A perfect homesteading site, where you can enjoy sunrises and sunsets from the decks. If you want privacy while still having access to shopping and recreation, escape to this home on desirable Big Ridge in Hixson TN where you will enjoy low population density and low property taxes.
Tennessee is the optimal state east of the Mississippi River for ''bugging out'', according to Joel Skousen's Strategic Relocation - AND this property is a gardener's dream: primed for small-scale permaculture, organically-amended beds and a tiered garden offer strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries, grapes and gooseberries. A raised herb and vegetable bed is steps from the kitchen, and water cachements are in place. Both homes face south, perfect for solar installation. There are also plentiful open spaces for that chicken coop or rabbit hutch. Connected by a large deck and bridge, the 2023-remodeled barndominium is perfect for a mother-in-law suite or guest house. It could also be rented as a source of passive income, especially during fishing tournaments on Chester Frost Lake, just three miles away and visible in winter. The property is circled by woods on three sides, with perennial flower beds and walking paths throughout - and one magnificent Ginkgo in the middle.
The main house has a daylight basement featuring a finished workshop, pantry, office, bunk room, wood stove and tons of storage. Steel beam foundation supports have been installed in both homes - and fresh paint, new roof and windows in 2025 make it move-in ready.
