We did quite a bit of research on this property and with the entire home, barn, and sheds being in a FEMA flood zone and the house being sold as is we attempted to negotiate a price we were comfortable with. Unfortunately, the seller was firm on the asking price and we didn't pursue a full price offer. It was a beautiful property and we really liked it.
Dang that stinks. Yes the first thought in my head was this is flood zone big time. The creek and the valley...could potentially be a big disaster at some point. The property was absolutely gorgeous, just think the price was a bit too high.
Curious - what flood level? inches or feet? It would also be beneficial to know how long it's been since the property experienced that level of flooding, or if they are attributing the risk to future development increasing run-off downstream, etc.
and did you see any high water marks from prior flooding? Everything is a risk -whether its potential fires, earthquakes, tornados or hurricanes so it seems like a worthwhile option.
Omg that’s amazing, I know it maybe a bit expensive per acre, but look at those acres, the house is beautiful too, by the time you have a few cockerels you won’t hear the road noise lol, if I lived in the USA, then I would love that, nothing like that in the UK, think hard on this one guys, the dogs loved it too looking at them, best wishes x
The Best one Yet! If I wanted to move! I'd be checking this one out! That price has a home, barns, water, pasture, woods, Cool Tree house, and lots of potential! Nice manageable size!! Feels Good! Dogs look Content also!
YOU GUYS. The more I’m watching this the more I’m seeing the potential. That old barn wood is worth a lot of money. The house looked livable. I’m not sure what amount you offered but I would really consider this one if it’s still available. I know it’s a flood zone but man...this could be an AMAZING property
@@TheKraemerLife gahhh😣 thats such a bummer. We are headed to NE Alabama/NW Georgia/Chattanooga area on Wednesday to look at a few places. The market is ridiculous right now. Seems like everything I’ve looked at with a decent amount of land needs a Bull dozer to come with it. Crazy times.
Why would flood insurance be staggering? It's not in an urban area. It's not on the coast or adjacent to a major river, nor is it downstream from cities with inconsistent zoning requirements that allow way too much concrete and create flash flood conditions. They said at the highest flood point, the creek could reach 120 feet wide. That is a once in a century event.
16:26 ... WOW! That's an old banana seat bike. Haven't seen one of those in over 50 years. Those bike's date back to the 60's at least. Had one when I was a kid during the 60's. Love to have one just to fix up and restore.
I have lived through a flood and lost everything. I don't blame you for passing on this one, no matter how pretty it is. I will never move back to a flood zone.
A creek ran through it and that is the point. What you wanted. That creek is going to rise during high water run off to be expected. Build a bridge to the back 20 acres and put a house on the hillside with a view. The other two you could rent out to air bnb peeps. Once the property is renovated that could go for much more than asking price. Best property I have seen you look at.
Love that property. The water isn't a big deal. Build a walking bridge over it on the side for when nthe water gets high and you can park on the ther side. Check our arms family homestead. They have a creek bigger then that one that floods soemtimes and they have a bridge that they drive an ATV over.
I like this one. I have 26 acres with 9 pastured and the rest forested. Wish I had a creek and a cool tree house. That’s an amazing greenhouse space. 😍
I don't know, you guys. It's looking pretty good. Yes, you have the road noise, but if you consider building something, later, further back, it could be idyllic. The current house could be usable relatively quickly as you get settled. The barn and other structures might be salvageable as useful - or at the very least, to reclaim that beautiful weathered wood for what you want. I agree, you would want some sort of bridge over the creek. You wrote in your Cons - flood zone. Is that because of the creek, or is it actually in a classified flood plain/zone due to other larger rivers and run-off? If it's in a classified flood plain (yearly, 2-year, 5-year, etc.), that might be a deal killer for me. Maps should be available that show frequency with high and low levels. But, your video showed some gorgeous land.
I really liked that property very well laid out lots of our buildings. Just that creek you have to cross especially after av hard East Tennessee rain. But r could easily be fixed
Goodness. How much price gap did u have. So much potential and it’s beautiful. Think I would have to consider this again seriously. With price of land and properties I thought the price reasonable. Even the dogs loved it
This one was very rich in homesteading resources! Especially if the materials in the barns are included. I like your idea of creating a little village for extra income. Have you asked when it flooded last and how bad was it?
