368 Roe Carter Rd $295,000

This 26.5-acre tract is great combination of homestead and wooded paradise and just needs some TLC to turn it into a dream property. Located off Roe Carter Road approximately 6 miles outside Oakdale, TN in Morgan County, this property is approximately 30 minutes from Wartburg, 45 minutes from Oak Ridge, and 75 minutes from Knoxville. This location is desirable due to its proximity to the Emory River (5 minutes), Obed Wild and Scenic River National Park, Big South Fork National Recreational Area, and the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area. Roe Carter Road splits the property down its width with the north side (homestead) being slightly larger of the 2 halves. You can pull right onto the north side of the property with an existing driveway that leads through overgrown previous pasture to an existing homesite consisting of a single wide trailer, various sheds, an old school bus and old recreational vehicle. The topography of the north side is flat to gentle sloping along the northern boundary and is highly overgrown with tall grasses, bushes and small trees and needs a good bus hogging to open it up. More homestead land could be developed on the north side of the property with clearing. A small stream (possibly spring fed) is located along the east side of the north side of the property and ultimately feeds into Mill Creek. The south side of the property is a fully wooded paradise (e.g., hemlocks, hardwoods, rhododendron, ferns, etc.) with Mill Creek running through it. A large gentle sloping finger allows you to walk (or drive with some clearing) down to Mill Creek. There are large flat areas around Mill Creek with intermittent bluffs along Mill Creek with dripping water, etc. A small portion of the property extends the wooded paradise south of Mill Creek and consists of more bluffs and pristine woods.
