6835 Mulberry Gap Rd

Sneedville, TN 37869

LOOKING FOR 100 ACRES? Well, this one is a tad smaller but feels like more, and is likely the most exciting 91.5 acres you'll ever find. Located in the especially beautiful valley of Mulberry Gap, it is set conveniently between the little town of Sneedville, and the larger town of Tazewell. This older farm land is still intact with beautiful fields, amazing vistas, and, the original old barns and out buildings are still standing. Oh they do need attention, but they are quaint and still usable. A most magnificent broad and winding creek runs throughout the property and right there in the area where the old buildings stand. It is constantly running and rambling through and between the fields and beautiful woods. A stream coming out from the spring up in the mountain leads to the creek. Among the buildings is what remains of an original concrete block home from the 50's. You can see by its elevation that it was once a lovely & substantial building. It will take talent and love to bring it back, but it might be possible. The exterior seems to be solid enough, but inside there was a collapse of the ceiling from a fallen tree which happen at a time when it was not occupied or noticed. I do not dare yet to go inside and neither should you. It is not safe. However, you may be able to peek through the windows and from the concrete porch to see what potential this home may still offer. Aside from this building, the owners built a nice-sized building just above the creek. From there you will enjoy the creek and great views of the fields and your hills and the mountain beyond. This building is a simple structure, but very comfortable, with a large great-room, a small side room and a storage area. It is truly a very pleasant place with electricity. Adding free-standing heat sources, offers a delightful place to shelter while you go about conforming the property to your liking. Whether you add to the building, restore the old block house, or build your own wonderful magnificent home, you'll find you have complete privacy in this property. Additionally, there are many fabulous options for additional housing, and all your plans. The property is well suited to raising livestock, having horses, planting gardens, hiking, hunting, long range target shooting, and about any other purpose you might have in mind. Near the spring, 150 years ago, there was a mill that made flour to serve neighboring families. The mountain to the south on the back side of the property beyond the fields is forested and oh, so beautiful in every season. The farms on the hills and mountains within your view to the north are a patchwork of peaceable times, and a reminder too of the struggles from the past in the price that was paid with the heart and soul of the families that labored to create them. I mention this because the whole area, for miles along the valley still remains much as it was 150 years ago, when families settled the area and lived on their farms. This property is centered in a beautiful environment so rare now to find. On the northwest corner of the land you will see a trailer. It is on the property but not visible from anywhere other than the paved road. The trailer itself is privately owned by someone who leases the land to be there. It is however a beautiful, additional home site with a good sized yard that is well kept. For now, it provides a small contribution towards paying the taxes. An existing arrangement with a local farmer may be retained by making your own arrangements for keeping the hay fields with the farmer.
