From mountain acreage to lakefront building sites, I help buyers and sellers navigate the unique challenges of land transactions in East Tennessee.
Land purchases involve considerations that don't apply to residential sales — access, utilities, zoning, timber rights, flood plains, perc tests, and more. Having an agent with land experience can save you from costly surprises.
I've helped buyers purchase everything from small residential building lots to multi-acre farm and timber properties throughout Knoxville, Sevier County, Anderson County, and beyond. I know the right questions to ask — and who to call when additional expertise is needed.
Lot within a neighborhood or subdivision, already served by utilities. Perfect for buyers who want to build their custom home on their own timeline.
Larger parcels outside city limits with room for a homesite, outbuildings, gardens, or simply open space. Popular for buyers seeking privacy and room to breathe.
Properties suited for agriculture, livestock, or hobby farming. Tennessee has favorable ag exemption laws worth understanding before you buy.
Wooded acreage in the foothills or mountains — hunting, hiking, or simply owning a piece of the Great Smoky Mountain region.
Frontage on TVA lakes, rivers, and creeks throughout East Tennessee. Water access adds complexity — and value.
Tracts with development potential. Understanding zoning, road frontage, density, and utility availability is critical before making an offer.
East Tennessee's land market has been active in recent years, driven by demand from out-of-state buyers, people seeking rural retreats post-pandemic, and strong in-migration to the Knoxville area overall.
Key factors that influence land value here include:
