Property Description
Approximately 300 acres of open pasture form the heart of the farm, historically managed for cattle production and wildlife habitat. While portions of the pasture would benefit from restoration, the foundation is firmly in place--fenced and cross-fenced, with gravity-fed spring water supplying livestock and wildlife year-round. A well-established internal road and trail system allows efficient access across the property for ranch operations, land management, and hunting.
Water is a defining feature of The Fields at Fall Creek. Five named creeks--Pond Creek, Lamb Creek, Clark Branch, Johnson Branch, and Austin Branch--originate along the bluff and flow through the property, creating strong riparian corridors and reliable water sources. A half-acre pond, currently holding substantial water and attracting migrating waterfowl, offers both aesthetic and recreational value, with the potential for future expansion.
The property is widely recognized as a premier Tennessee hunting property, supporting healthy populations of whitetail deer, turkey, dove, and small game. A long-established dove field has a proven history of consistent hunts. Additional income potential exists through hunting leases, timber management, mineral rights, and expanded cattle operations. Historically regarded as one of the most well-maintained and visually striking farms in the region, the land showcases exceptional soils, grasses, and vegetation. With thoughtful management and renewed investment, the property can be restored to and exceed its former prominence. Previous ownership implemented extensive land stewardship efforts, including the planting of over 44,000 trees, such as walnut, white oak, swamp oak, pine, and fruit-bearing trees and shrubs. The bluff-top area known locally as Yellow Cliff has even been leased in the past for hang gliding, highlighting the property's diverse recreational appeal.
The property is improved with a 4,500-square-foot residence well suited for a family estate, corporate retreat, or hunting lodge. The home is serviced by both spring water and city water and is positioned to overlook pastureland, gardens, an orchard, and nearby barns. A pole barn provides substantial hay and equipment storage, while the over-100-year-old red barn stands as a historic focal point of the farm, framed by dramatic rock bluffs and sweeping views.
An additional brick home located near the entrance offers ideal accommodations for guests, extended family, or on-site management, providing privacy while remaining connected to the core of the property.
Situated within an Opportunity Zone, The Fields at Fall Creek presents compelling residential, agricultural, or commercial development potential. The property boasts extensive road frontage along Old State Highway 28, Highway 127, Sutherland Road, Blue Sewanee Road, and Pope Road, with utilities including water, power, gas, and cable available along much of the frontage. Eight water taps are already installed. Elevated bluff-top building sites near 1,800 feet in elevation offer panoramic views of the Sequatchie Valley.
Conveniently located approximately five miles north of Dunlap, the property provides easy access to Highway 111 and is just 40 minutes from Chattanooga, balancing privacy with accessibility. Buyers are to verify all existing and potential utilities.
The Fields at Fall Creek is a legacy-scale Tennessee land offering combining water, pasture, timber, infrastructure, views, and multiple income streams. Properties of this size, quality, and versatility on the Cumberland Plateau and Sequatchie Valley are increasingly rare and difficult to replicate. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a landmark holding in one of Tennessee's most scenic and productive regions.
