Grow a more self-reliant life on approximately 23.7 acres in Rutherford County’s renowned Isothermal Belt region. The property combines an established orchard and food-producing plantings with a fenced garden, greenhouse, chicken coops and spring-fed water infrastructure. Regional temperature-inversion patterns may support milder growing conditions and a longer growing season than nearby mountain areas, although conditions vary by site. Solar power with battery storage, a workshop and existing homestead improvements provide a meaningful head start for buyers interested in gardening, food production and off-grid living.
Buyers should independently evaluate soils, water capacity, sunlight, frost patterns and suitability for their intended agricultural uses.
