70 Acres In Morgan County, TN

WELCOME TO THE MORGAN 70. If you’ve been looking for your own tract of land adjacent to the Emory River, Obed Scenic and Wild River, Frozen Head State Park, the Cumberland Trail, and minutes from the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, this 70± acre property in Morgan County, Tennessee is worth a look! Located approximately 10 minutes from downtown Wartburg in the gated Obed Scenic Community at the end of Cherokee Trail, the property offers a good combination of seclusion and accessibility. Power, water, and fiber internet are available at the road, making this tract worth considering for a primary residence, cabin, recreational retreat, or hunting property. A potential homesite sits along a ridge surrounded by mature hardwood timber while remaining reasonably close to the road and utilities. Being at the end of Cherokee Trail also limits through traffic and provides additional privacy. The 70± acres consist of a diverse mix of hardwood timber, pine, ridges, creek bottoms, and mountain terrain typical of the Cumberland Plateau. White oak, red oak, and hickory are some of the predominant hardwood species found across the property. As the terrain drops toward Bear Branch, mountain laurel and umbrella magnolia become more common, with white pine scattered along the hillsides and creek bottoms. One of the main features of the Morgan 70 is
the 1,700± feet of Bear Branch frontage, which flows toward the Emory River. The creek, along
with several waterfalls, rock features, hardwood ridges, and wooded bottoms, gives the property
plenty to explore. The combination of water, timber, elevation changes, and secluded terrain also
creates good habitat for East Tennessee wildlife. For buyers searching for hunting land in Tennessee, the Morgan 70 offers nice potential for both whitetail deer and wild turkey hunting. Turkey sign was observed along the roads and finger ridges, along with well-used deer trails and old buck rubs. The oak and hickory timber provides an important fall food source, while Bear Branch Creek and the wooded bottoms provide water and cover. The recreational opportunities extend well beyond the property’s boundaries. The Crooked Fork Unit of the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is only 10± minutes away, providing access to additional public hunting and outdoor recreation. The larger Catoosa WMA encompasses tens of thousands of acres of rugged Cumberland Plateau country known for deer, turkey, hiking, camping, and backcountry recreation.
