer to verify. Multiple public roads maintained by Cocke County run through the property, providing access to multiple areas of the acreage. Electricity is serviced by Newport Utilities, with power infrastructure nearby at several locations near the waterfront and within the rear portions of the property. The land transitions from level waterfront to rolling and mountainous terrain with multiple potential building sites. Several portions of the property have grades manageable for construction equipment, with multiple access points allowing equipment to reach different elevations. This is particularly beneficial when considering grading, building pads, internal roads, utility installation, and phased development. Rather than relying on a single access point to reach the higher elevations, there are several locations from which a developer could evaluate access and construction. The property's configuration allows for several development concepts. A single-family residential community could incorporate homes along the elevated portions to take advantage of mountain and potential river views while maintaining shared waterfront access for residents. A cabin resort or short-term rental community could follow a similar approach, locating accommodations throughout the wooded and elevated acreage while reserving waterfront areas for guest amenities, recreational activities, and gathering spaces. The property is unrestricted. Other possibilities include an RV resort, campground, glamping, private hunting retreat, or recreational development. Commercial uses worth exploring include a kayak or canoe outfitter, fishing and outdoor recreation business, equipment rentals, waterfront event venue, or a combination of lodging and recreational services. The amount of usable waterfront, multiple potential building sites, and access to different elevations provide flexibility in evaluating how the property could be developed while making use of both the riverfront and mountainous acreage. Located in Bybee just outside of Newport and Parrottsville, Cocke County, the property is within reach of Western North Carolina- Asheville, Hot Springs, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains, providing access to established tourism markets, outdoor recreation, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.
