Bordered on one side by the serene river, the back by a protected Knox County park, and the remaining edges by a quiet, well-maintained gravel road, this property offers true privacy and immersive natural beauty. The land is a harmonious mix of mature woods, rolling hills, open meadows, and babbling creeks—ideal for nature lovers, artists, or anyone seeking solitude.
