Have you found your forever farm yet? I'm so tired of trying to find out where you are at in vlog number. The numbers aren't in sequence.
I'll be back after I finish, but a quick note about the hunter's blind. Hunter's put these at the edge of fields so they can see the deer when they are out early/daybreak in the field, not shooting in the woods typically. Deer bed down all over the place and hunters try to get up in their tree quietly before the deer start moving. A neighbor who is a land owner isn't typically a bad hunter. They want things safe as much as you do. Well, that's what I imagine anyway. We had a couple of tree stands right on our borders in a narrow line of trees (where they couldn't be plowed, and often a place for rocks and old implements besides a few trees). They looked out on their fields where they planted corn some years. I worried about it the first couple of years but gradually realized that they were a LOT more worried about us than we were about them.
And the barn foundation didn't worry me too much. Did wonder about the tractor :) Paint color doesn't tell the whole story, but maybe IH?
This one is pretty neat so I'm guessing it will end with "under contract". Trying to brace myself, haha. Getting emotionally invested :)
I agree about foundation that looks fixable
HA, nope...still available
I love that your dog came running straight back to you when it got hurt. Perfect reaction.
He is a good boy!
*I hear my grand father laughing in his grave for what I am about to comment*
For the love of God don't climb a gait on the open side climb on the hinged side you make it sag doing that. 👴
Thank you I didn’t know that
That’s what I thought of, too!
I'm always telling my kids that
My mother in law saw me start that one day on a gate that was chained, she almost took me over her knee and got a switch. They are made of the thinnest metal, and often get bent.
😂🤣😂🤣
I’m liking this one a lot, no creek but pond. Lots of woods, good amount of pasture. 🤞
It was so close.
I like this one. The pond is more than likely rain runoff, still, it is water and there might be a spring. I keep telling you the "kids" are goldens, they LOVE water. I have never met one who didn't. So where there is water, the "Kids" will be in it. LOL I like the way the 2 of you discuss things as you go along. I could see a garden and an orchard on this property. More than likely it has sold. I can't afford it, but I can still drool! (Grin) Thank you for sharing so much. Stay safe.
Floyd loves water but I a horrible swimmer...lol
@@TheKraemerLife Learn, love, he can teach you the basics. (Grin)
Ground hogs is likely your holes, they link them under ground. Gorgeous views. House likely gives you electric, septic and water a huge savings. Dogs clearly love it.
That is what I think. I have several on my property.
I agree. I was searching the comments to see if someone else had commented groundhog before I do.
@@ramblinrosecottage5983 Turtles also make big holes near water.
House didn't have a kitchen or bathroom, so no electric, septic, or water piped to it.
@@TheKraemerLife would be perfect for an off grid set up. Compost bucket toilet, solar, rain catchment for water, woodstove for cooking in winter, propane bbq for cooking in summer.
It is a beautiful piece of land with great views!
Agreed
Nice peaceful piece of land. Hope that pond is spring fed.
The owner wasn't sure
GORGEOUS - looks like a landscape painting!
It does!
Love this property. Looks like everything you want but a creek, there are no criks here, must be a Portland feature. We do have gullies but no goalies except in field sports. Sorry, I couldn't resist! LOL. Seriously this is the best property you have seen except for the price and that seems to be the new normal.
Creek or Crick depends on the day as long as it has the flowing water I so want!
Thanks to greedy realtors...they are worse then used car salesman and attorneys...they are not needed
Keep in mind that TN gets a lot of rain. Harvesting rain water is also an option.
Very true!
We are really enjoying your property search videos. It’s difficult to find the right one but keep persevering. It’s out there for you. It will feel right.
Thank you! Will do! We are taking a break right now but will be back at it soon.
This is beautiful property. We are closing on our house soon. I can't wait to begin our search. Our property search won't be like this definitely more off grid, but we are excited none the less to begin our new adventure. Good luck I hope you find your perfect forever home! Those pups definitely want to run. ATB Amy & Andy
So exciting! Best of luck on your search and I hope that you find what you are looking for.
a solar fountain for that pond would probably clear up the algae. It is BEAUTIFUL.
very pretty
Maybe algae eating fish added to pond ?
Access USGS topo maps online. They'll show springs.
Thanks, we checked it out
the babies are loving it!!
They had a blast
Very nice, love the sounds of No Noise!
Me too!
This guy should live in Town !!
What town?
Oh guys I sure hope you all have found your forever home. It really looks like a good property and it seems to check all your boxes except for the creek. I'm hoping and praying you find out what you need to make an offer. God Bless and Love to you both.
Thank you so much!
Nice property. The old house is still perfect as poultry barn.
Interesting idea for a use of an old home.
