Exceptional Estate or Development Opportunity – Approximately One Mile from Downtown Franklin! Rare opportunity to own approximately 11 acres, with an additional separate 1.8-acre parcel, located within the city limits of Franklin and about one mile from downtown. This property offers a blend of privacy, convenience, and development potential, making it ideal for a variety of uses. The land is generally sloping with a mix of open and wooded areas, providing natural beauty and versatile building sites. The property offers easy access from a subdivision road and features a pond and will require repair and/or remediation. There are potential dual access points via Trimont Trail on both the West and East. 120 Trimont Trail has two existing water and sewer taps. There are two residential structures on site. The first is a small single-family dwelling near the access point, which is in poor condition and has little to no value. The main home is in fair condition with some deferred maintenance. No power is currently on site. Property provides a blank canvas for renovation or redevelopment. This versatile property is perfect for those looking to create a private estate, restore the existing home, or pursue a small-scale development or investment project. The combination of location, accessibility, and natural setting makes this a truly rare opportunity near downtown Franklin. With nearly 13 acres total, this property offers flexibility to expand, potentially subdivide, or maintain as a private sanctuary, all just minutes from Main Street and less than 1 mile from Slanted Window. Properties of this size, with this level of potential and proximity to downtown Franklin, are exceptionally rare. Zoned R1- Residential.
