About This Home

As of April 2025

First time on the market in a century. A rare opportunity like this doesn't come along often. Now being offered is this 52 acre family farm tract with roots that run deep in the Otto Community. The property is located South of Franklin with easy access. Once there you will find a 3/1 home that is waiting to be brought back to its full potential. Alongside is functional work shed with adjoining tool room. The large barn will need some care but holds promise for more productive years. Nice small branch flows by home off mountain located on the property. The pasture is exceptional and leads into wooded portions in three different sections. The elevation climb is minimum with outstanding short and long range views throughout. The total area of the pasture is fenced and ready for livestock. If you are looking for a family compound, estate , farm , or multi site development potential, look no further this property has it.
