Price Drastically REDUCED! - Unique 50 acre property for sale. Located high on top of the famous Cumberland Plateau, this home is nestled in the gated community of The Ridges at Franklin Forest, on the South Pittsburg Mountain in the great state of Tennessee. This mountain escape was creatively designed by the owner for anyone who enjoys ''off the grid'' living, and an independent lifestyle. Perfect for the avid hunter, someone who loves to hit the trails, or you can just enjoy the solitude and local wildlife that this majestic property has to offer. Initially designed as a private family home, this mountain paradise has all of the characteristics of a high end retreat or lodge. The grounds include an 2+ acre clearing, a main house with patio room, a primary guest house, several guest quarters, an observation tower, a super large pantry, an office quarter, a 3 car carport with an upper deck, and a very spacious 2 tier lower patio with a wood fire pit. There is no shortage of storage on this spacious compound! Additional amenities include a gated dog pen/house, two manmade ponds stocked with fish, and trails that span across 50 rugged acres which include seasonal flowing streams. Not to mention all the mountain deer and wild turkey that visit regularly! All of this and much more with many possibilities for your own expansion await you on this adventurous slice of Tennessee land. You have to see it to believe it! Eccentric and secluded as this property may be, it is only a stone's throw away from the convenience, culture, music, and shopping, of major metropolitan areas. With the scenic city of Chattanooga just an hour away, and Nashville not much further, a short drive can take you from outdoor adventure at home to a booming nightlife in no time. In addition, your new home is situated directly between the charming towns of South Pittsburg, and Sewanee (home of the University of the South), only twenty minutes in either direction. Lots to do within a short drive of this secluded hideaway.