The USGS offers topo maps that show sources of water both free flowing and intermittent. They also show any buildings present when the survey was done. I haven't checked online, but they used to offer paper "quadrangle" maps. These are really nice, heavy paper, poster sized and were real cheap. I taught school and used them often. Good luck!!!
Thanks for the info!
Beautiful place. Them puppies loved it.
I think your dogs like this one❤️ and beautiful views.
HA, they really did have fun!
Ok I have watched all the properties and I really love this one.
It was beautiful
From the heavy growth around pond, I would suspect a spring. Might just need a good cleaning out. Once pond is full, bring in catfish to clear algae.
Absolutely, I think a stocked pond is a must
Have you thought over that last property? Lime stone, beautiful country and nice house, well kept barn the guy redid, even though no water, there has to be something somewhere, he had animals on it, they know where the water is
No, he had an offer on it the day he showed it to us...it is under contract
You do a good job by showing and analysing the properties Best of luck for finding your dream homestead Love from India
Thank you, appreciate that
Really awesome property. Good luck. They seem to be going quickly here in Tennessee.
Yes, some of them are going really fast
Beautiful property! Looks like you would have water run off in low areas, and down that hill. We have two very large ponds, when it rains hard, ours turns brown because of the soil washing in until it settles. Most of the time our water is clear. We have fish, and you hear frogs at night in the spring and summer.
That sounds pretty :)
This one is fantastic! There are safe environmental treatments you can do to the pond to clear it up. Dont tear down the house restore it if possible its charming. Good luck with your searcs
I liked the footprint but would have to add a kitchen and bathroom and raise all the doorways. It was like a doll house :) Very charming!
Enough already, this is the one that you Can make your own w/I having to break your back or your bank.
It would break the bank account little :)
Love this one. Absolutely beautiful. I know no creek but you have pond. Think this is the best one yet. With prices ever increasing (and no end in sight to this trend) seems a good sound property. Love the woods and with timber prices skyrocketing could be very good to recoup some of your initial investment. Fingers crossed for you. Ps. Solar pump fountain in the pond will cure algae is short time. As far as water goes by felling and sale of timber you could re do well.
Yes, the timber is a bonus for sure
Wonk wonk. The land is gorgeous!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
So pretty
Ooh, this one is pretty. "Bucolic" is the word that springs to mind. The ratio of pasture to woods seems like a nice feature as well.
A bucolic setting indeed
I just saw you helping the Holilsrs earlier this morning. Justice wanted to send a loving message that you should be very careful to hsve your future home check for mold and mildew Behind the Walls and behind any areas in the cupboards or under the floor.
Thanks for that, we absolutely will because mold causes so much damage to your health.
This is fabulous
Beautiful property
The pond gives you a water source. Something feeds it. Looks like there could be seasonal water shed. Maybe if you could locate the source, it could also be "cultivated."
This one is so pretty . Good luck! This is the most positive one I've seen so far. Be well from Canada 🇨🇦
It was pretty, really want the creek...sooo close
Loving your search and your dogs are lovely 😍
Ah, thank you so much!
Best one yet!
It was quite beautiful
Enjoy watching your video
Thanks
You could dig a pond at the bottom of that grass slope, just before you went down to the gully. It would capture lots of rain runoff. That one really is nice. Yes, those views are incredible. Good luck.
Interesting idea, beautiful property
You were sounding pretty positive about this one. I like it
We really liked it, bummer it didn't have a creek or three
Love the driveway!
It is romantic then you see the land, so pretty
Look like groundhog holes, to me. The reason the deer stand is where it is, is so they can shoot deer once the deer are in the clearing, not in the wooded area.
Animal of some sort.
This property is beautiful!
So pretty
Nice property. You can build uphill ponds that would give good pressure but creeks are better.
I'm really enjoying the search.
Yes, I think a creek is such a huge benefit to a homestead.
This is a good one. Hope no one else snaps it up.
It is still available
Love the map in the corner!
Thanks
That thing that got in the dogs paw is called a kuckle burr and when they get one it helps them for you to remove it
Yes, they get them everywhere. We have got quite good at removing them :)
Love those woods...
It was a great mix
I love that place. The homesite looks like it's right out of a postcard. Wouldn't take much to spruce up that pond area, maybe make it bigger. Following along with your search makes me wish I was looking for property again. Sure must be mild winters around there, no snow and still green grass. Around here you almost need snowshoes to get around.
This is our first winter here but it is super mild. It has snowed twice but is gone pretty quickly
Beautiful property
Yes it was
That is Beautiful!!!!!
So beautiful!
Those vines are fox grape vines
Are they edible?
