Overview

This offering consists of approximately 139 acres of agricultural land/farmland under A1 zoning. The property includes rolling pastures, some of which are already fenced, suited to agricultural use, equestrian operations, or private land holdings. Water features are a key component, with approximately 5,000 feet of frontage on Tickanetley Creek. An original homeplace is located near a spring-fed branch beneath mature hardwoods and American Chestnut trees.

The land is set along Old Bucktown Road and borders more than 10,000 acres of protected U.S. National Forest. The setting is characterized by privacy and long-range mountain views, with year-round water presence connected to Tickanetley Creek. The property is also described as being near Springer Mountain, at the southern gateway to the Appalachian Trail.

For buyers seeking a larger tract for private estate development or equestrian-oriented land use, the combination of creek frontage, pasture terrain, and wooded character supports a range of personal and operational plans. The existing homeplace and spring-fed branch may be of interest to an owner looking to establish or continue use on-site. Seller financing is available with 20% down, which may help qualified buyers structure the purchase.
