Property Description
Developer Opportunity | 7.5 Acres - US Hwy 27 Commercial Site
This 7.5 acre commercial site offers a rare opportunity to control a high-visibility corridor along four-lane US Hwy 27, featuring 1,058 feet of frontage and a 2025 average daily traffic count of 10,125 vehicles. As the first available commercial tract south of the US Hwy 68 / Hwy 27 intersection, the property captures consistent commuter, industrial, and recreational traffic—positioning it as a natural gateway site for service-based and destination retail.
The location benefits from daily workforce traffic to the TVA Watts Bar Nuclear and Hydro facilities, combined with strong seasonal demand from Watts Bar Lake recreation, creating year-round use potential. The tract's size, frontage, and access make it especially well-suited for convenience retail, travel center development, or covered RV and boat storage, all of which align with demonstrated regional demand.
With limited competing commercial inventory in this corridor, this site offers first-mover advantage, flexible development options, and long-term appreciation driven by infrastructure, employment stability, and recreational growth. Its scale allows for phased development, maximizing absorption and return while minimizing upfront risk.
This is a strategically positioned, high-exposure asset designed for developers seeking strong traffic counts, proven demand drivers, and scalable upside in an expanding East Tennessee market.
