Residential Land for Sale in Rockwood, Tennessee

A quiet wooded parcel under the Cumberland Plateau near Rockwood, Tennessee.This is where the plateau breaks down into the Tennessee Valley -- hardwood ridges, hollows running off them, and the long wall of the escarpment standing west. Rockwood is four miles west and began as a company town. The Roane Iron Company made its first cast there in December 1868, and the place took the name of W.O. Rockwood, the company's first president. Watts Bar Lake backs the Tennessee River up through the south of the county. Knoxville is about forty miles east. Fall runs long in this country -- the hardwoods turn through October, and the hollows hold fog long past sunrise. Hold it as an investment or simply own a piece of Tennessee with your name on the deed.
