Property Description
For the first time since its founding in 1777, Elmwood Farm, a portion of the Earnest Farms Historic District, is being offered to the public. One of the most significant agricultural and investment properties to come available in East Tennessee in decades, Elmwood Farm features 530 +/- contiguous acres of fertile farmland with more than a mile of frontage along the Nolichucky River. This prominent Pioneer Century Farm is well known by Tennessee farmers and historians for its scale, history, and exceptional productivity. The land is defined by its extraordinary usability for East Tennessee. Approximately 92% of the acreage is tillable, supporting tomato production, corn, soybeans, and hay. The flat, open stretches along the river lend themselves to a wide range of agricultural uses. Nearly the entire tract is fully functional for farming and development. Remnants of old dairies and barns remain on the property, but the value lies in the land, with long stretches of cropland and incredible potential. The farm also offers remarkable versatility. With nearly one mile of frontage on both sides of Chuckey Pike, almost half a mile along Sand Bar Road, and more than half a mile on Massengill Way, it is easily accessed and well connected to local infrastructure in one of Tennessee's most scenic areas. A short drive to Interstates 26 and 40 places this property within reach of the Tri-Cities, Knoxville, Asheville, and major Southeastern metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC, Richmond, VA, Nashville, TN, and Birmingham, AL. This fantastic location makes it equally suited for production farming, a family legacy compound, or thoughtful residential development. Its heritage is especially meaningful as a Pioneer Century Farm. Founded before Tennessee was admitted to the Union, Elmwood Farm has the ability to connect future use to a lineage of East Tennessee's agricultural tradition and pioneer spirit. The property's size, river frontage, and unusually high percentage of productive ground make it attractive not only to local farming operations but also to investors and institutions seeking scale, appreciation potential, and immediate usability. This is not simply a large tract of farmland but a landmark property with productivity, accessibility, and history rarely found on the open market. For those seeking a distinguished holding with both immediate utility and long-term potential, it represents one of the finest opportunities available in the Southeast today.
