Lot 26 Airport Rd, Rockwood, TN 37854

Property Description

This 14.1 acre tract in Cumberland County, Tennessee offers something most buildable acreage in this price range cannot: a permanent open back boundary. Lot 26 backs directly onto a 1,100 +/- acre block of Mount Roosevelt Wildlife Management Area, managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. Whatever gets built around this tract over the coming years, the ground behind it will stay as it is. Public land at the back line is not something a buyer can add later. The land itself is rolling and wooded, carrying a good stand of pine with hardwood mixed through it. A wet-weather creek runs across the property, cutting the terrain and adding character to what would otherwise be a straightforward wooded tract. The topography gives a buyer several options for where to sit a home, and the tree cover means privacy from day one rather than after fifteen years of growth. Two things set this lot apart from raw acreage at a similar price. First, High Intensity Soil Mapping has already been completed here, and individual soil approval is underway. Anyone who has bought unmapped land and then waited on a perc test knows what that is worth. Second, the tract has been newly surveyed and clearly marked, so the boundaries are walkable today rather than a line on a plat. Utilities are in place at the development level. Active electric service and fiber internet run throughout Piney Creek Acres, and the interior road system is crushed gravel with a paved entrance. Roads were constructed to county specifications with a 50 foot right of way, which leaves the door open for county adoption down the road, though there is no plan for that at this time. Road maintenance is shared across the community through a $600 annual fee written into the restrictions and the deed. There is no HOA. Restrictions here are deliberately light. A 1,200 square foot minimum living area, no mobile homes, and no commercial businesses keep the character of the development intact. Agriculture and livestock are permitted, so a buyer wanting a few head, a garden, or outbuildings has room to work. The full restrictions are available on request. Access is the quiet strength of this location. Interstate 40 sits less than three miles from the property, which puts Crossville roughly 20 minutes west and Knoxville approximately an hour east. Rockwood Municipal Airport is minutes from the subdivision entrance. Flatrock Motorsports Park is about five miles out. Rockwood, Crossville and Harriman cover groceries, restaurants and healthcare without a long drive. For a buyer who wants to build on wooded acreage in Cumberland County, hunt or hike public land from their own back line, and still reach the interstate in five minutes, this tract lines up unusually well. It also holds its own as a recreational property or a long-term land holding in a part of East Tennessee that continues to draw people out of the cities. Buyer to verify all information and measurements before making an informed offer.