I can't believe you let this property go with that beautiful creek and beautiful landscape. The house was very nice and the barn had a lot of valuable things. The wood alone was worth a lot of money and the price was right and a great deal. The property that you bought needs a lot of work and repairs and is not as beautiful as this one. This property was worth every penny and more.
Seriously seems great! And I would totally rent the tree house cabin! So many possibilities! You could rent out the house while you build your own further back if you want!?
I like it all except the road noise. If you put the house on the other side it wouldn't be so bad though. Love the creek! Build a cute little covered bridge over it. That would be so charming.
This has to be the prettiest one so far. The amount of useable wood is impressive. The area that was sandy you might be able to dredge out and actually make a swimming hole. Since it said house and barn, maybe they would come down some on the price since it really isn't livable yet and the barn could be shored up some as well. The tree house looks fine but the decking and stairs need replacing. I ait eagerly to hear your decision. Have a Blessed day.
We attempted negotiations but the seller was firm on his asking price. We didn't come to an agreement on that so we walked away. It was very pretty though and had a ton of potential.
I like this property too, especially the water and the tree house... but you really have to weigh...flood zone, wow, you could be wiped out in a heartbeat...thanks for taking us along though, may God bless your search
This is the best!!!! All that wood barn could be reused to build your bridge. Live in the main house as you build your house way in the back where it was quite. Then use all the front area, the main house as a store, close to the traffic sounds, as your selling place, and added rentals for camping and RV park. Let us know more info about the flooding zone. What is expected or does it flood all the time. That would be the only negative issue, flooding. GOD bless you both!
When looking into it it was classified as Zone A and the flood zone was the lower two acres. The surrounding area is prone to flooding and we saw a few videos of that creek flooding out over the highway.
You need to do more research what river is it in the flood zone of. And when did it last flood How bad was it, they are the sort of questions I would ask, I would imagine that it was only the low lying area that floods not the whole property. Looking at the buildings I could not see a flood marks so it could be that it will flood every 50 to a 100 years. With all the buildings on it and a liveable house I would imagine its a fair price for the area.
We did research it for days after viewing and weeks before posting it. We saw this creek had flooded a few times in the past few decades the worse came up and over the road. The home was 'as is' and needed major work on the foundation.
This place is a keeper, honestly. It's got a nice house, that cool treehouse, two barns, and a root cellar. The road noise is annoying by the house, but it wasn't even noticeable out in the fields. The first thing I'd do is move the house deeper into the property to cancel some of that road noise. Being that close to a road would be great if you wanted to do a market garden or start a business. Lots of potential customers.
@@dougn4942 I think a prefab house would be easy to build deeper into the property. And it would be a great opportunity to set it up off grid with solar, plus there are several eco toilets for inside a house that would be great as well. I would probably pay to have a spring drilled since that type of land usually has aquifers underneath.
We wouldn't live by the road but wouldn't move the home either just build what we wanted where we want it. The biggest issue was that you had to cross a creek every time you wanted to get to your land...normally not a big deal but if/when it floods you are stuck.
You guys are great👊😎❤ I just love the dogs too. 😂🐕🐕🐕 it's a good little property, but lots of work needs done on those structures uhg... need an army to fix it up... I've always wanted to build a bridge 👊😎😂 would be fun... and ya the road noise would be tough... the dogs have a good vibe, so that's a plus. 👊😎 you'd need a tractor, attachments ect. But a fun place to start out... we're back home now...need my heart fixed first... then see where the market is in the spring.... god bless and god speed 👊😎
Yes, the treehouse was not built safely and the whole thing shook when you walked on it...the home was as is and needed foundation work but it was a small home so not a huge project. We enjoyed the property and we're sad it didn't work out to make an agreement on.
just looked it up on zillow. didn't realize how close it was to the road. That road noise would get to me after a while. no peace and quiet there. such a shame. beautiful piece of property.
