Union County TN Real Estate

Union County, Tennessee is a space-forward option north of Knoxville where many buyers are trading density for breathing room while keeping metro access within reach. Searches often begin around Maynardville for services and a clear county-seat hub, then expand into surrounding areas when privacy, larger lots, or a quieter footprint becomes the priority. Depending on location, some buyers also prioritize proximity to recreation corridors, which can shape where the search focuses.

Homes here range from established properties near town to rural listings where land usability and access are central to value. If acreage is part of the goal, it’s smart to compare listings by practical details—road access, utilities, driveway grade, and usable terrain—so the property matches your real plans. Choosing whether you want to stay close to Maynardville convenience or prioritize more seclusion typically simplifies everything else.
