Discover a rare opportunity to own 43+ acres of beautiful East Tennessee countryside in Sweetwater. This exceptional property offers a perfect blend of open pasture and gentle rolling terrain, ideal for farming, estate living, or future development.
Located just off Oakland Road with convenient access to I-75, the property combines peaceful rural living with strong accessibility. Nearby commercial growth adds to the long-term investment appeal.
The land is predominantly cleared and well-suited for livestock, row crops, or a private home. Multiple potential building sites offer sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. This is an excellent setting for a custom home, agricultural operation, or investment in growing East Tennessee.
Glynn “Popeye” Miller was a lifelong farmer whose legacy is deeply rooted in his community. Best known as a founding member of the Fenders Tractor Show, Popeye helped turn a simple idea in 1993—born from a shared passion for antique tractors—into a beloved annual tradition. As the event grew, Popeye and his family generously offered a portion of their farm to host the show, where it continued to flourish. He passed away at 90 in July of 2025.
This property reflects not only his dedication to agriculture, but also his commitment to community, making it a truly meaningful offering at auction.
