Yes, Sewanee is something of a sui generis place. It isn't a "city" or a "town" in any sense under Tennessee law but rather an unincorporated place in Franklin County, Tennessee. The entire area that would be considered the traditional campus, the permanent residents' houses and the business district, along with thousands of adjoining acres which are undeveloped forest is referred to as "The Domain of the University of the South" is owned as the private property of the University and hence ultimately by The Episcopal Church.
