What's Special About This Property?
Positioned where Tennessee meets Virginia, this 17-acre dual-parcel property offers a rare mix of buildable land and recreational ridge country. The 7-acre Tennessee tract fronts Fisher Valley Rd, providing direct county-maintained gravel access. A cleared, level homesite lies ready in the southeast corner, while hillside ground wraps around it. With no zoning in Hancock County, options for single-family, stick-built, mobile, manufactured, cabin, or tiny homes are wide open. RV and camping use is allowed, and permits are straightforward through the local mayor's office.
Heading into Virginia, the 10-acre Scott County parcel adds a rugged extension of wooded, sloping terrain perfect for hunting, hiking, or off-grid recreation. Though landlocked from public roads, it adjoins the TN parcel, making it reachable without easement issues. Scott County zoning (Ar) allows homes, mobiles, and cabins, with RV use permitted under specific anchoring and movement rules. Hunting is unrestricted.
Power runs along Fisher Valley Rd via Powell Valley Electric, while private well and septic would be needed on either lot. Neither tract lies in a Fema flood zone.
This property puts you just ~5 miles from Kyles Ford, ~35 miles from Kingsport, and close to mountain rivers, hiking routes, and scenic byways-while holding ground in two Appalachian states at once.
Highlights
Two States, One Property: Own land in both Tennessee and Virginia in a single purchase-ideal for anyone intrigued by a rare cross-border holding.
Natural Resources: Mixed hardwoods, hillside slopes, and flat areas provide wildlife habitat and natural privacy. Deer, turkey, and small game are common in this region.
Flexible Living Options: Tennessee side is best suited for residential use, while the Virginia side adds space for recreation, trails, and hunting-a clear division of use across parcels.
Recreation-Friendly: Both counties allow camping and RVs, with Tennessee offering near-total freedom and Virginia offering defined, manageable guidelines, but with total freedom for hunting.
Accessible Yet Private: Road frontage only on the TN side ensures privacy and minimal through-traffic while still giving reliable entry.
