Unlocking the Potential of Riversong's Beauty

Rural Haven for Farming: Out of its +-404 acres, Riversong is home to approximately 90+ acres of gently laying, rolling pasture and field. Acreage of this nature is highly sought after for its gentle building topography and agricultural potential. If you dream of a sustainable farm, there is ample acreage to make this a reality. The topography is gentle enough to build large-footprint buildings, dressage arenas, stables, and more. In fact, there are already two very large and well-maintained high-clearance tobacco barns on the property, totaling approximately 13,000 square feet.

Recreational Paradise: Riversong is rich in flora and fauna, with wildlife such as white-tailed deer, turkey, fox, black bears, geese, and more. Hunters and fishing enthusiasts will find the land and waters a dream come true. Bass, catfish, crappie, musky, and trout swim the Nolichucky, which is considered one of the top three angling rivers in East Tennessee. Many established trails and roads are ready for you to explore on horseback, foot, or ATV.

Event Venue or Vacation Rental: Considering developing acreage into an income-producing venture? Build rental cabins or glamping platforms throughout this land. Short-term vacation rentals with access to rivers are in extremely high demand, and in the right hands, this could be a highly successful venture. Another potential business might be an agri-tourist destination featuring an educational working farm where guests can enjoy a short-term stay and have the experience of living on a farm. Given this acreage's magical beauty and backdrop, a wedding and event venue would fit like a glove.

Estate Lot Development: Some owners might pursue subdividing Riversong’s land into estate lots for sale and will be pleased to know that development concept plans are on file. Approximately five miles of existing logging roads are ready to serve as interior driveways to multiple prime building sites up on the mountain, each of which could take in jaw-dropping views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and rivers below.
