Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This offering is a 37-acre non-restricted mountaintop brow lot in Middle Tennessee with a creek running through the property and multiple build sites. The terrain is split between about 5 acres along the brow and about 33 acres down toward the wrap-around creek. A lot is perk tested and approved for a 3-bedroom home at the creek, supporting residential development plans. On-site improvements include a 2-year-old, lived-in tiny house with full-size appliances and a separate 100-year-old four-room original storage cabin home. Utilities and site amenities include 200 amp electric service on the upper driveway and a 30 amp RV outlet installed on the service pole, along with mature hardwoods suitable for milling. Newer portable sawmill and additional heavy equipment are described as available, and the property and equipment are sold as-is, with a surveillance system in place.

The property is located in Spencer, Tennessee in Van Buren County and is described as secluded on top of Spencer Mountain. The listing notes walking distance to the Van Buren County School System and references nearby recreation areas including Fall Creek Falls, Burgess Falls, and Baker Mountain. Drive times provided include 15 minutes to Sparta, 30 minutes to Cookeville, 1 hour to Chattanooga, 90 minutes to Knoxville, and 2 hours to Nashville.

Given the approved septic for a 3-bedroom home at the creek, utility availability, and multiple build locations, the land may fit buyers planning a primary residence, a cabin compound, or a small-scale tiny home use. The property is also presented as suitable for hunting cabin recreation based on the listed wildlife presence and established trails, with building and milling support offered by the included equipment.
