3128 Browns Trace Rd, South Pittsburg, TN, 37380
About This Home
Escape to your private mountain-top homestead on the beautiful Cumberland Plateau, just 45 minutes from downtown Chattanooga and a short drive to the quaint town of South Pittsburg. This remarkable property offers the ultimate opportunity for sustainable, off-grid living with the infrastructure already in place to complete 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 completely interchangeable. Two cisterns provide an impressive 7,000-gallon combined capacity, ensuring a reliable water source. Newly installed Source hydro panels (March 2025) produce an average of 4.5 gallons of drinkable water per day, and the transferable warranty adds peace of mind. Power is supplied by a state-of-the-art solar system, allowing you to live comfortably while reducing your environmental footprint. Water lines extend to the 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—already yielding 10 bushels of peaches last season—includes pecan, plum, and persimmon trees promising future harvests. An expertly built workshop provides space for any hobby or project, and three 12x12 buildings (West, Central, and East) offer insulated storage or temporary living quarters. Two additional unfinished foundations await completion as guest cabins or family retreats. The chicken coop, designed for free-ranging birds within the fenced orchard, is prepped for power and water with room to expand. 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.