This one's pretty good. Neighbors are pretty close to the barn though. Love that the creek goes through the property and not just along the border between. Seems big enough to not dry out in the summer. The old style stove (retro) is cool. How is the barn structure? Solid or tear down? Take the bike out for a spin! Shoot some hoops! Be well from Canada 🇨🇦
It was a beautiful property and yes, neighbors were very close to the house and barn. The creek was an all year creek so I think you'd have a good flow all year.
When we where looking for our property we found a house and land that ticked all our boxes but negotiations fell through the buyer wouldn't budge and we didn't want to pay his price. It was so dissapointing but two weeks later we found the a much better property the seller accepted our first offer and the looking was over. Be encouraged it will happen.
I really like this piece of property! That old barn could be updated to a cool house.that creek is to die for. Its pretty common to have cords like that across creeks in Tn.
Hi there I've been watching your property journey now from a while this place is by far the nicest of all that we've seen please view it again it's the one for you the minute the video started I got a good feeling about the place even the dogs like it lot of potential it's got the KRAMER LIFE written all over it so beautiful go for it hope you do stunning.good luck from the UK
Put a value on all the structures, a value on the creek, a value on the acreage that has been cleared, power available, septic tank, ect. What does the price per acre turn out to be?
Apparently you did what I suggested so what price did you put on the cost per acre. When listing your cons, you listed High Cost per acre. What do you consider high?
We take multiple things into consideration but land similar in the same county that we also have viewed was half of not 1/3 per acre as this...they all varied with out buildings and conditions so it is up to opinion on what you hold most value to.
Arms family has a driveway crossing like that. They show it their videos all the time. A few times a year they park on the on the other side of it when they know the weather is going to be bad. They are in Oklahoma. Maybe ask them about it.
I think that it is the not having another option to safely leave or take care of your animals. If we were able to have agreed on a price then the first thing would have been to put in a bridge for at minimum an ATV.
Might want to consider becoming real estate agents and traveling the states for a living showing the land. Seems like you enjoy it. The searching and roaming the landscape is fun fulfilling experience for you. Are you there yet? Lol. Tree house was cool. Now I'm not sure if it is in this video because I watched three. Oh boy.
If I didn't already work full time, maybe..I love real estate and looking at properties but we are looking to settle down in our own place. Hopefully our videos are at least helpful to others searching! Yes, this was the one with a treehouse, lol
@@TheKraemerLife but you have a full-size truck? 120 feet means the water is barely an inch high for much of that distance. There is no evidence of major erosion along with the parts of the creek we were able to see to suggest that it runs very high at all, let alone goes over the banks, on a yearly basis and there would certainly be a warning of such a large storm system to prepare ahead of time?
3 года назад+1
Nice place, a shame the seller wasn't willing to negotiate with you. The creek, for me, was a big plus, & the buildings seem like they're on higher ground, but you walked it so maybe a washed out dirt path across the creek might be a problem? I'm not sure. Price is a bit high, but you have pasture, a source of wood, water, and fixable structures. It's better than that last swamp you looked at. 🙂
LOL, agreed. The land here was in great condition. The biggest issue for us was that the only accessible point to the property was on the small side (2 acres) that was in the flood zone and you had to cross the creek to get to the rest. Most days no issue but if/when it floods major concern, at least for us.
It's still available. We tried to negotiate with the seller, but he FIRM at his price. You can sign up and get the property information listing -- see the description for details. Good luck.
Have you ever seen thos park bridges made of steel? The army uses them too. You're a veteran right? The water can go over them but the traction is always there, and the bridge never rots. Besides, that creek would never get that high. The category "flood zone" is frightening, but I'm 73 and I have lived in flood zones and as long as your house is up a bit, it's no big deal. The worst places for flood zones are flat areas like around Houston TX. As long as your property has hills, you can build with some elevation and just enjoy the fertile land after a heavy rain. :-)
Well, I have watched all your house hunting videos, and made numerous comments, some where I had concerns as to what you are looking for and what your criteria is. This is double my East Tennessee acreage, and at the same price. I have a metal hay barn and an older stable/barn. Half my acreage is woods on hills, but I have a hand made virgin growth cabin on mine. This is a lot of land and buildings for the price, plus, the creek is a huge plus for you. I hope you are able to fulfill your needs with this property. If not, as they say in Appalachia l “bless your heart”. Bon chance!
