203-Acre Tennessee Sporting Compound With Lodge, Pro Shop, Events Center, and Private Cabinet List for $7 Million
A 203-acre sports ranch with a three-bedroom cabin, a lodge with a pro shop area, and an event center located less than an hour from Nashville, TN, just hit the market for $6,995,000.
Cross Creek Clays in Palmyra, TN, offers the next buyer an amazing opportunity to own one of the best sporting properties in the Southeast.
“It’s a top-class sporting clays venue that has hosted many events, including the Tennessee State Shoot and the Southeast Regional Championship,” said the listing agent. Ross Welch of Zeitlin Sotheby’s International Realty. “There aren’t many places that offer championship courses and a premier clay shooting facility.”
Designed for large events, the multi-purpose facility has a 7,000-square-foot lodge with a professional shop, a 5,000-square-foot event center with a commercial kitchen, and a 3,000-square-foot covered patio.
“There’s even a room for the bride and groom at weddings,” Welch noted. “The seller was always shooting and created this as his dream property. He never ran it into a thriving business and never took advantage of the occupancy, so the entire market is untapped. There is plenty of room to add several homes and cabins.”
The three-bedroom, self-contained off-grid cabin has two 5,000-gallon rainwater collection tanks with integrated filtration and purification and a solar system. The 2,404-square-foot wood-clad interior features a two-story living room with a stone fireplace, a kitchen with a breakfast nook, and a primary suite with access to a private terrace.
The cabin-style loft with a pro shop features vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and custom wood details. Covered porches provide a great place to relax and unwind after a day outside while soaking up the serene views.
“They had some big, well-known dressers there,” he added. “I think the next buyer will be someone who has a passion for the shooting community and sees the value of the infrastructure that’s already there, and will probably want to look for ways to make money.”
As the heritage sanctuary currently exists, it can easily be converted into a family compound.
“On the business side, you can also rent cabinets,” Welch said. “You don’t have to put any big costs in this area because the grounds are not good, but there is a lot of room to expand if you want.”
The championship-level sports infrastructure includes three 16-channel courses, two 40-foot-tall towers, covered arenas with 5 stands, and 146 MEC automated target systems.
“Seller is one of the original Night Stalkers, who served in the Army’s elite special ops 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment,” Welch said. “Every year he shoots the dead. It’s his passion, and he raises a lot of money for the community.”
