Public Remarks: Nestled in the hills of Maynardville, TN, this 108.5-acre UNRESTRICTED tract—affectionately known by locals as ''Hippy Holler''—is more than land. It's a legacy waiting for its next chapter. Here, nature, history, and possibility converge. A year-round creek gently winds through the holler, once serving as the lifeblood of a working homestead. It still provides the peaceful sound of flowing water and could serve as a valuable resource for small livestock or gardens. At the center of the property lie the remnants of the original homeplace—aged beams, hand-laid stone, and a concrete slab that speak to a life once lived with intention. Underground electric remains connected to the homesite, and a gravity-fed spring supplied water to the plumbing of the home—offering a rare nod to self-sustaining living. An old barn still stands nearby, echoing the property's agricultural past and offering potential for restoration. For the visionary, the bones of the homestead may offer a rare opportunity to rebuild in place, honoring the footprint and spirit of what once stood proudly in this peaceful valley. This property is enrolled in the Greenbelt Program, offering the benefit of significantly reduced property taxes (buyer to verify eligibility and continuation). Whether your dream is a multi-generational homestead, a recreational retreat, or a private sanctuary, this property offers the chance to build something lasting in a place that already holds heart and soul: ● Secluded, yet not isolated ● Accessible, yet untouched by modern noise ● Naturally resourced, with room to design, grow, and reconnect with the land This property has the potential to be the Self-Sustaining, Homestead in the Woods so many have dreamed of. It once told a vibrant story—one of simplicity, sustainability, and connection to nature. A place where life flowed with the spring and echoed through the holler. Now, it's waiting. Waiting for someone to continue the tale of ''Hippy Holler''. Waiting for someone to revive the life and soul that still abounds. Is that someone you? *Buyer to verify all information including acreage, utility access, spring functionality, structure usability, Greenbelt status, and intended land use. *ALL SHOWINGS MUST BE SCHEDULED. NO ONE SHOULD BE ON PROPERTY WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT*
