72 Acres of Off-Grid Mountain Land Await Your Homestead

Acreage For Sale in South Pittsburg, TN

Escape to your private mountain-top homestead on the beautiful Cumberland Plateau, just 45 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and a short drive to the charming town of South Pittsburg. This remarkable property offers the ultimate opportunity for sustainable, off-grid living, with infrastructure already in place to realize your homestead dream.

Thoughtfully designed for self-sufficiency, the property features dual water systems with two main lines—one for well water and one for rain collection—both filtered to 5 microns and fully interchangeable. Two cisterns provide a combined capacity of 7,000 gallons, ensuring a reliable water source. Newly installed Source hydro panels (March 2025) produce an average of 4.5 gallons of drinkable water per day, with a transferable warranty for added peace of mind.

Power is supplied by a state-of-the-art solar system, allowing comfortable living while reducing your environmental footprint. Water lines extend to gardens and pastures, complete with sprinklers and rain mains reaching the upper orchard. The two large gardens have produced a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and berries over the years, while the young orchard—including pecan, plum, and persimmon trees—already yielded 10 bushels of peaches last season, promising future harvests.

An expertly built workshop provides space for hobbies or projects, and three 12x12 buildings (West, Central, and East) offer insulated storage or temporary living quarters. Two additional unfinished foundations are ready to become guest cabins or family retreats. The chicken coop, designed for free-ranging birds within the fenced orchard, is prepped with power and water and offers room for expansion.

This unique homestead-in-progress is ready for the next visionary owner to complete and enjoy a truly self-sufficient lifestyle atop the Cumberland Plateau.
