Welcome to Woody Island, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Reliance, Tennessee, on the scenic Hiwassee River. Located at 268 Childers Creek Road, this extraordinary property comprises three pristine private islands spanning 16.5 acres with an impressive 4,000 feet of untouched shoreline. Dotted by breathtaking old-growth trees, including a majestic stand of Yellow Poplars, these islands offer a rare sanctuary in nature. One of the most unique features of the island is the presence of the endangered Ruth's Golden Aster, flourishing in its natural habitat, alongside an abundance of foragable Chanterelle mushrooms. Protected by a conservation easement established in 1972, the islands boast uninterrupted scenic views of the Hiwassee Gorge. This conservation protection ensures the island remains a sanctuary for wildlife and nature lovers alike. The islands are easy to access via boat and provide an authentic wilderness experience with no traces of human intrusion on the islands. When the dam is shut off and water levels are low, you can even walk across to the islands, though boat access is the most reliable option. This tranquil, untouched paradise is directly across from Hiwassee Outfitters, a favorite for river adventurers, and just a stone's throw from the John Muir Trailhead and Childers Creek Trailhead, making it an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The Hiwassee River is renowned for its trout fishing, with large striped bass adding to the thrill for anglers. The river's gentle flow also makes it one of the best tubing spots in Tennessee. These islands, surrounded by national forest and state park lands, offer a unique opportunity for creating a private fishing camp, glamping retreat, or a haven for kayakers. The upstream and downstream islands are owned by the Tennessee State Parks and the National Forest, further ensuring the islands' privacy and seclusion. Electricity access is within reach, with power available near the public parking area. The Volunteer Electric Corporation has confirmed the potential for extending power to the islands, offering the possibility of modern conveniences while still embracing the raw beauty of this natural sanctuary. The current owner is especially keen on entrusting this remarkable property to a conservation-minded organization or individual, ensuring its pristine beauty remains protected for future generations. This is a truly unique and rare chance to own a piece of Tennessee's untamed natural heritage. Please note, in keeping with the island's unspoiled character, there is no signage on the property. Please Note: The address associated with 911 is 268 Childers Creek Road. For serious inquiries, a 24-hour notice could allow an escorted showing.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
