Ten Tennessee tracts with a waterfall named in the listing, from 100 to 391 acres and $295K to $5.6M, eight of them under $3M. Five carry all four features: waterfall, creeks, open meadow and forest. The new finds are in Wayne, Lawrence, Clay, Fentress and Jackson counties; the rest are the strongest tracts from the earlier search, re-verified today.

About 285 acres in the Dog Creek and Little 48 Creek drainage of eastern Wayne County, a cattle farm the listing says has not been offered in more than 100 years. Dog Creek, several springs, waterfalls, year-round Little 48 Creek, a stocked pond and natural caves sit among rolling hills, mature hardwood, open pasture and ridges with several view homesites. Fenced with livestock water in every pasture, a trail system for horses, hiking and ATVs, and a brick home with a wraparound porch; utilities and road frontage are not described.

Why it made the listWaterfalls, caves, year-round Dog Creek, fenced pasture and hardwood ridges with a house on 285 acres; the broker page and exact location still need confirming.

About 2,500 feet of county road frontage, electric at an RV site, phone and fiber available, old well not functional (listing says well to be drilled), Greenbelt enrolled; the interior needs a 4WD or side-by-side and showings require proof of funds four days ahead.

Bluff-rim tract of 99.7 acres of old oak timber southwest of Altamont, with over a mile of bluff line and spring-fed creeks, waterfalls, caves and rock houses below it. No pasture or dwelling; electricity runs to 5 boxes with power and fiber underground. Five price cuts since $850K make it a negotiation target.

Wooded 168.79-acre tract in southern Jackson County along Spring Creek, a State Scenic River, with a waterfall and springs throughout, sold as hunting and recreation land. The listing states 168.97 acres are under a TennGreen conservation easement, so essentially the whole tract is restricted; the earlier 174.68-acre version with 5.88 unrestricted acres, an orchard, a shed and a build site is no longer offered. No utilities, improvements or road frontage are described; Jackson County taxes about $884 a year.

Why it made the listCheapest waterfall-and-springs land found at $1,750 an acre on Spring Creek, but nearly all of it sits under a conservation easement; building is doubtful.

  • Price cut from $389,900 to $295,000 after the 5.88 unrestricted acres dropped out of the listing; ask whether any building site remains
  • Acreage and price still conflict across older copies (174.68 ac at $389,900; 174.85 ac at $425,000)