This one met what we were looking for but the flood zone and repairs needed did not justify the asking price, for us. We made that decision and are comfortable with it because we know what we are comfortable with building and what we can afford. Thanks for sharing about your property.
That's a gorgeous piece of property. So many things to like about it, especially the creek, the treehouse and the total bonus of having a huge pile of lumber and building materials included. There were more than enough doors and windows to put together an awesome greenhouse or cabin. It just made you want to get started on it. Too bad about the flooding, but if crossing that creek is the only way to get to the house, it could leave you pretty trapped on one side or the other. Looked like there were lots of other primo building sites though. Get away from the neighbors more.
Yeah, all great points and things we took into account but the only way to access 90% was to pass through the the creek. If and when it flooded it would be a huge concern for us knowing that we'd have animals there.
lol thats kinda true. At our house, all we hear is roosters crowing , hens singing their egg laying songs, and the goats *& pigs bahhhhing and snorting real loud when they know it feeding time and they think we arent moving fast enough 🤣
Are there any other channel like this one? Land searching channels? If so what are their names? Also where did you get your inspiration to start this channel?
I think they just want you tube views. Property here has increased over 10% in the last year, lumber is up 280%, but they don’t want to pay asking price. Plus,they have zero experience in homesteading or what time and what cost it takes to maintain property. I wish them the best, but......."
@@normp.3657 If you listen to Nates comments on other videoes, he says somethings are to much work to do.I don't think they are serious on buying or even homesteading. Time to go home.
Is this the one you hinted at on Instagram a couple weeks back that you had not shown yet? It’s very nice, seems perfect for what you want. Was it after seeing this one you decided to look at small properties?
I'm a little iffy on shaky heights so the treehouse isn't quite my thing (but the inside looked neat) (but I would never forget that I wasn't on the ground). But, the creek was about as perfect as it could be, and the house (20's? 30's?) is one of my favorite old house styles. And, a farm store?!? So neat. But, the flood zone thing.... and road noise.... and cost..... you hit those nails on the head.
There tree house was a cool surprise, the creek was almost perfect had it not been in a flood zone, the home was 30's 'as is' in need of TLC and foundation work. A farm store is what I would turn it into if we'd have bought it because it was right off the highway.
We thought and hoped for the same. Our realtor checked with the seller who has already tried to negotiate a private driveway from the back side neighbors - they would not allow it. We tried to make this one work. But it's not in our future for now. It was cool for sure. -Nate
Maybe look at properties with lower price that you feel comfortable with payments. Or buy just land with 10 acres or less and no buildings. This way you can build what you like. Most of the buildings in all these properties you have looked at have been in bad shape.
We did quite a bit of research on this property and with the entire home, barn, and sheds being in a FEMA flood zone and the house being sold as is we attempted to negotiate a price we were comfortable with. Unfortunately, the seller was firm on the asking price and we didn't pursue a full price offer. It was a beautiful property and we really liked it.
Go for it! Is the house livable? There’s a lot of gorgeous building sites for a home and places to park your RV.
Dang that stinks. Yes the first thought in my head was this is flood zone big time. The creek and the valley...could potentially be a big disaster at some point. The property was absolutely gorgeous, just think the price was a bit too high.
Sorry this isn’t the one due to the unwilling seller. It was a beautiful property with realistic fixable building and potential....D double darn!
Curious - what flood level? inches or feet? It would also be beneficial to know how long it's been since the property experienced that level of flooding, or if they are attributing the risk to future development increasing run-off downstream, etc.

I’ve looked at each property posted. This is the first one that I have felt compelled to comment. It is a great property!
Hello, thanks for your comments 😀 It really has so much potential
WOW! Out of everything you've seen and showed us, this one would be hard to pass up for me.
