Homestead Property Search #41 | East Tennessee 

We did quite a bit of research on this property and with the entire home, barn, and sheds being in a FEMA flood zone and the house being sold as is we attempted to negotiate a price we were comfortable with. Unfortunately, the seller was firm on the asking price and we didn't pursue a full price offer. It was a beautiful property and we really liked it.

WOW! Out of everything you've seen and showed us, this one would be hard to pass up for me.

The Best one Yet! If I wanted to move! I'd be checking this one out! That price has a home, barns, water, pasture, woods, Cool Tree house, and lots of potential! Nice manageable size!! Feels Good! Dogs look Content also!

I havent commented on any of the other 40 properties but this one 😁❤💜💙💚 is beautiful to me

I’ve looked at each property posted. This is the first one that I have felt compelled to comment. It is a great property!

Omg that’s amazing, I know it maybe a bit expensive per acre, but look at those acres, the house is beautiful too, by the time you have a few cockerels you won’t hear the road noise lol, if I lived in the USA, then I would love that, nothing like that in the UK, think hard on this one guys, the dogs loved it too looking at them, best wishes x

YOU GUYS. The more I’m watching this the more I’m seeing the potential. That old barn wood is worth a lot of money. The house looked livable. I’m not sure what amount you offered but I would really consider this one if it’s still available. I know it’s a flood zone but man...this could be an AMAZING property

I'm from Jersey here you would pay $299,000 for an 80' × 100' lot.!!!! On a slope with no city water or sewer!!! I. Telling u buy it!!

All that barn wood would be gold right now. Bummer the owner didn’t budge on the price. Love the property. That creek😍

I love this property so far the prettiest I have seen you look at..

Love that property. The water isn't a big deal. Build a walking bridge over it on the side for when nthe water gets high and you can park on the ther side. Check our arms family homestead. They have a creek bigger then that one that floods soemtimes and they have a bridge that they drive an ATV over.

A creek ran through it and that is the point. What you wanted. That creek is going to rise during high water run off to be expected. Build a bridge to the back 20 acres and put a house on the hillside with a view. The other two you could rent out to air bnb peeps. Once the property is renovated that could go for much more than asking price. Best property I have seen you look at.

I see lots of building materials in that old barn. Green house materials for one. This property is gorgeous!!

I have lived through a flood and lost everything. I don't blame you for passing on this one, no matter how pretty it is. I will never move back to a flood zone.

The property felt serene. Depends on how much is flood zone I would guess. It I liked the property and that creek - nice, very nice.

I like this one. I have 26 acres with 9 pastured and the rest forested. Wish I had a creek and a cool tree house. That’s an amazing greenhouse space. 😍

I really liked that property very well laid out lots of our buildings. Just that creek you have to cross especially after av hard East Tennessee rain. But r could easily be fixed

I can't believe you let this property go with that beautiful creek and beautiful landscape. The house was very nice and the barn had a lot of valuable things. The wood alone was worth a lot of money and the price was right and a great deal. The property that you bought needs a lot of work and repairs and is not as beautiful as this one. This property was worth every penny and more.

I like it all except the road noise. If you put the house on the other side it wouldn't be so bad though. Love the creek! Build a cute little covered bridge over it. That would be so charming.

You could do so much with that barnwood!!! And rest of the stuff!!

Another beautiful creek and that treehouse was so cool. Heaps of potential in this one.

This place is a keeper, honestly. It's got a nice house, that cool treehouse, two barns, and a root cellar. The road noise is annoying by the house, but it wasn't even noticeable out in the fields. The first thing I'd do is move the house deeper into the property to cancel some of that road noise. Being that close to a road would be great if you wanted to do a market garden or start a business. Lots of potential customers.

16:26 ... WOW! That's an old banana seat bike. Haven't seen one of those in over 50 years. Those bike's date back to the 60's at least. Had one when I was a kid during the 60's. Love to have one just to fix up and restore.

