75 acres crew. Plenty of resources online. Get yourself some chickens ( learn how to keep them safe and healthy), start a garden, compost your scraps. If you hunt, build a smoker...
Congrats OP.

With 6 acres you could hold a population of 15-20. That's a fun hunt once or twice a year with the kid/kids.brown bears, rattlers and other snakes, brown recluses and black widows

Still have 40,000 cash to get the driveway drivable and water/power/foundations ready. Plan on building an A frame for my mom and her dogs, we will build a cabin with 4 bed 3 baths right next to creek. Then there is a little place in the back that we are going to build a small cabin to rent out nightly during season. Eventually we will clear the ridge for 2 more cabins to rent out as well. Plan on renting them for 400/night. Most cabins around here rent anywhere from 500-1000 a NIGHT. Will repped everyone once off recharge, thx fellas.

It’s crazy cause the soil test people are booked out MONTHS in advance, my agent knew some people that got me bumped up. And they do around 3-4 property’s a DAY and charge 800. Mfers are rolling in the money.
Also my moms cabin will cost around 35,000, our cabin 75000-80000. Will use the land as collateral to get a good interest rate on however much we need to finish it. One thing I’m worried about is how much electric company is going to charge to get power there.

Congrats and fuk you lol. I'm the only person in my family that loves the mountains. The rest of them including my wife and her family are all beach people. When we were talking about moving my Tennessee idea got shut down almost immediately. Culturally where I live is much closer to Memphis than east TN but I just love the mountains