It was hard for us to pass on too but we were not in a position to purchase at asking.
@@TheKraemerLife Totally understandable!
Omg that’s amazing, I know it maybe a bit expensive per acre, but look at those acres, the house is beautiful too, by the time you have a few cockerels you won’t hear the road noise lol, if I lived in the USA, then I would love that, nothing like that in the UK, think hard on this one guys, the dogs loved it too looking at them, best wishes x

The property felt serene. Depends on how much is flood zone I would guess. It I liked the property and that creek - nice, very nice.
doesnt matter.. the cost for flood insurance would be staggering
Why would flood insurance be staggering? It's not in an urban area. It's not on the coast or adjacent to a major river, nor is it downstream from cities with inconsistent zoning requirements that allow way too much concrete and create flash flood conditions.
They said at the highest flood point, the creek could reach 120 feet wide. That is a once in a century event.
About two acres is in the flood zone...the buildings and property entrance.
We didn't check on the price for flood insurance so not sure how hight that might be
It was Zone A so 1% chance per year...I think 2006 was the latest that it several flooded over the road which was at least the 120 feet we mentioned.
I see lots of building materials in that old barn. Green house materials for one. This property is gorgeous!!
Yes, if they conveyed with the property would be a huge benefit for the house and green house
16:26 ... WOW! That's an old banana seat bike. Haven't seen one of those in over 50 years. Those bike's date back to the 60's at least. Had one when I was a kid during the 60's. Love to have one just to fix up and restore.
I have lived through a flood and lost everything. I don't blame you for passing on this one, no matter how pretty it is. I will never move back to a flood zone.
It is a huge risk, though it might only be on a small part of the land it was the only entrance/exit
❤Thank you for sharing beautiful place love you all God bless you
Another beautiful creek and that treehouse was so cool. Heaps of potential in this one.
Yes, the creek was awesome.
All that barn wood would be gold right now. Bummer the owner didn’t budge on the price. Love the property. That creek😍
Right, as you hear me going...leave everything...it is all materials, lol
I think yall are HOME !!! Beautiful property , almost perfect !!
We really wanted it to be home but it didn't work out.

All things we discussed and considered
East Tennessee has a lot of spirits in the land wish you the best of luck on your search a lot of old history in Tennessee
yes, and be sure to paint the porch ceiling haint blue
Yes you pair, IF YOU EVER REALLY INTEND TO BUY A PROPERTY this needs to be the ONE --- so go for it NOW!!!
LOL, we negotiated but didn't agree
I thought that was just in New Orleans...is that an all-over southern thing?
Yes, we love the history you find with each of the properties we search.
You looked at some very nice properties. This one THE BEST. Too bad about the road noise. Beautiful stream and cool tree house.
Over time they could add more trees/bushes to help buffer the road noise.
The tree house was a nice surprise
Agreed, there is so much to help with that...
You could do so much with that barnwood!!! And rest of the stuff!!
Absolutely, lots of materials.
Yep! The materials in the barns are worth the price of admission. For what it's worth, I like this one.
We didn't find out if they conveyed

This one was very rich in homesteading resources! Especially if the materials in the barns are included. I like your idea of creating a little village for extra income. Have you asked when it flooded last and how bad was it?
We did a ton of research but stopped after we learned the seller was firm on asking price. It was too big of a 'what if' for us to move forward.
I'm from Jersey here you would pay $299,000 for an 80' × 100' lot.!!!! On a slope with no city water or sewer!!! I. Telling u buy it!!
LOL, it is a bit different pricing for sure.
Love the tree house , I'd live in it in a heart beat.
Just create a rainwater catchment and a composting toilet and you could!

@@ciaobella8963 I'd do a prefab. Log cabin.
We wouldn't live by the road but wouldn't move the home either just build what we wanted where we want it. The biggest issue was that you had to cross a creek every time you wanted to get to your land...normally not a big deal but if/when it floods you are stuck.
Prefab are not allowed in that county. Stick built on site only.
