Water­front prop­erty has always been in high demand, often con­sid­ered the great­est sell­ing fea­ture of any real estate list­ing.   As with many cov­eted items, it is this scarcity that makes it desired by many, but pos­sessed by few.   Let’s face it, devel­oped water­front prop­erty is a fixed lim­ited sup­ply, once it is gone, you just can’t cre­ate more.   Even within water­front prop­er­ties there is a vary­ing level of scarcity, with ponds/lakefront prop­er­ties being more com­mon than river­front prop­er­ties, in turn being more com­mon than ocean front prop­erty.   By this logic, the fol­low­ing prop­erty, with not one, not two, but three mag­nif­i­cent water­falls that are either located on or can be seen from within the prop­erty bound­aries, is there­fore truly a scarce nat­ural gem.

Nat­ural falling water is truly a won­drous thing to behold.   For those famil­iar with the prac­tice of Feng Shui, mov­ing water is dynamic, bustling, and often asso­ci­ated with such activ­i­ties as net­work­ing and com­mu­ni­ca­tions, and is con­sid­ered a sym­bol of a healthy finan­cial flow.  Imag­ine the tran­quil sounds of water cas­cad­ing down the moun­tain side, the air seem­ingly alive.   Many East­ern Philoso­phies highly regard this calm­ing effect, cit­ing neg­a­tive ions that occur from water­falls.  In ancient text­books on yoga, that ven­er­a­ble mys­tic dis­ci­pline of the East, it’s sug­gested that a stu­dent wish­ing to per­fect his body and mind through breath­ing exer­cises should prac­tice near a water­fall.  Nat­ural ion­iza­tion occurs near water­falls and can also be expe­ri­enced after a rain­storm.   Remem­ber how great the air around smelled after a rain­storm passed, how invig­o­rat­ing it felt?   Now imag­ine access to that rar­efied air any­time you want (not hav­ing to wait for mother nature’s timetable)

By now, I hope you under­stand the rar­ity, beauty, and even health pro­mot­ing aspects that a water­fall pro­vides.   So amaz­ing is the expe­ri­ence of behold­ing a water­fall that you will rarely find water­falls on pri­vate prop­er­ties as these spec­tac­u­lar pieces of land are snatched up by the gov­ern­ment and made into pub­lic parks.   Even rarer still, will one find one of these prop­er­ties up for sale, as in most cases, the own­ers real­ize what a rare gem they pos­sess and rather than sell, will pass it on to their chil­dren so that it remains in the fam­ily name.

The oppor­tu­ni­ties that this prop­erty presents are end­less.   You can keep it all to your­self as your own lit­tle sanc­tu­ary, a get­away spot that will make you for­get about the hus­tle and bus­tle of the city and all the stresses there.   You can make this prop­erty work for you, gen­er­at­ing money as a truly unique bed and break­fast, or even hire it out for wed­ding par­ties & receptions.

For those who have yet to expe­ri­ence the great state of Ten­nessee, here are some things to con­sider: no state income tax, a tem­per­ate cli­mate that allows you to enjoy four dis­tinct sea­sons, great nat­ural scenic attrac­tions, and good old south­ern hos­pi­tal­ity and cook­ing.  Win­ters are mild with the aver­age tem­per­a­ture of 40 degrees Fahren­heit. The sum­mer months are a prime time for out­door recre­ational activ­i­ties, with an aver­age tem­per­a­ture of 83 degrees Fahren­heit.  This prop­erty is located within 1 hr of both Nashville and Chat­tanooga, giv­ing rel­a­tively easy access to both major met­ro­pol­i­tan areas.   In fact, Ten­nessee boasts a cen­tral loca­tion and is only a day’s drive of 76 per­cent of the major United States mar­kets, such as Atlanta, St. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati.

By now the ques­tion on everyone’s mind is, “Well how much is this par­adise going to cost me?”  The own­ers have agreed to let this prop­erty go for the ask­ing price of $1.5 mil­lion.  Let’s put that in per­spec­tive for you:

For $1.5 mil­lion you can:

1)      Buy a sin­gle car (Bugatti Veryon)

2)      Have a 0.5% share of the Hope Diamond

3)      Have 7.5% of the fee for a pri­vate space flight to the inter­na­tional space station

4)      1.4% share of Pablo Picasso’s “Boy With A Pipe” painting

5)      0.000000013% of the Dal­las Cow­boys NFL Franchise

OR … you can have 202 acres of exquis­ite nat­ural beauty, com­plete with vis­tas of three breath-taking water­falls (one of which is within direct view of the pri­mary res­i­dence), a quaint trout pond (also within direct view of the pri­mary res­i­dence), 7 miles of road/trail, and a prop­erty that will lit­er­ally leave your guests speech­less.   Two other sur­prises await the new own­ers, the pre­vi­ous own­ers have built two addi­tional build­ings on the main com­pound (a 50’s gas sta­tion replica, and a circa 50’s style gen­eral store, with a total of 8 garages) that have delighted vis­i­tors, fam­ily, and friends alike.   Sounds like a bar­gain to me.

Pic­tures do not do this prop­erty jus­tice.   If you are seri­ously con­sid­er­ing this prop­erty for pur­chase, you must see this site in per­son and you will share in the amaze­ment that all those who have come before you have felt.
