Old Asheville Hwy Tn, 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.
