$55,000 needed to close on the land

We are located in a rural farming community five minutes off I-75, an hour from both Knoxville and Chattanooga. Exit 42 boasts a vineyard, Greek cafe and distillery, a quilt shop, and a family farm stand with grass fed beef, preserves and baked goods. There are dark night skies with a slight glow to the north and south (Athens and Cleveland). When clouds are low and heavy and at rush hour, the interstate sound is prominent. Most times you are more likely to hear barking dogs, donkeys and crowing roosters. Neighboring properties are hay fields, forest and two small homesteads, with Vuck Farm across the street!

The high meadows are clay loam, class two agricultural land, with anaerobic soils in the low meadows and a creek and spring fed wetland in the bottoms. The parcel has been hayed or grazed by cattle for decades. Other than buttercup in the north pastures and parrot feather in the larger spring, the land has few noxious weeds. Sycamore and hackberry grow along the creek and cedar along the fence rows, with specimen hickories, poplars and hornbeam at the smaller spring. Both springs are populated with ghostly stands of ash trees.
