Property Description

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own slice of Heaven? WAKE UP!!! This is it. Welcome to your very own rock quarry. This 9.4 acre tract is zoned Agricultural and with proper zoning would make a very cool home place or even a neat venue. Imagine building a home where you awaken each day looking at this stunning scenery. Or using up-lighting for nighttime view of the incredible rock formations. Electric on site. KUB water at the street and sewer available close by. A fresh water spring runs down one side of the massive rock wall. The spring feeds the lake and a cold plunge tub. Per the seller it's about 52* when it comes off of the rock face. It's a lovely hike up to the crest with outstanding views being your reward for your efforts. Per seller the property has a fence around it to keep people out of the water. The lake has fish in it. During the Summer, the water levels are up and the water becomes crystal clear. The ownership is steeped in local history, but the property is not of historical significance. The second owner of record, in 1888, was Alex Biagiotti, an immigrant from Italy who had been a bond slave who worked for the local, very well known McClung family. He worked with Cal Johnson, another Knoxville notable, after they were emancipated. He helped relocate soldiers from their shallow graves on the battlefield to the National Cemetery. Alex purchased the plot of land from Edward and Matilda Legg. It's not clear when it became a rock quarry.
