About 5651 River Trace, Nashville, Tennessee, 37218
For sale is a unique and spectacular property, 5651 River Trace. Located in the Scottsboro community of West Nashville, this 19 acre +/- plot offers an absolutely amazing building site. Your own personal riverfront clifftop, twenty stories above the Cumberland, will be the perfect setting for the home of your dreams! The view is unparalleled - miles both up and down the river, into Bells Bend and Whites Bend and beyond. And the sunsets you’ll experience from your lofty perch will be spellbinding. Be sure to watch the video to get the full effect. Current owners had house plans drawn up specifically for this site, and they’re included in the documents. Or, let your imagination go wild and envision an airy structure cantilevered into space like homes in the Hollywood Hills. Build something truly unique in the city of Nashville. The site certainly is! The build will be challenging, but the reward will be priceless. The land has been perked for two separate 2-bedroom septic systems. See the documents section for details. This site comprises two properties. Parcel 67-65 includes two separate parcels of about 9 acres each, plus a contiguous section of the abandoned right-of-way for Highway 12. Parcel 67-141 is the remaining 0.7 acres adjacent to Highway 12. You’ll own all of the land between River Trace, Highway 12, and the railroad right-of-way skirting the river. Note that in the septic system drawings attachment, the road identified as Highway 12 is the former route of Highway 12. Part of that roadway right-of-way was abandoned, purchased from the State by the current owner, and is now included in this property; the remainder is now the road known as River Trace. The word “unique” is overused in the real estate business. But it’s the only apt description of this property. Don’t miss out!
