Discover an extraordinary investment opportunity at Mars Sand Mountain, a vast 1,976-acre property in Campbell County, TN, featuring some of the highest-grade Silica Sand reserves in the country. Conveniently located just 7 miles from I-75 and 5 miles from a rail siding, the sand production portion of the property is well positioned to serve an available and growing market for the material. Mars Sand Mountain boasts an estimated 75-150 million tons of premium silica sandstone, with the current market price at $96 per ton, offering a potential profit of up to $15.3 billion. Despite the abundance of natural resources and active operations of surrounding properties, there are currently no active sand operations on the property, making it a unique and lucrative opportunity for buyers. In addition to its industrial potential, the property also offers diverse recreational opportunities. The landscape features blue-line creeks, stunning rock outcroppings, and an internal road system with trails. The property is rich in wildlife, including big game such as deer, turkey, bear, and elk, as well as upland birds, and currently generates income through a hunting lease. Mars Sand Mountain stands out as a prime location for both industrial development and outdoor recreation, making it a versatile and highly valuable asset. This tract is a child listing to 15,491 acres and offered as other options of—8,128 acres, 4,115 acres, and 1,272 acres. More information is available on the property specifics with a non-disclosure agreement and proof of funds. Showing appointment is required with the listing agents and a private tour can be arranged on a side-by-side.
