Two Acre Lot Near Tennessee River Sells for $74,500

A sale recorded November 19, 2025 shows a two acre lot on Oak Park Drive in Decatur County sold for $74,500, according to an MLS derived listing displayed on RateMyAgent. The listing describes the parcel as within walking distance of Tennessee River access and Cherokee Marina, and notes that utilities are available to the lot. The recorded sale and the listing details were publicly visible on the MLS derived page as of this week.

At $74,500 for two acres, the transaction implies a price of $37,250 per acre. That metric provides a simple basis for comparing this sale to other vacant land transactions in the county, and it will be a data point for appraisers and local assessors as they update values. For residents, the closeness to the river and the marina is likely the principal driver of the premium, because demand for recreational land near public water access tends to be stronger than for inland parcels.

The availability of utilities raises the parcel s development potential, and that can affect future patterns of land use along this part of the river. If a buyer builds a residence or a vacation property, local building activity could boost demand for contractors and related services. Conversely the sale can also put upward pressure on property tax assessments for neighboring parcels, depending on how assessments are revalued by county authorities.

From a policy perspective, county zoning and infrastructure decisions will shape whether recent sales like this lead to denser development or remain as low density recreational lots. Decisions about road maintenance, sewer or water extensions, and public access management at the marina will influence long run outcomes for property values and the local tax base.

For Decatur County residents the transaction is a timely reminder that parcels near the Tennessee River remain marketable. Observers should watch forthcoming sales records and assessor updates to see how this sale fits into broader trends in riverside property values and local development patterns.
