Unrestricted 16.5± Acre Farmstead with Eco-Friendly Berm Home, Barn, Ponds & Endless Potential
Discover the freedom to live, build, and create your legacy on this ±16.5 acre unrestricted farm offering privacy, natural beauty, and authentic homesteading potential. With up to 1,000 feet of road frontage, this property provides exceptional seclusion while remaining conveniently located just 27 minutes from Cookeville, home to Sam's Club, hospital and medical facilities, dining and entertainment, and a new Home Depot scheduled to open Fall 2026.
At the heart of the land sits a 1,596 sq ft eco-friendly berm home, ready for loving restoration by a visionary homesteader. Designed for efficiency and sustainability, the home features a wood-burning furnace and root cellar and smokehouse, a well and access to city water, making it ideal for off-grid or self-sufficient living. The property also includes a 20x30 barn with city water already in place approximately 400 feet from the road.
The land itself is a rare find--totally unrestricted with no road maintenance fees, allowing true freedom of use. Two ponds, a wet-weather creek, and multiple cleared and level building sites offer endless possibilities for additional homes, cabins, or agricultural use. The property also boasts potentially marketable timber, including white oaks (hardwood) and loblolly pines (extremely marketable softwood), adding long-term value and investment opportunity.
This property also may qualify as a Greenbelt property which can be a tremendous tax benefit. Greenbelt properties have lower property taxes in order to encourage the maintenance of open spaces, beauty, reduced urban sprawl, and agriculture.
Whether your vision is a working farm, multi-generational homestead, private retreat, or land investment, this property delivers space, resources, and freedom seldom found today.
Sold AS IS.
No restrictions. No limitations. Just land, opportunity, and the freedom to live your way.