@@TheKraemerLife wild game live off of them during harsh winters, deer turkey and grouse all eat all they can find , they are a very important plant in the woodlands of America for wild game , yes you could eat them when ripe but not unless you really wanted to try to dodge the big seed in the middle and it is hard as a rock.
This is a great time to talk to an owner or neighbor... so many questions. I think the house is darling and wouldn't tear it down if possibly it could be used. That would mostly depend on the foundation I guess. These houses and barns that are so far from the road are so different than around here. In the winter (here) it would be miserable to try to get out, especially in an emergency. We've trucked in a lot of gravel and need to do more. Unless they've had livestock recently on that property then they've kept it mowed or hayed. I don't see ruts in the fields or to the house and barn. There wasn't a creek but it was well draining which is a lot better than likely to be flooded (like that other property).
And the barn was very nice, very useful. I only saw the slightest rot (that you showed) and I do think the foundation wall is salvageable. Easy for me to say, as I have people for that. ( :) )
I keep pausing the video because I don't want to get to the end where it is sold.
What?? no mention of a sale. The dream lives on. haha.
HAHA, thanks for coming along with us on our journey...your comments sound like a lot of the conversations we have while we are walking around properties.
Pretty property and not too hilly!
It had a good roll
Its wild grape vines
Are they edible?
We use to eat a few of them they are little sour. In a survival situation you can cut vine close to ground and actually get water from them most of the year!
Now that’s a beautiful place! Love the views. Crazy vines in the trees. The holes are interesting. I wonder how they got water in the house. Did you see any pipes going into the house?☘️❤️👵🏻❤️☘️Getting closer.
The house didn't have a kitchen or bathroom so my guess is they didn't
very nice property. good luck!
Thanks
We call it a seasonal creek, if it rains we have water lol, cool place
I've heard them be called wet weather creeks, seasonal....very beautiful place
and.... if you want to hear water you can enlarge the pond a bit, put a big gaudy fountain in it (gotta have some fun smirks in life).
🤣😂🤣😂😂😭
you left us hanging! thinking of an offer back on dec 11... update at end please!!
HAHA, we have left you all hanging since Nov, lol. We did not make an offer on this property
love it
It was beautiful
By far my favorite one you’ve shown! I would love to know what area this was! Fingers crossed for you guys if you put an offer in 🤞🏼
No creek, no offer...beautiful property though
@@TheKraemerLife hold out for what you want. If this is your forever home than don’t settle 👍🏼👌🏼
Happy dogs!! I like this property, but I liked the last one, too; the one with a nice house, but no creek or pond. If I recall correctly, this one is a little more money (@20k?), and it is definitely beautiful and peaceful, but will ultimately cost you more in fixing the barn and building or rebuilding the house, than the previous property would cost you to dig a pond..
Yeah, they both had pros and cons...both missing the creek we are looking for. Sad face
This one looks good.
It was soooo close
When we go on walks and hear something in the woods we call them rattlesquirrels.... frightening, until they're not. haha
Haha, that is the best thing I have heard all day!
City girl here. Y'all laughing about zombie deer reminds me of visiting my sister in the country years ago. I heard so many strange scary noises that I couldn't bring myself to move to the country myself, lol. The first time I heard a fox scream on a pitch black night I thought I was in a Blair Witch movie! Being single I ended up chosing a large lot in the city and created my little private permaculture paradise. I was also worried about neighbors - didn't want to move next door to a puppy mill or some toxic industrial site. Are you able to scan the surrounding areas for unpleasant things? It's wonderful when you can meet the neighbors.
You sound like my hubby did when we first moved to our 1916 farmhouse homestead 28 years ago. He freaked out over every noise. (City guy) . I would go out and listen. Oh that's a deer, that's a raccoon, that's an elk, that's a hoot owl, that's the neighbor, that's a jet, that's a bear, that's a mouse.....Haha. I grew up in the country. Not quite as far out as we are now, but i was the one that wanted to move way the heck out here. And we have never regretted it. Especially now with the plandemic. Dont have to see anyone. It's nice, just gardening, canning, fixing things around the homestead. So dont be afraid of the country noises. They are more afraid of you.
Yes the noises are more afraid of you. It is humans we need to be afraid of. All you need do is familiarize yourself with the local animals and their calls, to protect yourself. Animals don't lie.
HA, that sounds similar to why Nathan calls everything 'zombie' it's a funny story we will have to share sometime.
This is it!!!
It was close
once those dogs become farm dogs they will never the clean or with forever be in the bath - suggestion outdoor tap with bath and hot and cold water
I think hot and cold water taps outside are great for anyone.
Yes, we have talked that a mud room or outdoor shower will be a must, they love getting dirty
Oh guys I love this one. Did you ask about the pump? Was it any good?
