Property Description

Here is a rare opportunity to own a large-acreage tract within the gates of Fredonia Mountain Nature Resort (FMNR). FMNR is a 3,500 acre gated-community atop the Cumberland Plateau designed with features intended to connect people with nature such as hiking/biking trails, parks, lakes, ponds and a community lodge. This 104.27 acre tract has been specifically set aside by the current owner from its continued development and declared as ''conserved land'' to retain its considerable natural and scenic values but with substantial retained rights for its perpetual use. The tract has therefore been exempted from the FMNR home owners' association (''HOA''). Restrictive Covenants ensuring the conservation values of the tract are recorded in a Conservation Easement (''CE'') administered by The Foothills Land Conservancy. Certain provisions of the CE do, however, allow for the installation of improvements such as roads, residences, outbuildings and ancillary improvements. Other notable allowances include: Hunting, Wildlife Management, Leasing, Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry Management, Public Access. Views extend from the nearly one-mile brow at approx 1650 ft elevation into the Sequatchie Valley below. Woodland habitats flourish under the deciduous Oak / Hickory Forest canopy. The Stillhouse Creek hollow has tumbling water falls, glistening pools and moss-covered stones and native species such as rhododendron, hemlock, mountain laurel and native azalea. Springtime wildflowers abound with may apple, trillium and lady slippers. Wildlife common to the area is found here including deer, turkey, opossum, raccoon, bob cat and many varieties of local and migrating birds. The point of access to the tract is from Bluff View Drive, near FMNR Landmark ''Mother's Bridge''. The designated 1 acre home site is in a fixed location along the brow (with valley views into the Sequatchie Valley) near Bluff View Drive for convenience of construction and installation of utilities. Under the current CE, there are no minimum square footage requirements or architectural control elements regarding the construction of a future residence. If a future owner were to voluntarily choose to join the FMNR HOA it would come with those certain privileges and obligations the HOA affords. The local water utility notifies of a 'temporary pause' on approving water taps due to a repair project with anticipated completion Sept 2026. This tract is appealing to those who value superior land features especially when held in the useful-continuity of a large acreage tract. Further, the perpetual nature of the conservation easement assures its value-continuity as a legacy piece to future generations.
