Offered for the first time and held in a single ownership, this rare landmark property is bordered on much of its perimeter by state-managed forest, creating exceptional privacy, protected views, and direct access to thousands of additional acres of undeveloped land. Conveniently accessed via Summer City Road, the property offers city water and electric power availability, along with an established network of interior roads. The diverse terrain features elevations ranging from approximately 1,460 feet in the wooded hollows to over 2,000 feet along scenic bluff-top ridges, providing breathtaking long-range mountain views. Small creeks wind through the eastern hollows, while Henderson Creek borders adjoining state land. Managed pine stands and mature hardwood forests create outstanding wildlife habitat for deer and turkey, making this an exceptional recreational retreat for hunting, hiking, ATV riding, and outdoor enjoyment. The property's size, natural beauty, infrastructure, and proximity to Dayton, Pikeville, Chattanooga, Watts Bar Lake, and a nearby 18-hole golf course also position it as a premier development opportunity for mountain-view estates, recreational communities, or residential homesites. Large, contiguous tracts of this caliber rarely become available. Whether you're seeking a private mountain retreat, timber investment, recreational paradise, legacy property, or future development project, the Summer City Road Tract offers unmatched scale, seclusion, and potential in the heart of East Tennessee.
