- Multiple perennial clover fields, warm and cool season food plots, and rotational annuals
The property offers consistent hunting success, with several mature bucks harvested in recent years. Turkey, dove, squirrel, rabbit, and coyote populations are strong, and the property's layout supports archery, rifle, and muzzleloader hunters across all Tennessee seasons.
Cabin and Outbuildings
The newly constructed log-sided cabin is included in the sale and features:

- The dishwasher, range, plumbing fixtures, electrical system, and HVAC have already been purchased and included
The cabin is framed, roofed, and dried in, with active finishing being done by the owner. Many custom details and upgrades are already complete or planned, and materials for interior finish-out have been paid for and are on site.
A 30-by-50-foot wood barn with a loft provides ample room for all equipment, tools, and storage. It currently holds a tractor, UTVs, ATVs, sprayers, and building materials. Several fruit trees, including apple, cherry, peach, and pear, are established near the cabin site.
Water and Utilities
The property lives up to its name with four springs and extensive water resources, including:
- Buck Hollow Creek, a spring-fed stream flowing year-round through the interior of the property
- Two ponds, one of which could be developed into a trophy bluegill lake

Access, Use Potential, and Expansion
A recorded, ironclad easement provides both legal and physical access with strong privacy protection. The property qualifies for Greenbelt tax benefits (2024 taxes were $411 per year), and all mineral, timber, and natural resource rights are conveyed. The best building site on the property has been intentionally preserved for a primary residence or future homesite. Multiple home options for family or guests can be added without affecting Greenbelt eligibility.
With the potential to acquire additional acreage, buyers can nearly double the property's size without doubling the cost. This presents a unique opportunity to expand their investment footprint in this highly desirable location, promising long-term value and potential growth.

This property offers a unique opportunity to own a fully developed, highly improved recreational and agricultural property in the heart of Tennessee's most sought-after region.