This is by far the best property yet loving the creek and the pasture
Creek was one of the prettiest
You guys are great👊😎❤ I just love the dogs too. 😂🐕🐕🐕 it's a good little property, but lots of work needs done on those structures uhg... need an army to fix it up... I've always wanted to build a bridge 👊😎😂 would be fun... and ya the road noise would be tough... the dogs have a good vibe, so that's a plus. 👊😎 you'd need a tractor, attachments ect. But a fun place to start out... we're back home now...need my heart fixed first... then see where the market is in the spring.... god bless and god speed 👊😎
Yes, the treehouse was not built safely and the whole thing shook when you walked on it...the home was as is and needed foundation work but it was a small home so not a huge project. We enjoyed the property and we're sad it didn't work out to make an agreement on.
@@TheKraemerLife I hear ya.
There are lots of items and wood here. The land is beautiful and the stream also.
Yes, loads of materials and beautiful land
The wood of the old barn is worth so much!
just looked it up on zillow. didn't realize how close it was to the road. That road noise would get to me after a while. no peace and quiet there. such a shame. beautiful piece of property.
It really was a pretty piece of land
This is my favorite that you have looked at!
It was top three for us! So pretty!
@@TheKraemerLife Are the other two still an option?
This one's pretty good. Neighbors are pretty close to the barn though. Love that the creek goes through the property and not just along the border between. Seems big enough to not dry out in the summer. The old style stove (retro) is cool. How is the barn structure? Solid or tear down? Take the bike out for a spin! Shoot some hoops! Be well from Canada 🇨🇦
It was a beautiful property and yes, neighbors were very close to the house and barn. The creek was an all year creek so I think you'd have a good flow all year.
So much usable land and the lumber alone in that barn that’s iffy is pretty darn good. Prefab bridge is doable.
Agreed, loads of materials.
I love this property
It was so pretty
When we where looking for our property we found a house and land that ticked all our boxes but negotiations fell through the buyer wouldn't budge and we didn't want to pay his price. It was so dissapointing but two weeks later we found the a much better property the seller accepted our first offer and the looking was over.
Be encouraged it will happen.
The same thing happened to me with the last property I purchased, I am a big believer of everything happens for a reason
I really like this piece of property! That old barn could be updated to a cool house.that creek is to die for. Its pretty common to have cords like that across creeks in Tn.
It really was a beautiful property.
THIS PLACE LOOKS PROMISING
We thought so too
i liked it ....... have a great weekend you two
Hope your weekend was great!
@@TheKraemerLife had a nice quiet weekend was great thanks
Hi there I've been watching your property journey now from a while this place is by far the nicest of all that we've seen please view it again it's the one for you the minute the video started I got a good feeling about the place even the dogs like it lot of potential it's got the KRAMER LIFE written all over it so beautiful go for it hope you do stunning.good luck from the UK
We were there for well over three hours and discussed it for days afterwards. We were not able to make the asking price work and seller was firm.
Put a value on all the structures, a value on the creek, a value on the acreage that has been cleared, power available, septic tank, ect. What does the price per acre turn out to be?
Apparently you did what I suggested so what price did you put on the cost per acre. When listing your cons, you listed High Cost per acre. What do you consider high?
Yes, we did all of this, we also consider what major repairs are needed too
We take multiple things into consideration but land similar in the same county that we also have viewed was half of not 1/3 per acre as this...they all varied with out buildings and conditions so it is up to opinion on what you hold most value to.
I like it! You could make a pallet bridge over the creek!! :o)
If we'd have purchased it it would have needed to hold at least an ATV so we could transport supplies if it flooded.
Worth the price! Beautiful
Beautiful
My new fav and the 🐕🐕 seemed to love it.
They did, had a great afternoon
Your fur babies seemed to really love this place.
They really had a good time
Arms family has a driveway crossing like that. They show it their videos all the time. A few times a year they park on the on the other side of it when they know the weather is going to be bad. They are in Oklahoma. Maybe ask them about it.
I think that it is the not having another option to safely leave or take care of your animals. If we were able to have agreed on a price then the first thing would have been to put in a bridge for at minimum an ATV.
Here in Panama, they use old American school bus frames to build bridges.
