About this House
READY-MADE TENNESSEE HOMESTEAD... WITHOUT GIVING UP MODERN CONVENIENCES
3BR/2BA * 1.5 UNRESTRICTED ACRES * SOLAR + GRID POWER * CITY WATER + 1,550-GAL RAINWATER SYSTEM * FIBER-OPTIC INTERNET AVAILABLE * LARGE GARDEN * FENCED * 2 OUTBUILDINGS * 2025 TAXES JUST $114
What if you could live more independently without giving up modern conveniences?
This move-in-ready country home gives you solar AND grid power, city water AND 1,550 gallons of rainwater storage, fiber-optic internet, two mini-splits, a premium Hearthstone wood stove, a large prepared garden, fencing, two outbuildings, and unrestricted land with no HOA... so you can start living a more self-reliant lifestyle now instead of spending years creating it.
You don't have to choose between modern convenience and greater independence. Use the grid OR solar. Use city water OR collected rainwater. Heat electrically OR enjoy a fire in the wood stove. You decide what works for you.
START GROWING — WITHOUT STARTING FROM SCRATCH
The property offers rich, fertile soil, excellent southern exposure and a large prepared garden with room to expand. Only about one-fourth is planted, leaving plenty of space to make it your own. A 17-foot trellis can be converted into a high tunnel for an extended growing season, and four IBC totes provide rainwater collection for the garden.
The property is fully fenced, with a separately fenced backyard ideal for dogs, chickens or other small livestock. There's room for additional fruit trees, expanded gardens and other homestead projects.
And with 1.5 unrestricted acres and no HOA, you have something that's increasingly hard to find... the freedom to decide how to use your own property.
MUCH OF THE EXPENSIVE WORK IS ALREADY DONE
Creating this setup yourself could mean years of projects and added expense. Here, much of that work is already done.
The home is permanently affixed and detitled. Improvements include:
2025 - replacement waterline from meter to home
2024 - independent solar system, 1,550-gallon rainwater system, and two mini-splits
2023 - Maytag dishwasher, metal skirting, and back-door ramp
2018 - fencing, metal roof, Hearthstone wood stove, wood-grain vinyl plank flooring, and kitchen/bath countertops
Inside, the bright open-concept living area and split-bedroom floor plan provide comfortable living. The spacious primary suite has a walk-in closet and private bath. A large pantry offers storage for preserved foods, bulk purchases and household supplies. The laundry room houses the chest freezer and solar inverter/battery station.
Included are the refrigerator, range, Maytag dishwasher, stacked washer/dryer, 5-cu-ft chest freezer and under-sink reverse-osmosis drinking-water system.
Two outbuildings - a 10' x 20' wooden storage shed and a 10' x 19' metal building - provide space for tools, equipment, supplies and projects.
LOWER-COST COUNTRY LIVING
2025 PROPERTY TAXES WERE JUST $114 FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR. Combine that with the ability to use solar, heat with wood, collect rainwater and grow food, and you have multiple ways to potentially reduce ongoing household expenses.
Tucked away in the Meister Hills area of Deer Lodge, this peaceful, park-like property offers spacious cleared yards surrounded by mature trees. High-speed fiber-optic internet is available for remote work, streaming and online learning.
Country properties offering this combination of flexibility and ready-made infrastructure are hard to find.
If this sounds like the life you've been looking for, don't just save this listing and hope it's still here when you come back. Contact us today with questions or to schedule your private showing.
Come walk the property. See the garden. Check out the solar and rainwater systems. Sit on the oversized front deck for a few minutes.
And imagine what your life could look like if the lifestyle you've been wanting starts here.
