Any recommendations on land in E. TN?

I am headed to the Knoxville area in late October to scout for some land. I need to be close enough to hospitals for my wife's work. Looking for a slower pace of life and better weather than Houston.
Any recommendations or feedback would be helpful.

What kind of hospital? If your wife is into specialized medicine, she's going to have more trouble finding work in smaller town hospitals. Land is a lot cheaper farther from the larger towns.

How much land? What's your budget? Are you trying to monetize this land by putting crops or cattle on it?

I like Wears Valley, but I imagine there are better deals for land in a scenic location in western PA and West Virginia. You start running into shitty winters when you get up to western PA though. I used to live in Pittsburgh....it's not as bad in the winter as Chicago was, but it's a lot to get used to if you are from Houston.

The dude is asking for feedback...not answering all of your questions. You're like one of those moms on FB that can't stop.

You've come to the right place.

However, the OT needs information on what you intend to do with your land, what your requirements are, and pictures of your wife.

Del Rio, Greenville, Parrotsville are all beautiful areas.

I'd look South of Knoxville.

Try Seymour, Wildwood, Walland, maybe even Townsend.

They got some strange liquor laws up there, tough to find a bottle of ripple sometimes. Must plan ahead.

Yes
Farming is hard work. My dad grew up on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley. He said that experience as a kid motivated him to graduate college.

What type of work in the hospital?

RN
She works rehab but can work in other areas

We checked out Maryville and Farragut a couple of months ago. I really liked those areas.