I believe I have to find a way to own it it’s breath taking
It is still available 😀
Might want to consider becoming real estate agents and traveling the states for a living showing the land. Seems like you enjoy it. The searching and roaming the landscape is fun fulfilling experience for you. Are you there yet? Lol. Tree house was cool. Now I'm not sure if it is in this video because I watched three. Oh boy.
If I didn't already work full time, maybe..I love real estate and looking at properties but we are looking to settle down in our own place. Hopefully our videos are at least helpful to others searching! Yes, this was the one with a treehouse, lol
The boys (dogs lol) are enjoying the tour shame you couldn’t negotiate cool tree house. It’s a pretty property that’s for sure. Good luck 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️👍👍
It really was. Thanks
The property looks really great
Yes, that was a beautiful property.
I am sold at the tree house! I would have to make it my art studio!
I said it could be my office
You'll fix it ,💞 first things first explore,💕💕
So much to fix and explore
We live in a wetland and a fema zone here in Alaska. It’s not so bad just a few extra steps 🤩
What are the extra steps? And isn't the flood insurance expensive?
We are nervous about a flood zone when there is no other option to gain access but through
@@TheKraemerLife but you have a full-size truck? 120 feet means the water is barely an inch high for much of that distance. There is no evidence of major erosion along with the parts of the creek we were able to see to suggest that it runs very high at all, let alone goes over the banks, on a yearly basis and there would certainly be a warning of such a large storm system to prepare ahead of time?
Nice place, a shame the seller wasn't willing to negotiate with you. The creek, for me, was a big plus, & the buildings seem like they're on higher ground, but you walked it so maybe a washed out dirt path across the creek might be a problem? I'm not sure. Price is a bit high, but you have pasture, a source of wood, water, and fixable structures. It's better than that last swamp you looked at. 🙂
LOL, agreed. The land here was in great condition. The biggest issue for us was that the only accessible point to the property was on the small side (2 acres) that was in the flood zone and you had to cross the creek to get to the rest. Most days no issue but if/when it floods major concern, at least for us.
I would buy it asap!! Its perfect for me!!!!
It's still available. We tried to negotiate with the seller, but he FIRM at his price. You can sign up and get the property information listing -- see the description for details. Good luck.
Have you ever seen thos park bridges made of steel? The army uses them too. You're a veteran right? The water can go over them but the traction is always there, and the bridge never rots. Besides, that creek would never get that high. The category "flood zone" is frightening, but I'm 73 and I have lived in flood zones and as long as your house is up a bit, it's no big deal. The worst places for flood zones are flat areas like around Houston TX. As long as your property has hills, you can build with some elevation and just enjoy the fertile land after a heavy rain. :-)
Yes, we have seen them we were pricing out steel beams and that can get very expensive.
Well, I have watched all your house hunting videos, and made numerous comments, some where I had concerns as to what you are looking for and what your criteria is. This is double my East Tennessee acreage, and at the same price. I have a metal hay barn and an older stable/barn. Half my acreage is woods on hills, but I have a hand made virgin growth cabin on mine. This is a lot of land and buildings for the price, plus, the creek is a huge plus for you. I hope you are able to fulfill your needs with this property. If not, as they say in Appalachia l “bless your heart”. Bon chance!
This one met what we were looking for but the flood zone and repairs needed did not justify the asking price, for us. We made that decision and are comfortable with it because we know what we are comfortable with building and what we can afford. Thanks for sharing about your property.
This is a awesome land and nit bad buildings..👍🇺🇲
Beautiful land and loads of material
This one looks like a winner😊 and I like Kate's idea for cabins❤
Until I learned the whole area flooded...that would be a sad day.
@@TheKraemerLife Yes it would. Darn, I thought it was the one! On to the next😊
I’m looking for something like this but not so many acres love it live on farm when I was a kid
Those sellers are going to get their price. I think this property is stunning.
I hope they do.