When we where looking for our property we found a house and land that ticked all our boxes but negotiations fell through the buyer wouldn't budge and we didn't want to pay his price. It was so dissapointing but two weeks later we found the a much better property the seller accepted our first offer and the looking was over. Be encouraged it will happen.

East Tennessee has a lot of spirits in the land wish you the best of luck on your search a lot of old history in Tennessee

Love the tree house , I'd live in it in a heart beat.

This is the best!!!! All that wood barn could be reused to build your bridge. Live in the main house as you build your house way in the back where it was quite. Then use all the front area, the main house as a store, close to the traffic sounds, as your selling place, and added rentals for camping and RV park. Let us know more info about the flooding zone. What is expected or does it flood all the time. That would be the only negative issue, flooding. GOD bless you both!

I don't know, you guys. It's looking pretty good. Yes, you have the road noise, but if you consider building something, later, further back, it could be idyllic. The current house could be usable relatively quickly as you get settled. The barn and other structures might be salvageable as useful - or at the very least, to reclaim that beautiful weathered wood for what you want. I agree, you would want some sort of bridge over the creek. You wrote in your Cons - flood zone. Is that because of the creek, or is it actually in a classified flood plain/zone due to other larger rivers and run-off? If it's in a classified flood plain (yearly, 2-year, 5-year, etc.), that might be a deal killer for me. Maps should be available that show frequency with high and low levels. But, your video showed some gorgeous land.

I think yall are HOME !!! Beautiful property , almost perfect !!

I like this property too, especially the water and the tree house... but you really have to weigh...flood zone, wow, you could be wiped out in a heartbeat...thanks for taking us along though, may God bless your search

This one was very rich in homesteading resources! Especially if the materials in the barns are included. I like your idea of creating a little village for extra income. Have you asked when it flooded last and how bad was it?

You looked at some very nice properties. This one THE BEST. Too bad about the road noise. Beautiful stream and cool tree house.

So much usable land and the lumber alone in that barn that’s iffy is pretty darn good. Prefab bridge is doable.

This has to be the prettiest one so far. The amount of useable wood is impressive. The area that was sandy you might be able to dredge out and actually make a swimming hole. Since it said house and barn, maybe they would come down some on the price since it really isn't livable yet and the barn could be shored up some as well. The tree house looks fine but the decking and stairs need replacing. I ait eagerly to hear your decision. Have a Blessed day.

Your Insurance is going to love the zip line idea!!

Goodness. How much price gap did u have. So much potential and it’s beautiful. Think I would have to consider this again seriously. With price of land and properties I thought the price reasonable. Even the dogs loved it

The wood of the old barn is worth so much!

There are lots of items and wood here. The land is beautiful and the stream also.

Seriously seems great! And I would totally rent the tree house cabin! So many possibilities! You could rent out the house while you build your own further back if you want!?

just looked it up on zillow. didn't realize how close it was to the road. That road noise would get to me after a while. no peace and quiet there. such a shame. beautiful piece of property.

Nice place, a shame the seller wasn't willing to negotiate with you. The creek, for me, was a big plus, & the buildings seem like they're on higher ground, but you walked it so maybe a washed out dirt path across the creek might be a problem? I'm not sure. Price is a bit high, but you have pasture, a source of wood, water, and fixable structures. It's better than that last swamp you looked at. 🙂

This is my favorite one so far. Sooooo beautiful!! Thank you for all of your videos, it's like going on a vacation without the traveling part. :)

Maybe look at properties with lower price that you feel comfortable with payments. Or buy just land with 10 acres or less and no buildings. This way you can build what you like. Most of the buildings in all these properties you have looked at have been in bad shape.

THIS PLACE LOOKS PROMISING

this one is gorgeous! the creek,the house,the treehouse and surroundings have so much potential!

We live in a wetland and a fema zone here in Alaska. It’s not so bad just a few extra steps 🤩

The property posted 21 hours ago is beautiful! So much potential! That's the one right there!

I am sold at the tree house! I would have to make it my art studio!

