DIRECT RIVER FRONT--Three individual, riverfront lots are available as: one (2.58 acres), two (5.16 acres) or three (7.75 acres)!! This is a beautiful riverfront property that is perfect for recreation. Two lots are available through our Seller in this listing, and a third one is offered by his brother. Currently each 2.58 acre lot, for $56,000 each, can be purchased individually or together. These are gorgeous, deep lots that drop easily down into the water. There are amazing views of close mountains all around, and the valley that lays between them. Each lot has approximately 375 ft fronting on Caney Valley Rd, and each has direct frontage on the Clinch River in the back. If ever you have dreamed of having your own spacious riverfront property, your opportunity to acquire up to +/- 7.75 acres is now. Beyond a recreational use, you may have different plans in mind. Each 2.58-acre parcel has its own deed and identification number; and, each parcel is shown on a combined plat. There is no zoning and there are no restrictions but there are a few rules for new construction. These parcels are mostly level, clear to the sky, and lay within 600 ft (more or less) of existing electric lines and internet. They are beautiful, grassy fields that produce hay. There should be no need for expensive excavating and tree clearing. For permitting you'll need at least 1 surveyed acre, a septic permit, an electric connection, and a well. With eyes wide open though you realize this is river front property in a flood zone and subject to occasional flooding. Sometimes it may be just a little, and sometimes, every so many years, it will rise high up. You will see there are several homes and recreational areas along this line that have survived quite nicely because they were raised up when they were built with this in mind. Parcels 06 & 07 share a driveway between them coming in from the road. Parcel 08 will need its own driveway if it is sold alone. Therefore, parcel 08 will not be closed in a sale until after the others have been deeded.

150± Acres on the Clinch River -- Unrestricted Mountain Land in Eidson, Tennessee Where the Clinch River bends, 150 acres of unrestricted Tennessee wilderness is waiting for the right owner. Tucked into the folds of Hancock County, this 150± acre tract carries something most Tennessee land can only dream of -- a long, sweeping boundary on the legendary Clinch River. From the water's edge, the ground climbs through mature hardwood timber to ridgelines crowning past 1,700 feet, delivering more than 600 feet of vertical relief, layered views, and the kind of deep seclusion that out-of-state buyers drive hours to find. This is unrestricted land in the truest sense: no HOA, no zoning, no covenants telling you what your dream can become. Build the river cabin. Run the hunting club. Hold the timber as a legacy. The choice is yours. For the sportsman, the property is a ready-made wildlife factory -- heavy cover, oak ridges, secluded hollows, and a riverfront travel corridor that funnels deer and turkey through the bottoms. The Clinch itself is no ordinary creek; it ranks among the most biologically diverse rivers in North America, prized by anglers for trophy trout and hard-fighting smallmouth. Along the river you'll find rare flat ground -- fertile Staser and Sensabaugh bottomland soils that open the door to food plots, a homesite, or a small pasture. The balance of the acreage is rugged, wooded, and gloriously private, the way real Appalachian land is meant to be. Public electric runs to the access along Big Springs and Horton Ford Road, and annual taxes sit at a remarkably low figure for a tract this size. Location seals it. You're inside an hour of the Virginia, Kentucky, and North Carolina lines, yet a world away from traffic and neighbors. Stand on a ridgetop at sunrise, and you'll understand why land like this is bought once and held for generations. Hardwood timber adds standing value; the river adds soul. Tracts of this scale, with this much frontage on a river this storied, do not come to market often -- and rarely stay long. Whether you're an investor eyeing timber and appreciation, a hunter chasing lease-free ground, or a family searching for a place to put down roots, Big Springs Road answers the call. Come walk it. Bring your boots. The Clinch doesn't whisper to everyone. If it's calling you, don't wait. Don't let this one slip downstream. Land this size with frontage on the Clinch rarely lasts. Call or text to schedule a private walk-through, request the full map and survey package, or ask about your purchase options -- traditional sale or auction. Boots on the ground beat photos every time. Let's go see it.
