Luttrell
Rural Neighborhood in Tennessee
Union County 37779, 37807
Home to country music star Kenny Chesney and paid tribute to in one of his hit songs, “Back Where I Come From,” Luttrell spans nearly four square miles in the Appalachian Ridge and Valley range and is 25 miles north of Knoxville.
“It is a quiet rural community,” says Tammie Hill, a Realtor with Realty Executive Associates. “Life’s a little slower here, and you can find some properties with a lot of land.”
Known initially as Cedar Ford when it had a lime kiln and marble quarry in the 19th century to supplement its 880 residents. Eventually, the Powell Valley Railroad came and made the area a shipping center for neighboring areas in 1887. The name was changed to Luttrell in 1890 to honor former Knoxville Mayor James Luttrell, who passed away three years prior and was incorporated in 1925.
Tight streets in the rolling hills of East Tennessee have bungalows and ranch-style homes scattered throughout the city. While it is not true with every home, there is the opportunity to get a property on multiple acres with picturesque landscape views. Buyers can expect a three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch on over three acres of land to go for $500,000. “The market here moves a little bit slower than the rest of the Knoxville area,” Hill says.
Children attend the Union County School District, headquartered in neighboring Maynardville, with 6,000 children enrolled. Students begin their education at Luttrell Elementary School, where the teachers rank as a B on Niche. They will advance to Horace Maynard Middle School and Union County High School, a short commute to Maynardville. In high school, kids have the option of clubs, sports teams and extracurricular activities to supplement their education.
Right next to the elementary school, residents can dive into a book at the Luttrell Public Library or attend a city meeting at the conjoining community center. The community center also features a park with a playground, ball field, tennis and basketball courts.
The Food City in Maynardville is conveniently located for people to pick up their weekly groceries. For those with green thumbs, Tater Valley Nursery can be a spot to start your backyard garden. The nursery started as a family farm over 100 years ago and now sells geraniums, hanging baskets and various vegetable plants. If you need more retail, there are a few options. You can make the 10-mile drive to Gibbs, where they have a Midway IGA grocery store and Walgreens, drive 25 miles west to Halls Crossroads, which boasts a handful of shopping centers, one including a Walmart or head 25 miles south for a day out, in downtown Knoxville. Enjoy a Friday night pizza night with your family by picking up a pie from Pizza Plus on State Route 61 right in the heart of the city. Located on a family farm, the Winery at Seven Springs Farms ferments its own wine with grapes grown in the East Tennessee climate and is an excellent place to take in a day outside or inside their tasting rooms.
Back where Kenny Chesney comes from, Luttrell is a quiet rural community north of Knoxville.
