Purchasing land question

[Shamoan]

I am interested in purchasing some recreational land (minimum 20 acres) in east tennessee and in looking online, it seems there is an unorganized mess of places to look. anybody got advice on WHERE to look for out-of-state land? i already am aware of the pitfalls of buying land (restrictions, taxes, easements, etc)...just looking for an organized place with a lot of options from those that have done it before. thanks.

The largest website is www.landsofamerica.com.
You can search by county, map, cost etc.

Others are www.landwatch.com, www.landflip.com.

Most other websites advertising land are linked to these.

FYI: I'm a Forester/Real Estate Broker/Appraiser

You can try Zillow. I've even provided a link that would be a good starting place: http://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sal...81.13678,34.459013,-88.277893_rect/7_zm/1_fr/

What area are you looking in?

You might what to try Unitedcountry.com. I believe they have 16 offices in TN. I purchased 4 acres near Lake Norris (Knoxville area) last year and had no problems handling it by internet/email.

Not sure yet...just window shopping at this point, but pretty much anything in the foothills area in south eastern Tennessee east of Murfreesboro and south of Knoxville.

Keep us updated, I'm probably going to retire to that same area in the next 10 years or so. Two nice areas are close by (Nashville and Knoxville), reasonable driving distances to Atlanta and Huntsville (I'm thinking of places for my kids to raise families, I've told them to leave MS), and close enough to visit family and hunt back in the 'Sip. Not to mention low crime, mountains and many other things to do.
