A PRIVATE, PRODUCTIVE, AND PICTURESQUE APPALACHIAN RETREAT
Nestled in the scenic Mulberry Gap area of Sneedville, this extraordinary 119+ acre working farm is a rare opportunity to own a slice of East Tennessee paradise. Complete with two homes, six lush pastures (including two productive hay fields), a barn, orchard, greenhouse, and a host of outbuildings, this property offers the perfect blend of self-sufficiency, rustic charm, and natural beauty.
The MAIN HOME, crafted in 1992 by local Hank Leo Lalemand using hand-hewn logs and stone sourced from the land itself, is a rustic showpiece with approximately 2,400 square feet of character and comfort. A massive stone fireplace anchors the open-concept living space, while two wood stoves offer cozy, off-grid-ready warmth. With 2 bedrooms, 2 additional multipurpose room, dressing room and two full baths, the home is ideal for families or those seeking a multigenerational retreat. Step outside to enjoy a private yard complete with a fire pit and pool--perfect for relaxing after a day of working the land or for gathering with guests under the stars.
The GUEST HOUSE is a rustic 2-bedroom, workout room, 2-bath residence with an oversized porch offering peaceful views across the farm and pastures. With its open living area, fireplace with wood stove, and comfortable layout, it's perfect for extended family, caretakers, or visitors.
Infrastructure abounds with a SHED ROW, WORKSHOP, POTTING SHED, AND GREENHOUSE AREA--all with power. A CHICKEN COOP (FONDLY CALLED CHICKEN PARADISE), a CAMPER, and multiple CROSS-FENCED AREAS provide both flexibility and function. Water sources are plentiful with a GRAVITY-FED SPRING SYSTEM and SHARED WELL. MULTIPLE WATER FAUCETS ARE SPACED throughout the property for livestock and irrigation.
This farm is not only NEARLY OFF-GRID (just add solar), but also incredibly connected--with TWO AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR HIGH-SPEED FIBER INTERNET.
For the green thumb and homesteader, the ORCHARD includes mature peach, pear, and apple trees, and the land also nurtures a bounty of trees including chestnut, almonds, apricot, plum, mulberry, persimmon and and wild edibles including peppermint, mushrooms, ginseng, and strawberries. It's a true FORAGER'S DREAM.
