Did I mention a mountain paradise?
And now for the off the grid yurt located almost in the middle of the property for complete privacy and views to to the Smokies.
How is that for off the grid living with its own water supply and privy plus an outdoor hot/cold shower. All the comforts of home except for the noise!
Views from the deck of the yurt all the way to the Smokies.
All the comforts of home with this odor free composting outhouse at the yurt.
Winter view from the free off the grid yurt.
Did I mention the quiet and peace up here?
So what are you waiting for? Come and see this one of a kind mountain paradise that's just waiting for you to explore its old growth hollows and ridges, old crop and pastures of a bygone era that all lay along the jeep road that accesses the entire property.
So much old growth timber that it feels almost like a rain forest.
Another view from directly overhead.
