Land Description

MoonBow Falls is a property that really stands out, with what it offers and the many features it has. This location is only a 9min drive to Cumberland Falls State Park, which is known as “Niagara of the South”, as it has a 125' wide waterfall that falls into a 60' boulder-strewn gorge below.

“MoonBow Falls” offers 12 total tracts that vary from 3ac- 20ac, all with new survey completed to show exactly what you are getting. Only 4 of these tracts join the Indian Creek that runs along the backside of the property so get them while they last.

Hunters, here is your chance to own your own tract full of wildlife and with many different ways to use the land on top of the hunters paradise.

Utilities are not far down the road from these lots so if you wanted t0 build a home on it your welcome to do so as long as you follow the restrictions we have that is listed down below.

Also open on weekends during Sept. and Oct. Rides start on the hour from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cost is per person.
