1 Highland Rd

Historic 43.79 acre Sumner County tract on the market for the 1st time. This exceptional property features sweeping views, multiple potential build sites, & Absher Branch flowing throughout the valley. With ~2,648 ft of paved frontage split between Highland Road & Absher Branch Road, access & further subdividing for a family compound are no problem. A network of old logging roads connect the hilltops to the creek bottom, giving you a trail system that just needs a little improving. It's abundant with wildlife & features clean, open, marketable hardwood timber. Power will be run from the neighboring property upon build permit approval. Wells in the area are shallow & affordable ranging from 35-90 ft deep. Sewer will be septic. USDA soil maps show more than 80 inches of depth to bedrock; not a guarantee of septic permit approval, but a great indicator. The Hobdy family cemetery & access reservation add to the property's significance & charm. After serving in the Revolutionary War, the Hobdys moved west from Virginia & were pivotal in settling modern day Sumner County. Tax appraisal is $558,000, but annual property taxes were only $329.67 last year thanks to the property's greenbelt enrollment. No HOA. It's zoned Rural Residential, giving you flexibility in use while preserving the area's low-density, country feel. 39 miles from Nashville | 27 miles to Hendersonville | 18 miles to Gallatin | 14 minutes to Portland & Westmoreland | North Sumner Elementary: 6 minute drive. Property corners are marked with 2 strands of pink flagging tape.
