About this property
THIS IS A LIVE AUCTION EVENT> BY NO MEANS SHOULD THE LIST PRICE BE CONSIDERED TO BE THE ASKING PRICE, STARTING BID, OR THE FINAL CONTRACT PRICE. PRICE GIVEN TO BE ABLE TO POPULATE TO THIRD PARTY WEBSITE PROVIDERS. Cole Hollow Rd. Live Land Auction Some Of The Prettiest Land In East TN. 20 + or - ACRES OFFERED IN 4 TRACTS | COLE HOLLOW ROAD, CARTER COUNTY, TN* AUCTION DATE: Saturday, October 24th at 11:00 AM LOCATION: On-site, Cole Hollow Road, Carter County, TN Saturday, October 24th @ 11:00 AM Picture a quiet valley ringed by forested ridgelines, where open pasture rolls gently toward the mountains and mature shade trees stand alone in the fields. This is Cole Hollow, and here's your chance to own a piece of it. Tucked into the Stoney Creek community of Carter County, this 20± acre offering is the kind of East Tennessee land that's getting harder to find: open, usable, and framed on every side by gorgeous mountain views. The property is mostly cleared, fenced pastureland with gentle, rolling terrain. It's ideal for a homesite, a mini-farm, horses, cattle, or simply a place to breathe. From nearly every corner you'll look out across neighboring farmsteads and up to wooded ridges that will put on a show this fall. Best of all, the hard part is already done. Every tract has paved road frontage on Cole Hollow Road and utility water available at the street, so you can go from auction day to breaking ground without the headaches of long driveways or drilling a well. Bid on the tract that fits your plans: Tract 2: 5.238± acres. Open pasture with sweeping views and road frontage. Tract 3: 5.01± acres. Rolling meadow with scattered shade trees and a mountain backdrop. Tract 4: 5.00± acres. Gently sloping pasture with ideal homesite potential. Tract 5: 5.00± acres. Paved frontage and views that stretch down the valley. Buy one tract for your dream home, or put several together for a small farm or family compound. Land with paved frontage, water at the road, and views like these doesn't come along often in Carter County. Walk the property, pick your tract, and be ready to bid! Directions: Cole Hollow Road, just off Stoney Creek Road. That's a short drive to Elizabethton, with easy access to Johnson City, Bristol, Watauga Lake, and the Cherokee National Forest. Unaka Elementary is about 5.3 miles away and Unaka High School about 8.4 miles away. TERMS: 10% Buyers premium. 10% Deposit at contract signing with closing to be within 30 days of contract signing. Additional terms and conditions made the day of sale. Selling subject to seller confirmation. All announcements made on the day of sale take precedence over previous advertisements.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
