We Buy Land in Oak Ridge, TN
No other market around here has housing like this. The 1940s cemesto "alphabet houses" — the A, B, C, and D plans in Woodland, Highland View, and Emory Valley — are everywhere, many still in original condition, and they are ideal candidates for a full-gut renovation by a contractor who has done one before.
Greenbelt-classified acreage in Anderson County can carry rollback taxes when the use or classification changes.
