Description

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly iconic piece of American history. This stunning riverfront farm spans a large, private acreage with approximately 2,500 feet of frontage along the picturesque Wolf River—one of the two rivers that form the renowned Dale Hollow Lake. You can still see remnants of an old community grist mill in the river. Enveloped by stunning 400–500-foot bluffs and accessible by a single entry point, this property offers unparalleled seclusion and natural protection.

The farm features approximately 3,500 feet of road frontage, with essential utilities already in place, including city water, electricity, and fiber optic internet at the road. It includes two barns and a charming riverside farmhouse, perfect as a hunting cabin, weekend retreat, or cozy guest home.

With 70 acres of open pasture spread across three distinct areas, the land is ideal for farming, livestock, or equestrian pursuits. Extensive trails left from a timber harvest weave through the property, offering miles of scenic riding trails for horses, ATVs, or hiking, situated in a world-class equestrian region that draws riders from across the country.

Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views in every direction, this property is minutes from multiple state and national parks and Dale Hollow Lake, famed for its marinas, floating restaurants, water recreation, and world-class fishing. Dale Hollow Lake is a gorgeous deep-water reservoir boasting Dale Hollow Lake. It consists of 27,700 acres of lake surface area and 24,842 acres of surrounding land, totaling 52,542 acres, and it is one of the cleanest lakes in the United States. The lake has 620 miles of shoreline. The Corps of Engineers property surrounding the lake is also open for hunting. This beautiful lake also offers world-class fishing and is the current world record smallmouth bass holder.

Located near the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, this land provides convenient access to some of the region’s best outdoor activities, including hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and kayaking. The property is located close to Pickett State Park for outdoor enthusiasts, providing access to countless trails and outdoor adventures. This property is a prime spot for horse lovers as the National and State parks and East Fork Stables offer world-class horse riding trails.

Steeped in history, this land was once owned by war hero Sgt Alvin C. York, who sold it to the current owner’s family. Prior notable owners include the Clemens family ( Mark Twain's family) and the Cordell Hull family. Sgt. Alvin C. York was an American soldier who was one of the most decorated United States Army soldiers of World War I. He received the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine gun nest. York was born in rural Tennessee, in what is now the community of Pall Mall in Fentress County. A cave on the property contains a saltpeter mine used for making gunpowder during the War of 1812.

Whether you dream of a private sanctuary, working farm, recreational paradise, or historic homestead, this extraordinary property offers unmatched beauty, history, and opportunity.
