Embrace self-sufficiency with this rare, prepper-friendly retreat located on the beautiful and safe Cumberland Plateau in Middle Tennessee.
Situated on a sprawling 10.6 acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,936 sq. ft. ranch home offers privacy, security, and everything you need for off-grid living or self-reliance, yet it’s still close to shopping and recreation.
Key Features for Preppers:
- Large Fish-Filled Pond: A 1.8-acre double spring-fed pond, naturally stocked with bass, bluegill, and more, offers a sustainable food source—fish right off your back deck, unseen from neighbors or the road.
- Abundant Resources: Hidden blackberry patches, planted blueberry bushes, black walnut trees, and open space for livestock or gardens create excellent opportunities for homesteading.
- Food Prep & Storage: The cookhouse by the pond features a natural stone fireplace for cooking, and there’s ample space for additional food storage or preservation.
- Chicken Coop: A large, walk-in chicken coop with metal siding and an insulated roof offers a perfect setup for poultry or small livestock.
- Valuables Safe: A bolted-down Winchester gun safe provides secure storage for your firearms or valuables.
- Solar-Ready: Plenty of open, unshaded areas to install solar panels on the ground or roof to enhance self-sufficiency.
- Driveway Safety: The driveway can easily be gated to provide an extra layer of security.
All the Comforts of Home
The Waterfront Prepper’s Paradise has been newly remodeled (Sept 2024) with a new kitchen, quartz countertops, luxury vinyl tile, and updated wiring. Heat your home with a natural gas furnace or the brand-new LOPI Evergreen NexGen fireplace insert (83% efficiency), which features a low smoke signature, perfect for maintaining a low profile.
Storage & Workshop
A large 2-car garage, a workshop with a wood stove, and multiple outbuildings (needing some TLC) store tools, equipment, and supplies. Plus, there is both 30-amp and 20-amp service outdoors, ideal for an RV or hot tub.
Location & Amenities
Enjoy the peace and security of the Cumberland Plateau, which has a low population density and a prepper-friendly community. The Mennonite neighbors are known for their self-sufficiency, and local resources like Sunrise Dairy offer farm-fresh products just minutes away. The property is just 15 minutes from Crossville and within 1.5 hours of Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, giving you access to larger cities when needed.
Recreation & Entertainment
In addition to the on-site pond and cookhouse, the area offers endless outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and hunting. Explore nearby waterfalls, golf courses, and the Big South Fork National Recreation Area. For motorsports enthusiasts, the Crossville Dragway and soon-coming Flatrock Motorsports are only a short drive away.
With low property taxes ($731/year) and a prime location, this prepper’s paradise is ready for your self-sufficient lifestyle.
