Land for Sale in Whitwell, Tennessee
Marion County, Whitwell, TN 37397
Discover an exceptional 17.71-acre opportunity along Tennessee's highly traveled Hwy 28 corridor--offered for the first time after generations of family ownership. This expansive tract in Whitwell provides a rare combination of size, visibility, and development versatility. Historically used as pasture and crop land, the property remains completely untouched with no known structures ever built, giving buyers and developers a clean foundation for future plans, including short-term rental potential and agricultural development. Perfectly positioned between Dunlap and Jasper, and just minutes from I-24 and TN Hwy 41, this acreage offers unmatched regional connectivity. Enjoy quick access to Jasper, Monteagle, Winchester, and a comfortable 25-30-minute drive to Chattanooga. The site rests at the foot of the scenic Cumberland Plateau, adding natural appeal for residential, recreational, agricultural, short-term rental, or commercial concepts. TN Hwy 28 serves as the main north-south corridor through the Sequatchie Valley, delivering steady traffic exposure and making this tract an excellent candidate for commercial development. The land's mixture of level, sloped, partially cleared, and wooded features creates outstanding flexibility for building projects of all types--from agricultural use and STR cabins to residential homesites or commercial pads. Public water is available at the road, and the property includes paved frontage, a driveway, and attractive views including creek/stream visibility. Located near Whitwell Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, the property is well positioned for residential development, build-to-rent opportunities, agricultural expansion, short-term rentals, or long-term landholding strategies. A growing business district lies just south of the site, offering nearby commercial, industrial, and service facilities that strengthen the land's value and future potential.
