Earlier this year I bought 13 acres near Chattanooga, TN with the intention of building a small community of people who share my core values of personal
freedom and
land stewardship.
Why Chattanooga area:
Natural beauty - mountains, rivers, caves,
water falls in abundance.
Low cost of living
Moderate climate
Abundant rainfall - little risk of drought and wildfires here.
Freedom - no building permits or inspections needed. Build what you want. No vaccine/mask mandates either.
Great people - people in the south are way friendlier and helpful IMO.
Why this property:
There's a huge creek on the property.
We dug a small
pond and hit two springs.
Its got a good balance of cleared area and woods.
Its only 20 mins. from Chattanooga if you want to go to events or just meet people.
The soil is about 75% sand and 25% silt and clay - drains well, is easy to work, is great for growing and great for earth buildings.
Just got a crystal clean well installed (no filtration needed) that provides around 30 gpm - with that single well, we could service 4 standard homes.
Fiber internet is available.
Its very quiet - there is essentially one neighbor within yelling distance.
I've been promoting this for about a year and a half (long before I even bought the property). We've had lots of visitors and there are lots of people interested but until last week we didn't have utilities so I expect this to take off now. PM me if interested. You can also join our group on