LOVE IT!!! BUY BUY BUY

this just needs some loving and then it would love you right back

Here in Panama, they use old American school bus frames to build bridges.

Have you ever seen thos park bridges made of steel? The army uses them too. You're a veteran right? The water can go over them but the traction is always there, and the bridge never rots. Besides, that creek would never get that high. The category "flood zone" is frightening, but I'm 73 and I have lived in flood zones and as long as your house is up a bit, it's no big deal. The worst places for flood zones are flat areas like around Houston TX. As long as your property has hills, you can build with some elevation and just enjoy the fertile land after a heavy rain. :-)

Be careful of anything in a flood zone. We live in the city and next to a drainage ditch. It cost us $1300.00 a year for flood insurance in addition to our house insurance. We are in the worst flood zone in our town. We have lived here for 25 years and it has never flooded but it has got close a couple times. When we purchased the house our realtor didn't disclose this to use until about 20 minutes before closing. We went ahead and bought it because we really loved the house but this flood insurance goes up each year. Be sure and check before you jump in.

Best one so far and dogs liked it

Hmmmmm very interesting apart from the road noise but it looks great yes I there loads materials big greenhouse etc gud luck in ur search guys from the 🇬🇧 x

You'll fix it ,💞 first things first explore,💕💕

I believe I have to find a way to own it it’s breath taking

You may be over thinking this, just sayin....that stream was amazeballs!

You need to do more research what river is it in the flood zone of. And when did it last flood How bad was it, they are the sort of questions I would ask, I would imagine that it was only the low lying area that floods not the whole property. Looking at the buildings I could not see a flood marks so it could be that it will flood every 50 to a 100 years. With all the buildings on it and a liveable house I would imagine its a fair price for the area.

Build a bridge.plus what is in the barn is worth a fortune these days.turn the treehouse into a BB

Arms family has a driveway crossing like that. They show it their videos all the time. A few times a year they park on the on the other side of it when they know the weather is going to be bad. They are in Oklahoma. Maybe ask them about it.

This is by far the best property yet loving the creek and the pasture

You guys are great👊😎❤ I just love the dogs too. 😂🐕🐕🐕 it's a good little property, but lots of work needs done on those structures uhg... need an army to fix it up... I've always wanted to build a bridge 👊😎😂 would be fun... and ya the road noise would be tough... the dogs have a good vibe, so that's a plus. 👊😎 you'd need a tractor, attachments ect. But a fun place to start out... we're back home now...need my heart fixed first... then see where the market is in the spring.... god bless and god speed 👊😎

I loved the pastures. So much better than any I had seen you look at. The creek is worth writing home about!

This is my favorite that you have looked at!

I like it! You could make a pallet bridge over the creek!! :o)

Worth the price! Beautiful

That's a gorgeous piece of property. So many things to like about it, especially the creek, the treehouse and the total bonus of having a huge pile of lumber and building materials included. There were more than enough doors and windows to put together an awesome greenhouse or cabin. It just made you want to get started on it. Too bad about the flooding, but if crossing that creek is the only way to get to the house, it could leave you pretty trapped on one side or the other. Looked like there were lots of other primo building sites though. Get away from the neighbors more.

I would buy it asap!! Its perfect for me!!!!

I really like this piece of property! That old barn could be updated to a cool house.that creek is to die for. Its pretty common to have cords like that across creeks in Tn.

barn full of treasures

I love this property

Might want to consider becoming real estate agents and traveling the states for a living showing the land. Seems like you enjoy it. The searching and roaming the landscape is fun fulfilling experience for you. Are you there yet? Lol. Tree house was cool. Now I'm not sure if it is in this video because I watched three. Oh boy.

If the house and barn are of little value, the land is 11,999.00 per acre. If in the future, how long to get it back? One year, five years, ten, or longer. Never fall in love with a property. It is an investment with a return.

