This Parcel is at the end of the gravel road inside the Overton Retreat development, it consists of approximately 414 acres and covers virtually the entire north half of Long Mountain, including about 130 acres of land below the bluff. The property has a six-inch water main, three-phase power, and fiber optic phone and Gigabit internet access. There is nearly four miles of bluff frontage that offers spectacular views toward the east, north, and west looking over the Rocky River Valley, the Caney Fork and Rock Island areas, and McMinnville. Build your dream home, guest homes, cabins, barns, etc with absolutely stunning views over the bluff.
The property was once settled by families who were subsistence farmers, but has been undisturbed for about seventy years and is again a mature forest with large timber and stands of mountain laurel. The terrain is mostly level above the bluff, and amazing low impact hiking opportunities abound with miles of trails through stands of Chestnut Oak trees, mature Pine trees, and around three "plateau ponds" which are important habitats for amphibians. Along the bluff a trail winds through large boulders and rock outcroppings, multiple springs send out small streams, one of which cascades over a large rock shelf.
There's plenty of land to clear pasture for animals, build a barn, and multiple homes all with spectacular views.
Nearby activities include Fall Creek Falls State Park, Savage Gulf State Natural Area, Cumberland Caverns (home of the Bluegrass underground), Center Hill lake for boating, Collins, and Caney Fork rivers for paddling and fishing adventures. We also have a 66 acre parcel, and multiple 2 acre lots available. The website video is a must see, and the Overton Retreat website shows highlights of what the community offers.
