1131 South - Clemmons Creek

Discover an exceptional opportunity to own ±1,124 acres of diverse timberland and recreational property located along Retro Hughes Road, just west of Sale Creek, Tennessee. Offering substantial timber resources, extensive road frontage, water features, mountain views, and direct proximity to protected recreational lands, this property represents a rare large-acreage offering in Southeast Tennessee. The property encompasses the headwaters of Clemmons Creek, with numerous drainages and natural water features originating within the tract. One of its most distinctive characteristics is its setting—Rock Creek Recreation Area surrounds the property on three sides, creating a remarkable sense of privacy and providing an expansive natural backdrop. This location makes the property particularly attractive for buyers seeking a private recreational retreat, hunting property, long-term timber investment, or a combination of these uses. Timber resources are diverse and well distributed throughout the property. The tract contains multiple age classes of planted pine ranging from approximately 10 to 50 years old, providing both near-term and long-term timber management opportunities. These pine stands are complemented by areas of natural hardwood timber, particularly along slopes, drainages, and other portions of the property. The variety of timber types and age classes creates excellent habitat diversity while providing an opportunity for ongoing forest management and future timber income. An established internal road system provides access throughout much of the acreage for timber management, hunting, recreation, and property maintenance. The tract also offers more than one mile of frontage along Retro Hughes Road, providing exceptional access for a property of this size and potentially creating opportunities for subdivision and immediate return on your investment. The property's varied terrain includes impressive bluffs and elevated areas offering long-range views of the surrounding Tennessee landscape. Combined with the creek headwaters, mature hardwoods, planted pine stands, and adjoining recreational lands, the property offers outstanding habitat for deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. With ±1,124 contiguous acres, extensive road frontage, a diverse timber resource, internal access, water, bluff views, and Rock Creek Recreation Area bordering three sides, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a significant timber and recreational holding in the Sale Creek area. Whether managed primarily for timber production, wildlife and recreation, a private family retreat, or as a long-term land investment, this property offers the scale, natural resources, access, and location that are increasingly difficult to find in Southeast Tennessee.
