The O’Neil Family Farm Located in Newport, TN

Will and Lucy O’Neil were well-known members of Cocke County as they lived and worked in Newport. They originally purchased the farm in the late 1800s and continued to expand. Eventually, Mr. O’Neil owned 3 farms totaling over 1,000 acres where he raised black angus cattle, Yorkshire hogs, tobacco, hay, and more. The farmhouse was built by timber cut on the farm in 1902, which became the home tract. Their son William Gray O’Neil was born in the home in 1905.

In time, ownership of the farm was passed to, William Gray O’Neil from 1946 – 1980. William O’Neil was a prominent man in the community who brought the Co-Op to Cocke County, grew the 4-H programs in the local schools, was very involved in The Farm Bureau, and more!

In the 1980s, the farm was inherited by, Jariel O’Neil who is the son of William Gray O’Neil. Jariel having retired to Charleston, SC has chosen Furrow Auction Company and Paula King to sell to the highest bidder(s). This is the FIRST time in over a century this property is offered outside of the O’Neil family. At any given time, the farm is filled with deer, turkey, and occasional bear sightings. Approximately 390.66 acres of the farm will be up for auction on Saturday, April 29th at 10:00 AM. The farm will be offered in 7 tracts and as a whole. The home, barn, and storage shed are located on tract 1. The original farmhouse has been well-maintained has had 2 additions. The property is secluded, yet very close to town and the interstate. You are less than 3 minutes to Newport, 1 hour from Asheville, and 45 minutes to Knoxville. This property would make an excellent home, event venue, or bed and breakfast – the possibilities are endless.
