    About Hawkins County

    Gateway to Tennessee's Appalachian Heritage

    Nestled in the northeastern corner of Tennessee, Hawkins County represents one of the state's oldest and most historically significant regions. Established in 1786, this county spans approximately 487 square miles of stunning Appalachian terrain, from the shores of Cherokee Lake to the ridges of Clinch Mountain. The county seat of Rogersville holds the distinction of being the second oldest town in Tennessee, founded just four years after the county itself was established. The area's rich history dates back to early American settlement, with numerous sites and structures still standing from the Revolutionary War era.

    Whether you own lakefront property along Cherokee Lake, mountain acreage with panoramic valley views, agricultural land in the fertile Holston River valley, or timberland on the mountain slopes, Place Acre offers fair cash prices for land throughout Hawkins County. We understand that selling inherited land, managing out-of-state property, or divesting from unwanted acreage can be challenging, and we're here to make the process as straightforward as possible.

    If you're looking to sell inherited land in Tennessee, our experienced team can guide you through every step of the transaction, from initial offer to final closing.

    Fascinating Facts About the Region

    From Tennessee's oldest newspaper to Cherokee Lake's spectacular waters, Hawkins County boasts a remarkable collection of historic and natural treasures.

    Tennessee's First Newspaper

    Rogersville is home to The Rogersville Review, which has been publishing since 1886. But even more remarkably, the town was home to Tennessee's first newspaper, the Knoxville Gazette, which was actually printed in Rogersville in 1791 before moving to Knoxville. This made Hawkins County a pioneer in Tennessee journalism and media history.

    Cherokee Lake Paradise

    Cherokee Lake, created by the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1941, offers over 400 miles of shoreline and covers approximately 30,000 acres. The lake stretches through Hawkins County, providing exceptional opportunities for fishing, boating, and waterfront property ownership. Bass, crappie, and catfish fishing draw anglers from across the region to these pristine waters.

    Hale Springs Inn Historic Landmark

    Built in 1824, the Hale Springs Inn in Rogersville is one of Tennessee's oldest continually operating inns. Presidents Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and James K. Polk all stayed at this historic establishment. The inn represents the county's important role as a stop along the Great Stage Road connecting the East Coast to the expanding Western frontier. Understanding how to read a property survey can help you identify historic boundaries and easements when selling land in areas with rich heritage.

    Tobacco Heritage

    Hawkins County was historically one of Tennessee's premier burley tobacco producing regions. While tobacco production has declined significantly since the federal buyout program of the early 2000s, the county's agricultural heritage lives on through diversified farming, cattle operations, and hay production. The rich, fertile bottomlands along the Holston River continue to support agricultural enterprises. Learning about water rights and land ownership is essential when dealing with agricultural properties in this region.

    Clinch Mountain & Bays Mountain

    Hawkins County is defined by two major mountain ridges: Clinch Mountain to the north and Bays Mountain to the south. These ridges create the stunning valley terrain that characterizes the county's landscape. Clinch Mountain rises to over 4,000 feet in some areas, providing dramatic views of the Powell and Clinch River valleys. The mountains also serve as important habitats for wildlife, including black bears, wild turkeys, and white-tailed deer. The combination of mountain terrain, lake access, and valley farmland makes Hawkins County one of the most geographically diverse counties in East Tennessee.
