46± Acres, Zoned RP-3, Development-Ready, Homestead Potential, Mountain Views
Rare opportunity to own 46± acres inside Johnson City city limits -- where panoramic mountain views, rich natural features, and significant development groundwork converge on a single property. Whether you're a developer ready to build or a buyer dreaming of a private mountain homestead, this land delivers both the infrastructure and the character.
Approximately 30 acres of open, gently rolling farmland - previously used for hay production - sits ready for development or agricultural use. The remaining 16± acres rise into two wooded mountain ridges with a dirt road accessing the high ground, where breathtaking panoramic views of Buffalo Mountain and Holston Mountain await. Old-growth black walnut, oak, and tulip poplar blanket the back of the property - the timber alone carries significant value and would be worth a professional assessment prior to any land clearing. White-tail deer and wild turkey frequent the land regularly, making the upper acreage a serious hunting retreat minutes from city amenities.
A barn with original-character wood framing sits on the property - likely a teardown, but the salvageable timber is exceptional quality and potentially quite valuable. A functioning spring house of similar vintage features stone stairs descending to a still-flowing spring - a rare, working piece of Appalachian history.
This property is rezoned RP-3 (Planned Residential District), allowing a minimum lot size of 4,000 sqft and up to 8.5 units per acre across the buildable acreage. Preliminary work already completed includes:
- City water and electric available at Watauga Road
- City sewer runs through the property (following the stream corridor)
- 100 feet of road frontage on Watauga Road
- Recent survey completed
- Rough Grading Permit issued (City of Johnson City)
- Construction General Permit issued (TDEC)
- Approved Hydraulic Determination of Water Resources (TDEC)
- Stream study and traffic study both completed
- Engineered site plans available - may be conveyed to a buyer wishing to continue the existing concept
Five minutes to Johnson City Country Club. Ten minutes to Ballad Health medical facilities, VA Medical Center, downtown Johnson City dining, and shopping. The property sits on the east side of Johnson City with easy access to the Tri-Cities corridor - yet feels a world away once you're on the land.
Engineered site plans and concept development documents available upon request. Utility easement present for powerlines traversing property. Road access to upper mountain acreage backs to Washington County Utility District property. Recommend downloading a hunting app like OnX or LandID to walk property as not all boundaries are marked.
