    What's special

    The +/- 54 Acre Big Bottom Farm is well-known in White and Van Buren Counties for its location on and fronting the scenic headwaters of the Caney Fork River. The shoals lying just upriver from the confluence with Cane Creek are reported to be the high-water mark for the downstream flood control reservoir. Cane Creek is a primary creek feeding north and off the Cumberland Plateau to the valley from the 30,000 acre Fall Creek Falls Tennessee State Park located about 20-miles to the south near Spencer. Big Bottom was referred to by local farmers and timbermen as the area east of the river ford which is comprised of modest sized open fertile fields, large limestone boulders, and flood plain at this valley forming water off the plateau to the east and south. The oldest of the Tennessee Valley Authority hydroelectric and water control dams (constructed 1915) is downstream about seventeen miles west and is known as Great Falls Dam, Rock Island, Tennessee. The free-flowing Caney Fork River forms east of the Big Bottom farm shoals from several creeks to the west, including Bee Creek, which drain and originate on and off the plateau. Many of these creeks form in the State of Tennessee’s 10,000-acre Bridgestone/Firestone Centennial Wilderness area. This remote yet accessible property makes the Big Bottom Farm unique. The most famous sites in the state’s wilderness area are Scotts Gulf and Lost Creek, which are heavily forested with native hardwoods. This immediate area is one of the most beautiful, pristine, yet assessable wild places left in Tennessee. Because of its lack of human development activity, it is attractive to a variety of wildlife, spelunkers, hunters, and hikers. This area is a vast unspoiled wilderness owned by the state and covers an area between Cumberland, White and Van Buren Counties in Tennessee. There is a pavilion constructed down by the river's edge. No soil work completed on the site but the higher elevation would make an incredible homesite location.
