Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this 42-acre retreat that promises seclusion and peace, all within a stone's throw from the vibrant heart of downtown Knoxville. Situated just ten minutes from Neyland Stadium and the University of Tennessee in southern Knox county, this extraordinary property is a private gateway to the Urban Wilderness - the premier destination for mountain biking enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.The land has been meticulously cared for and tended as a wildlife refuge for white-tail deer, grey squirrel, wild turkey, and native plant species. At the core of this natural paradise are the springs feeding Baker Creek, adding an idyllic charm to the landscape, vividly captured in the photographs that accompany this listing. Traversed by a network of trails and accessible via dual, graveled entrances from East Red Bud and Cruze roads, the property boasts a varied topography featuring two distinct ridges, flanking a valley which contains the springs that create Baker Creek. The broader ridge is accessible by both access points and is the most buildable area on the property. Electricity, municipal water, and sewer services are conveniently accessible along both roadsides. Municipal water and electricity has already been extended and connected to the residence. Originally built in 1899, the home on the property has a classic East Tennessee feel. Ample natural lighting, provided by large pane windows, accentuates the wood paneling, hardwood floors and high ceilings of this approximately 2,400 sq. ft. structure. A central fireplace promises a warm ambiance throughout the open floor plan. This homestead includes three cozy bedrooms, three baths, and a loft overlooking the living area, offering additional space. Encircling the residence is a sizable deck which holds the potential to become a grand outdoor living space. This land lays within the bounds of a low-density residential development zone, per county record, so this is a rare opportunity to develop much needed housing in Knox County. Residential development is possible, with essential utilities available roadside and the demand for new homes in East Tennessee ever increasing. Please reach out to broker for demographics, location details, and nearby roadways if interested. This extraordinary property awaits your vision and is available to be viewed by appointment only, with interested parties required to be accompanied by a broker or agent. Join us at Red Bud, where the possibility of privacy, development, and natural beauty converge into an opportunity like no other.
