About This Home
**Buyers Financing fell through at to no fault of the sellers this property is back on the market**Welcome to 1242 Highway 64, a rare and exciting opportunity in scenic Polk County, TN. Nestled on 5.86 acres just a quarter mile from the Lower Ocoee River, this property offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country living and prime visibility for a commercial business. With its location along well-traveled Highway 64, it enjoys constant exposure to thousands of passersby, making it ideal for anyone seeking to launch or grow a destination-oriented venture.
Currently home to Cascade Outdoors, a highly rated rafting company with a 5-star TripAdvisor rating and a Travelers' Choice Award, the property comes fully equipped with everything needed to operate a successful outfitter. Included are essential rafting supplies, permits (one of only 23 on the Ocoee River), three buses, and all infrastructure needed to hit the ground running. The rafting permit, subject to state transfer conditions, is valid until 2033. However, if rafting isn't your vision, the seller is open to separating the equipment and property.
Only 1.8 miles from the Lower Ocoee put-in at Sugar Loaf and near the entrance to Cherokee National Forest, this location is a gateway to hiking, climbing, hunting, foraging, biking, and adventure sports. The possibilities for this property are endless: create an RV park, a motorcycle adventure base, mini-farm, music venue, dual home site, or renovate the existing outpost into a stylish residence. The existing infrastructure supports a wide range of uses. The property includes a 3-bedroom, 1-bath, 1,835 sq ft home with a 320-sq ft screened porch, separate utility meters (outpost and home), and basic but livable interiors ready for updates. In addition to the home, two tucked-away bungalows offer rustic charm and potential. A large gravel pavilion with picnic tables provides space for group events, and a heritage stone BBQ, tiki bar, and 100-year-old Cherokee National Forest park ranger utility shed add to the character and charm of the grounds.
Additional structures include a 40'x56' metal barn with poured slab, 12' ceilings, two large 10'x10' garage doors, and an attached 16'x56' storage shed roof, plus a 40-ft shipping container. A historic 80-year-old wood barn, previously used for horses, with priceless vintage lumber sits at the top of the property alongside an above ground functional diesel tank.
The retail outpost features pine floors, a front porch with relaxed rural views, separate men's and women's bathhouses, ample gear storage, and plenty of guest parking.
Whether you're dreaming of an outdoor adventure business, a countryside retreat, or something entirely your own, this one-of-a-kind property has the location, infrastructure, and flexibility to bring your vision to life.