I’m looking for something like this but not so many acres love it live on farm when I was a kid

Buying in a flood zone is a huge risk. Flood insurance is very expensive and you could lose everything if it floods. The power of water can be terrifying. On a sunny warm day it all looks beautiful but it could kill your dream A creek is wonderful as long as your dwellings, gardens and animals are not in the flood zone. Just a thought

Your fur babies seemed to really love this place.

The boys (dogs lol) are enjoying the tour shame you couldn’t negotiate cool tree house. It’s a pretty property that’s for sure. Good luck 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️👍👍

Hi there I've been watching your property journey now from a while this place is by far the nicest of all that we've seen please view it again it's the one for you the minute the video started I got a good feeling about the place even the dogs like it lot of potential it's got the KRAMER LIFE written all over it so beautiful go for it hope you do stunning.good luck from the UK

Once you get farm animals you won’t hear the hyw noise 😉

Wow beautiful just describe this property!!!!!! I love it

Those sellers are going to get their price. I think this property is stunning.

The property looks really great

Hi guy i m telling youthis property is best one for you .go for it.goid luck .to much potential

My new fav and the 🐕🐕 seemed to love it.

Have a great weekend. Takecare. Bye. God bless. 🙏

Put a value on all the structures, a value on the creek, a value on the acreage that has been cleared, power available, septic tank, ect. What does the price per acre turn out to be?

Beautiful property.

This one's pretty good. Neighbors are pretty close to the barn though. Love that the creek goes through the property and not just along the border between. Seems big enough to not dry out in the summer. The old style stove (retro) is cool. How is the barn structure? Solid or tear down? Take the bike out for a spin! Shoot some hoops! Be well from Canada 🇨🇦

Beautiful

This is a awesome land and nit bad buildings..👍🇺🇲

I'm a little iffy on shaky heights so the treehouse isn't quite my thing (but the inside looked neat) (but I would never forget that I wasn't on the ground). But, the creek was about as perfect as it could be, and the house (20's? 30's?) is one of my favorite old house styles. And, a farm store?!? So neat. But, the flood zone thing.... and road noise.... and cost..... you hit those nails on the head.

Man, you guys are picky! :) Nice property. Seems to have most of what you want.

This one is pretty nice. It needs some work but you’ll have 300k into a new house and barn alone pretty easily. Granted this isn’t a new house and barn but you’ll have the cost of the land on top of that 300k too. I probably would consider this one pretty seriously.

Ever heard the saying "God willing and the creek don't rise", that was said about this type of property a time or two I'm sure. It's pretty, and I'd diff consider it. However, you would need to build a bridge and I don't know about earth ship homes around the creek area, that could flood. Tennessee gets lots of rain, and it comes in down pours. We also have been having more and more record braking floods. I don't live in a flood plain, or even an area known to flood. Yet, in 2010 my home was lost to one, a so called 500 yr event, and this yr the river came to within 4 feet of my front door. I rebuilt after the first one, this one has made us serious think about moving from here, even though it's one of the nicest most desirable areas around. Don't mean to put you off on this one, just a little food for thought. I do think it's very workable. Some family seems to have lived there for a good while, but I think things were probably very different at the time. The dogs would be, as they say, "in hog heaven".

The property looked great, I wished the owner had worked with you on the price. On the other hand being in a flood zone puts me off. Arkansas had the worst flooding in years in 2019, I think it was. So much livestock was lost, homes flooded. We didn’t have any problems on our property, but it was hard to get anywhere, so many roads closed! My feeling is, if it was meant to be......it will!

This one is beautiful!

Well, I have watched all your house hunting videos, and made numerous comments, some where I had concerns as to what you are looking for and what your criteria is. This is double my East Tennessee acreage, and at the same price. I have a metal hay barn and an older stable/barn. Half my acreage is woods on hills, but I have a hand made virgin growth cabin on mine. This is a lot of land and buildings for the price, plus, the creek is a huge plus for you. I hope you are able to fulfill your needs with this property. If not, as they say in Appalachia l “bless your heart”. Bon chance!

I am so bummed sellers would not negotiate! This is the prettiest so far.

Nice, pretty property.
