About this home

Available now, 9 tracts of land that are ideal for homesteading and building your dream, all tracts are zoned agricultural. Each tract offers plenty of room as they range from 5.2 to 6.4 acres each. These tracts fall within a community of people striving to build a healthier, more sustainable way of life. We are working to grow food and raise animals using techniques from fields like permaculture and agroforestry. We hope to reduce or eliminate our dependence on municipal utilities like electricity and water. The sellers live in the community and may be available to help with a variety of projects. With a machine shop, sawmill, and heavy equipment on site, they can assist with building structures, clearing land, or many other tasks that may arise as the sellers have a skill set that is not normally available. Their unique skill set, and equipment make them invaluable partners in creating the homestead of your dreams. The many tracts of land provide for different preferences such as having a weather stream, pond, MTN view with all of them being private. Each tract is accessible with common roads and long private driveways already graded with bar ditches and culverts. Most already have a house seat cut in, and the couple that don't are just waiting for you to pick a spot. This land provides a unique opportunity and is a must see. Roughly 30 minutes from Greeneville & Morristown, and about an hour from Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, this property is located in the county but is within a short distance to shopping, restaurants and a hospital within the city limits of Newport. Sellers live on site and are available to assist with touring the land. If you are looking for land with the support of experienced homesteaders, these tracts of land are the perfect choice for your on or off-grid homestead. Come and enjoy the peace and tranquility of country living. Tract 6 has a very nice hilltop home site with potential eastern views as well as some south facing slope for gardening. It is a gently sloping ridgetop that has not had a home site cleared yet, but it does have a lot of cleared space. It wouldn't be hard to create 2-3 acres of level ground there. It is approximately 1400' from the central well, 1000' from the nearest electric pole, and 1600' from the nearest known city water tap. It also has 50' of public road frontage on Looney Road. Public water may be available on Looney Road.
