[Homesteadingfamily] TN Homestead

Hi Y'all,

We got back from TN Yesterday from finalizing paperwork on our new property.
It is 9.23 ac with a 1/4ac stocked pond and plenty of deer.
We spent the past week looking it over. The cabin is unlivable. It is a 200 yr old cedar hewn log cabin with additions added onto three sides over the years. The additions are falling apart and need to be ripped off and redone. The cabin's previous owner's daughter was murdered in one of the additions, the well water needs to be tested and a water conditioner or purifier added.
We cleared about an 1/8th of an ac of trees and stocked about a chord of wood and enough young trees to build a woven fence in front to keep the quads from crossing through.
There is a barn about 14'x 12' that I had to level the dirt floor and redo. It now holds all my tools and equip I will need in the coming time there. We met all the neighbors around us and feel very comfortable there. They are nice and seem like they will be somewhat helpful. We were offered the use of of a tractor and bush hog. The other neighbors mother passed away this past summer and she loved to can foods so there is alot of items he wants to give/sell us when we get back.

We are in need of a mobile home to place to live in while we build our house. We are looking in a radius of about 150-200 mi from Jackson TN.
If anyone knows of anything the info would help.
If anyone lives around that part of the state The wife and I would love to buy you a cup of coffee and chat about the surroundings.
We are all excited and can't wait to get back to set up permanent house. We have a 36'Avion camper there we are using right now so we have SOMETHING but not quite suitable for long term living for us and the kids.
We brought up all of our stored foods, tools, clothes, and most of our camping and survival things. We have about another 14' Moving truck we could fill and it's all moved.
I have 2 jobs here in FL that I have to wait on for prob enough wood to build a 3 br frame for our house.

We are so excited we can't wait.

I will post pics soon,

JR
