all the places listed are excellent, i've worked at sequatchie cove, but dont forget the sequatchie valley institute, a well established homestead turned educational nonprofit. i dont know what they're up to these days, but they're a great resource at least. svionline.org
on a related topic, i have 19 acres for sale within walking distance. i'm trying to find appropriate places to list it, as it's of average quality for developers, but an amazing and excellent place for a homestead, with lots of limestone springs and
water, timber, open flat land as well as hilly cove-laden land, south facing slopes, adjacent to beaver ponds and trout ponds, a
native persimmon orchard, 20 or so cultivated
fruit trees, and great soil. if anyone is interested i'll be there this coming week, december 8th-15th, or i'm reachable at
quasiperiodic@gmail.com
also if anyone knows better places to list special land like this, i'd appreciate it.
