The concrete work is built to last with 6-inch flooring and 12-inch reinforced concrete under the lift area, supporting heavy-duty operations. The property is serviced by two septic systems, offering flexibility for multiple uses, tenants, or business expansion. A peaceful creek runs along the back of the property, adding a scenic natural element to this highly functional space. Located just minutes from Spring City and the highly sought-after Watts Bar Lake, this property benefits from strong accessibility and proximity to one of East Tennessee's most popular recreational destinations. Watts Bar Lake offers over 39,000 acres of water and hundreds of miles of shoreline, attracting visitors year-round for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. The area provides small-town charm with convenient access to shopping, dining, and services, while being within reasonable driving distance to larger markets such as Knoxville and Chattanooga. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of nearby hiking trails, marinas, campgrounds, and waterfront parks. Whether you're looking to establish a business, expand operations, or invest in a multi-use property with income potential, this property delivers the infrastructure, flexibility, and location to support your vision.
