Designed for self-sufficient living, this property features a well, septic system, solar power system capable of supporting heavy appliances, high-speed internet access, tankless water heater, and propane service. The finished living space is located on the second floor, while the unfinished main level offers excellent potential for additional living area with minimal work required. Situated on a private, cleared, and relatively level homesite surrounded by mostly wooded acreage, the property offers abundant wildlife, privacy, and tranquility just minutes from the University of the South in Sewanee. The sale includes 3.30 acres on one tract plus an adjoining 13.58-acre tract (Tax ID #049 029.00), for a total of approximately 16.88 unrestricted acres. A Conex storage container and propane tank may remain with the property. Property is being sold AS-IS.
