The Land

Four things set this property apart from other land on the market in the Blue Ridge corridor.

Water 2,100 Feet

2,100 continuous feet of direct frontage along the Ocoee River corridor, all on one boundary. This is the same river system that hosted the 1996 Olympic whitewater events. Frontage of this length on a parcel this size rarely comes up for sale in this part of the mountains.

Infrastructure ~$1M Built

16–20 foot wide gravel roads with ditching and riprap run throughout the property. They were built about 20 years ago and have never needed regrading. Road construction is usually the largest single cost in a rural subdivision, and here it is already done. For a single owner, every part of the 83 acres is drivable today.

Location Blue Ridge Corridor

Copperhill, Tennessee, on the TN/GA state line. 15 minutes to downtown Blue Ridge with its restaurants, shops, and the Scenic Railway. 20 minutes to Ocoee River rafting, 90 minutes to Chattanooga, and under two hours to Atlanta.

Tax Advantage 0% Income Tax

Tennessee has no state income tax. Buyers relocating from Georgia, California, New York, or any other income-tax state keep that difference on every dollar they earn, every year.

What This Land Can Become

The property was previously planned as a boutique mountain resort called Ocoee Preserve, with a main lodge, hillside residences, and a river boathouse. The project was set aside when the hospitality market shifted, and the land has been held since. The renders below show what the terrain, river access, and existing roads can support.
