LTLT acquired this 64-acre tract of bottomland and river bluff land at the junction of Tessentee Creek and the Little Tennessee River in November of 1999. This conservation project was made possible by grants from the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund, The Lyndhurst Foundation and significant donations from LTLT supporters. The land lies at the center of the north-south oriented Little Tennessee valley, which runs from Rabun Gap, Georgia to the town of Franklin, NC.

The Farm is located at an historic crossroads in the river valley, which long served as a trading route connecting the Mississippi Valley through the southern mountains to the piedmont and coastal plain. Tessentee is historically rich with archaeological significance dating back thousands of years.

The land itself includes a large diversity of habitats due to the variety of soil types present (9 different soil types on 60-acres).
