Welcome to the ''picturesque'' town of Kodak, Tennessee! The story goes that in 1892 a local postmaster by the name of Harvey N. Underwood was tasked with finding a name for the budding little town he postmastered. One day he learned of a new brand of camera called the ''Kodak'' camera and thought the name was not only easy to remember, but also easy to spell. So, being in the letter sending and receiving business, Mr. Underwood sat down and wrote a letter to George Eastman, founder of the Eastman Kodak company, asking for permission to use the name. Eastman gave the postmaster his blessing and that's how Kodak, Tennessee got its name. This beautiful tract of land measures in at nearly 28 acres, and offers some of the most appealing topography on the market today! With creeks following portions of both the western and southern borders of the property your wildlife will not have to go far for a drink of water and the kids are just a short hike away from a splash in the creek. The hike through & around the property is a breeze with slightly rolling hills and wide roadbeds cut throughout leading to multiple probable build sites. Towards the center of the property you will find a well maintained food plot that has been used over the years for deer hunting, but would also make for some wonderful home sites. While you are building your dream home on the new farm you can live comfortably in the single level, three bedroom home towards the front of the property. Once that brand new home is complete you could either turn the existing home into an income producing rental, piece it off and sell the home, or even turn this land into a multi-generational property by moving the parents/in-laws in so they can be close by. Whatever the new owner decides to do with this land, one thing is for sure... they are going to be beyond thrilled to own this beautiful piece of East Tennessee. (drone photography used)
