Description
This 53.75-acre Ocoee River estate is more than a residence—it's a platform for creating lifestyle and income in one remarkable setting. With nearly 2,000 feet of private river frontage, your own boat launch, and zoning that includes both commercial and agricultural (greenbelt), the possibilities stretch far beyond traditional living.
At the center is a 6,750 sq. ft. ranch-style luxury home with a pool, designed for comfort, elegance, and multi-generational living. But the true distinction of this property is its ability to generate income, host events, or build businesses directly on-site:
Event & Venue Ready: A 9,000 sq ft multi-use venue building with amphitheater, backup generator, six bathrooms, and sweeping glass bay doors—ideal for weddings, retreats, conferences, or entertainment.
Business Infrastructure: Four-bay shop with bunk room, laundry, and full bath; equipment barn; pole barn; and multiple flex-use structures to support commercial ventures or outdoor recreation enterprises.
Multi-Generational Living: With expansive square footage and diverse buildings, the estate adapts perfectly for extended family living, guest accommodations, or rental income.
Adventure & Recreation: From direct river access to nearby lakes, whitewater rafting, and the vast Cherokee National Forest, this property sits at the heart of the Southeast's outdoor lifestyle economy.
The gated entrance ensures privacy, while the zoning, layout, and acreage offer an almost limitless set of opportunities. Whether your vision is luxury family compound, thriving event venue, agricultural business, or outdoor adventure hub, this estate is a canvas waiting to be shaped.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you and your children were not born here,or went to school with the schools staff, they will experience PREJUDICE DISCRIMINATION FAVORITISM stay away from B. E. S. and the people who run it. Most of the teachers are great and do their best given what they have to work with. Watchout for the principal and school board they will always side with their home town people.Parent Review10y ago - Chilhowee Middle School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagestudent---this school is wonderful it may not be the best looking or smartest but what school is does any school honestly make the cut for perfect.... uh no their is always some one that is going to hate it but the teachers take their time with the students and have their best interest at heart especially Mrs.Owmby and i would know because i had her for my 7th grade year and she is not a bully she is trying to get these kids to actually participate and learn in her class room because honestly most of the kids their i dont know what their parents are teaching them......that its ok to cuss, fight, or fail because you dont want to do the work that the class requires so maybe its not the staff maybe it the children.Other Review11y ago - Polk County High School