That's a gorgeous piece of property. So many things to like about it, especially the creek, the treehouse and the total bonus of having a huge pile of lumber and building materials included. There were more than enough doors and windows to put together an awesome greenhouse or cabin. It just made you want to get started on it. Too bad about the flooding, but if crossing that creek is the only way to get to the house, it could leave you pretty trapped on one side or the other. Looked like there were lots of other primo building sites though. Get away from the neighbors more.
Yeah, all great points and things we took into account but the only way to access 90% was to pass through the the creek. If and when it flooded it would be a huge concern for us knowing that we'd have animals there.
Build a bridge.plus what is in the barn is worth a fortune these days.turn the treehouse into a BB
First thing I thought of was a treehouse rental with ATV to take around the property and through the creek to your car...I'd book it.
Once you get farm animals you won’t hear the hyw noise 😉
lol thats kinda true. At our house, all we hear is roosters crowing , hens singing their egg laying songs, and the goats *& pigs bahhhhing and snorting real loud when they know it feeding time and they think we arent moving fast enough 🤣
😂🤣
Best timed animal noises ever 🤣😂
Are there any other channel like this one?
Land searching channels?
If so what are their names?
Also where did you get your inspiration to start this channel?
Man, you guys are picky! :) Nice property. Seems to have most of what you want.
I think they just want you tube views. Property here has increased over 10% in the last year, lumber is up 280%, but they don’t want to pay asking price. Plus,they have zero experience in homesteading or what time and what cost it takes to maintain property. I wish them the best, but......."
@@normp.3657 If you listen to Nates comments on other videoes, he says somethings are to much work to do.I don't think they are serious on buying or even homesteading. Time to go home.
Wishing us the best but saying we are taking it for views...hmmm
Not the case but everyone has an opinion on it
Yes, we are picky...we do not deny that. It had pretty much everything except a way to get around the flood zone.
Beautiful property.
It really was!
Have a great weekend. Takecare. Bye. God bless. 🙏
Thanks, you too
barn full of treasures
The good kind too!
You may be over thinking this, just sayin....that stream was amazeballs!
Haven't heard that in years, made me giggle.
Is this the one you hinted at on Instagram a couple weeks back that you had not shown yet? It’s very nice, seems perfect for what you want. Was it after seeing this one you decided to look at small properties?
It was, we didn't post it until we knew we were not able to make a deal. We were bummed because we really loved it.
@@TheKraemerLife ❤️👍🏻 sorry you did not get it. Could tell you both liked it.
this just needs some loving and then it would love you right back
We loved it
I'm a little iffy on shaky heights so the treehouse isn't quite my thing (but the inside looked neat) (but I would never forget that I wasn't on the ground). But, the creek was about as perfect as it could be, and the house (20's? 30's?) is one of my favorite old house styles. And, a farm store?!? So neat. But, the flood zone thing.... and road noise.... and cost..... you hit those nails on the head.
There tree house was a cool surprise, the creek was almost perfect had it not been in a flood zone, the home was 30's 'as is' in need of TLC and foundation work. A farm store is what I would turn it into if we'd have bought it because it was right off the highway.
Nice, pretty property.
It was very nice
This one is beautiful!
It really is.
Perhaps that road beyond the trees is another access to avoid the creek? This place is really nice. I would have a hard time walking away from this...
We thought and hoped for the same. Our realtor checked with the seller who has already tried to negotiate a private driveway from the back side neighbors - they would not allow it. We tried to make this one work. But it's not in our future for now. It was cool for sure. -Nate
This one is sooo beautiful!!
Yes, it was
Love this property!
We did too!
Maybe look at properties with lower price that you feel comfortable with payments.
Or buy just land with 10 acres or less and no buildings. This way you can build what you like. Most of the buildings in all these properties you have looked at have been in bad shape.
Yes, we have looked at some doozies for sure 😂🤣
Are you using a certain app to guide your tour? (I think the FEMA flood zone would be a hurdle I couldn’t get over. )
We have used several apps, mostly free hunting apps I think we list them in this video and explain ruclips.net/video/BVZCLgU2y4c/видео.html
Hi guy i m telling youthis property is best one for you .go for it.goid luck .to much potential
We did go for it just fell short
