Old Asheville Hwy Tn Hwy, Newport, TN 37821
Zero Old Asheville Hwy | Newport, TN 37821-5331 -- Offered as a package: Lots 15 & 18 (total ~4.4 acres). This rare, flat tract delivers multiple, easy-build homesites with wide setbacks for a main residence, guest house, shop/garage, and generous outdoor living. Electricity and public water are available at the road (buyer to connect/verify). The showstopper is the setting: beautiful waterfront views of the French Broad River with sweeping sightlines to the Smoky Mountain range--sunrises, misty ridgelines, and wildlife right from your porch.
Newport blends deep Appalachian roots with everyday convenience. Historically a river-and-rail crossroads and the seat of Cocke County, the area's economy draws from healthcare, education, manufacturing, building trades, logistics, and year-round tourism tied to the Smokies and regional lakes. Daily life stays family-forward and easy: parks and boat launches, youth sports, libraries, festivals, and small-town staples that keep errands close and weekends simple--fish or paddle the French Broad, hike nearby trails, or explore Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Big-city energy is close when you want it. Knoxville and the University of Tennessee are roughly an hour west via I-40, bringing SEC game-day buzz, concerts, major medical centers, and a thriving food and arts scene within an easy drive--expanding job options while you keep the quiet river-and-mountain lifestyle at home.
Whether you're planning a primary home, second home, or legacy retreat, this package checks the boxes: flat topography, multiple build sites, utilities at the road, and captivating French Broad River and Smokies views. Lots 15 & 18 are being sold together and not offered separately. Come see how effortlessly your plan can take root in Newport.
