Description

Escape to a one-of-a-kind Tennessee retreat perfectly suited for the outdoor enthusiast. This remarkable property offers an unmatched combination of riverfrontage, mountain views, abundant wildlife, and complete privacy—all within easy driving distance of Nashville and major amenities.

Boasting approximately 2,500 feet of frontage on the world-famous Caney Fork River, this land provides direct access to some of the best trout fishing in the Southeast. Whether you prefer to wade, float, or drift by kayak or canoe, this stretch of river is known for producing trophy-sized brown, rainbow, and brook trout, as well as a variety of other native fish species. The calm bends and scenic rapids create the ideal setting for fishing, paddling, or simply relaxing along the water’s edge. Whether you're trout fishing for the first time or on the never-ending search for the big one, you’re in luck. The cool, oxygenated waters of the Caney Fork River are chock-full of brown, brook, and rainbow trout, just waiting on you. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) stocks the Caney Fork River with over 100,000 fish yearly, making this river tops amongst anglers on a trophy hunt. Multiple boat launch/entry points are nearby, including Betty's Island and Happy Hollow.

The section from Center Hill Dam to Betty’s Island is the best area for trout fishing. It’s completely accessible by water, but only half of this area is accessible on foot. The Caney Fork River varies between 20 and 30 yards wide, and flows at different speeds and depths depending on water release from Center Hill Dam.

The property also features approximately 3,300 feet of paved road frontage and two gated entrances, offering both security and convenience. Once inside, you’ll find miles of established trail systems that provide easy access throughout the rolling terrain—perfect for riding ATVs, horseback adventures, or simply exploring your own private wilderness. The land is heavily wooded with above-average mature timber, adding natural beauty and long-term value.

Wildlife thrives here, with the area loaded with trophy whitetail deer, turkey, and small game. Whether you’re setting up trail cameras, planting food plots, or sitting quietly in a stand, this property offers endless hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.

A well-maintained 2002 double-wide mobile home is a comfortable and inviting basecamp, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It’s in excellent condition, offering all the comforts of home while surrounded by nature. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the screened-in front porch overlooking the woods or cozy evenings after a day spent fishing and exploring. It has a double carport as well as a small shop with a lean-to roof for a tractor. ( Tractor, fishing boat, 4-wheeler, and Jeep can be purchased separately. )

Adding to the property’s uniqueness is a large Cave that is on the property. If you're brave enough, you can explore and camp in it! It's a fascinating natural feature that gives a glimpse into the area's geological history and provides a great spot for exploration or photography.

Located in a highly desirable part of Middle Tennessee, this property is only 60 miles from Nashville and 53 miles from Nashville International Airport (BNA)—making it easily accessible yet wonderfully secluded. Outdoor destinations like Center Hill Lake and Edgar Evins State Park are nearby, offering additional boating, hiking, and camping opportunities.

Whether you’re looking for a private hunting and fishing getaway, a family retreat, or a long-term investment in Tennessee land, this property checks every box. With its combination of river frontage, mature timber, wildlife, and scenic beauty, it represents a rare chance to own a true multi-use recreational property in a stunning natural setting.

Float, fish, hunt, explore, and unwind—all from your very own Caney Fork River sanctuary.
