Green River Retreat is a 23-acre property located in Wayne County, Tennessee, just outside Waynesboro. Suited for use as a farm, hunting land, residential site, recreational land, or a riverfront retreat, this tract offers a rare combination of open ground, mature timber, and water frontage. Buyers searching for a versatile rural property with established infrastructure and immediate usability should give this tract serious consideration.
Location
Situated in Wayne County, Tennessee, the property sits approximately 6 miles from Waynesboro and 21 miles from Linden, with Nashville roughly an hour and a half away. The tract is also near the new Buffalo River State Park, which is currently being established. The location balances rural seclusion with reasonable proximity to small-town amenities and a major metropolitan area.
Access
The property has frontage on both sides of Phillips Chapel Road, a paved county road, with approximately 2,000 feet of total road frontage. Internal access is supported by a combination of gravel and paved roads on the property.
Topography
The land features clay and other soil types and is largely open pasture with surrounding wooded areas. The terrain supports both agricultural and recreational uses, with no fencing currently noted on the tract.
Improvements
The property is sold without existing structures, giving buyers a blank slate to design and build according to their specific vision. With approximately 16 acres of pasture and power already in place, owners have considerable flexibility in selecting an ideal home site, barn location, or recreational setup without the constraints of pre-existing buildings.
Timber
The tract features beautiful hardwood timber surrounding the pastures and river, with vegetation that includes grassed areas, crops, and wooded sections. Hardwood stands of this quality add long-term value, provide natural cover for wildlife, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the property.
Wildlife and Recreation
This tract is home to whitetail deer, turkey, dove, ducks, and small game, and would also make an excellent dove field. With strong recreational potential for fishing and hunting, the property offers outdoor enthusiasts a well-rounded setting for both recreation and quietly enjoying the land.
Water Features
The property includes approximately 1,500 feet of frontage on the Green River, providing direct riverfront access for fishing, paddling, and other water sports. River frontage of this length is uncommon and adds significant recreational and resale value to the tract.
Current and Potential Use
The property is currently used as pasture, but offers a wide range of potential uses, including agricultural, development, farm, equestrian, hunting, investment, livestock, ranch, recreational, and residential. This flexibility allows buyers to tailor the land to their goals, whether that means running livestock, building a private residence, establishing a hunting retreat, or holding the property as a long-term investment.
Summary
Green River Retreat is a 23-acre Wayne County, Tennessee property offering paved road frontage, approximately 16 acres of pasture, mature hardwood timber, and roughly 1,500 feet of frontage on the Green River, with power already in place. The blend of open land, water frontage, and proximity to Waynesboro and Nashville make it a strong possibility for farming, hunting, recreation, or building a private home.
