Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Smithville, Tennessee
Ponder Rd, Smithville, TN 37166
Tucked into the rolling hills of DeKalb County just outside Smithville, this exceptional 22.3-acre tract offers a combination of natural beauty, privacy, and build potential in one of Middle Tennessee's most sought-after lake communities.
A spring-fed clear water creek winds through a lush hardwood bottom on the back side of the property, creating a serene, shaded corridor alive with wildlife. Elevated portions of the tract can be opened up to have valley views of the surrounding area.
Bordering Corps of Engineers land, the property enjoys a natural buffer that ensures the solitude and undeveloped character of this setting will endure. With no neighboring development pressing against your boundary, what you see today is what you'll have tomorrow.
A perc test is currently pending for a prospective homesite, and the established access easement is utility-ready — positioned to accommodate power, and all available services to the building envelope.
*No trailers, pet farms/kennels or salvage junk yards allowed*
