A Stocked Pond of Your Own, on 11 Surveyed Acres
$259,900
In Greene County, in Tennessee's northeastern foothills — 11.26 surveyed acres of homestead land, with a stocked pond right off the porch.
A 2022-built A-frame cabin already sits finished at the water's edge — exposed wood beams, a tongue-and-groove ceiling, a black farmhouse sink, and a loft bedroom reached by ladder. Step outside and the pond takes over, stocked with crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill, with a fire pit right at the bank for evenings after the sun goes down. A creek runs along the front of the property, with cleared acreage up front and woods for privacy toward the back. Any future residence here has to be site-built, at least 1,400 sq ft, which keeps this a real homestead setting rather than a spot for a trailer. 1 bd / 1 ba, 432 sq ft, built 2022, on 11.26 surveyed acres.

Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
The pond is the real draw here — already stocked with crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill, and big enough to fish from the bank without a boat. A creek along the front of the property adds a second water feature, though buyers should confirm the cabin's own water source and well capacity before counting on it long-term.
Crop & Income Potential
This isn't farmland — the cleared acreage up front is more meadow than field, with woods taking over toward the back for privacy. Greene County's agricultural base leans toward beef cattle and hay across these rolling foothills, so if livestock is eventually part of the plan, you'd have neighbors already doing it nearby.
Sustainability
The cabin itself is a head start, not a project — 2022 construction, a mini-split heat pump, and a metal roof mean the small footprint is already efficient. A second septic tank already exists on the property, which matters given the site-built, 1,400-square-foot-minimum rule for any additional home you'd eventually add.
The Boundaries
The acreage here is surveyed, not estimated, which is worth something on 11 wooded, creek-lined acres. Still get a current read on the creek's setback and any floodplain implications before planning where a larger home might eventually go, and confirm the existing septic's capacity and permit status before you build around it.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Greeneville is the Greene County seat and one of Tennessee's oldest towns, home to the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site — the 17th president's home, tailor shop, and burial place — and Tusculum University, the oldest college in the state.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
The University of Tennessee Extension office for Greene County offers guidance on livestock, pasture management, and pond stocking, directly relevant to a property that already comes with its own stocked pond, along with 4-H programs for the area.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
The Nolichucky River runs through the county with stretches ranging from whitewater rafting to calmer floating, and the Bald Mountains of the Cherokee National Forest rise just to the east with hiking and camping access not far from the property.
