Chimney Rock in Jamestown, Tennessee
Chances are you will never find a more uniquely picturesque place than the 1,000 acre Chimney Rock Farm. Located on the Tennessee & Kentucky border, about 100 miles northwest of Knoxville, and closest to Jamestown, Tennessee, this farm is the quintessential archetype of elegant country living. The owner’s residence is a classic two-story 8,354 square foot home, a period reproduction of a plantation house from circa 1835. There’s also a guest house, the quintessential farm house, and an historic log cabin, still in livable condition, and thought to be the oldest continuously occupied log cabin in all of Kentucky. Ready for some true heritage? That cabin is believed to be the ancestral home of President Harry Truman, and Mark Twain’s parents were known to stay at the very same cabin!
This property is largely level and richly fertile bottomland (including 150 acres of pasture) which would be ideal for sustainable farming and hardwood forestry. In fact, the property offers some of the best mountain hardwood forests in the entire region! A creek wanders through the property, fed by year-round springs, adding to its unique biological and geological diversity. A large stocked pond sits before the owner’s home, which rests in the shelter of the landmark Chimney Rock. This is truly one of the choicest farms for sale in the region.
If this weren’t enough, (and one look at the place will find you in awe of the natural beauty of this pristine land,) the property shares a common property line with the Pickett State Forest, which joins the Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area and the Daniel Boone National Forest. Together, they encompasses nearly 900,000 acres of contiguous public lands on the Cumberland Plateau in both Kentucky and Tennessee. This national recreation area provides miles of scenic gorges and sandstone bluffs as it protects the free-flowing Big South Fork of the Cumberland River and its tributaries. Rich in natural and historic features, residents and visitors enjoy a vast range of outdoor activities, including hunting, bass, trout and walleye fishing, horseback riding, camping, boating, rafting, canoing, hiking, and bicycling. You’ll share this splendid natural wonder with bald eagles, deer, elk, wild turkeys bobcats, and a host of other creatures!
Between the incomparable beauty, the features and landmarks , the privacy and the convenient access, this Chimney Rock Tennessee farm offers an incomparable value and an outstanding opportunity to create a Legacy farm!