Owner was unsure of the condition of anything on the property
What a beautiful piece of property! I don't know much about pricing on these farms but I bet you can make a deal since the house is useless and the barn has foundation issues, I think you said you found a pump house but wasn't in good condition. Those ponds are stock ponds and usually man made.
Agree with everything you said, wish it had a creek
Very nice
Beautiful property
fantastic property, eh!
Absolutely
Could be an underground spring that comes up close to where the pond is If you have an excavator in there and I can dig it out around the pond making the pond a little bit larger and I bet you’ll discover some underground Springs leaving them in there from that go away that washes down in there
We were curious whether it was a spring but the owner didn't know when we asked.
Rain catchment? It’s beautiful!
Pretty property
Nice spot.
Very pretty
With the winter leaves missing from some trees, it is hard to tell which trees could be dead.
That is true
The OnX app your using has topographical maps on it that show creeks, lakes etc...
Good to know we will be sure to check it out when the GIS has that info
Is that an app you have for the property lines? I would be very interested to get that! Nice property, too bad no creek. Views are amazing.
There are several different ones out there. We use different hunting apps that are free. We will make a video on them :)
You seem to be looking at really big and expensive places. What's your plans for all that?
We are looking for big 30+ acres because we want a little privacy and the ability to grow over time...not looking for expensive but the market right now is trending that way
Very nice...
I would have offered even without a stream or creek.
It was a tough one to pass up but a creek is one of our very few must haves.
This looks good with the pond. Is there septic and a well.
No septic. There was a well in unknown condition
Its groundhog holes. Nice land
Pretty land for sure
-just discovered your channel !
We are looking to move to East TN from coastal OR (hate the politics and anti2a here!!!!!!), and so you are helping us a lot in our search process. Planning to visit East TN this fall to see for ourselves and search with an re agent. I am going to be binge watching your channel now. THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!
A question for you.... aren’t you concerned about copperheads while walking onto that property with your dogs thru the leaves on the ground? And how about water moccasins in the pond???
How would you handle a neighbor who is most likely hunting in YOUR woods (if you were to buy this place)? Would you address it with them prior to the purchase? Would you have an attorney give them a cease and desist? Just curious how this would be handled.
We also moved from OR and headed east in search of our future homestead. We have searched several properties in both Western NC and East TN over the past few months. The time of year we were searching we were not as concerned with snakes as when we are doing current searches. As for the neighbor conversation I think that I would introduce us as the new neighbors and let them know what we intended to do with the land. This particular property was a century farm where no one had actually lived on it for a really long time so Ithink letting them know, I would hope, would be all it takes 'if' they were using the land in the past.
A creek.. or spring is important.. I guess I'd really search to see if that pond has a spring??
The owner wasn't sure...we have had a hard time locating anything online on the property as far as a stream
Throughout the course of one year a pond can go through several algae blooms
yeah, it needs a little TLC and will be good as new :)
This is a nice place. What app do you use for viewing property lines?
Several different free hunting apps
I would worry about my dogs picking up dangerous bacteria from ponds on land I visited - not only for their sake but for yours as well.
Thankfully we haven't had any issues with the water or things they eat
Until you start finding a bunch of ticks when they bring them in from outside
Ticks are plentiful out here
At the blind you could plant Leyland Cypress and they grow thick and 30 feet tall in a few years, and block his view of your land
Sounds like arborvitae, that is what we had in OR.
@@TheKraemerLife I have some Leyland Cypress in my yard that have never been fertilized they are 35 feet tall and the trunks are three foot thick and they are 17 years old
If you are planning to move here, we refer to it as EAST Tennessee, not "Eastern" Tennessee. Eastern was that airlines. PS: I live in Church Hill.
We have heard it called both. We use the term Eastern because we have been in Eastern Central TN along with East TN so mostly eastish 🤣😂
The people you've heard say "eastern" are FOREIGNERS. Trust me - I'm a "half-back" since 1996 and it didn't take many locals to "correct" me before I finally caught on.
@@michaellandis2144
She just told you she don’t give a shit how locals say it.
This one looks like it has some great possibilities. Dogs seem to love it, that is a good sign.
You have neighbors but not right on top of you....Did you make an offer.? Sorry, I'm being nosey.
LOL, you are fine. No, we didn't make an offer because it didn't have a creek.
nice we hi form N GA new here
Hello, we have not made it to GA yet but hoping to in the near future, welcome!
@@TheKraemerLife cool we are hoping to put some off grid cabins up soon
Re: hole. (My) Nate says abandoned woodchuck hole. FWIW.
Some sort of animal seems to be the consensus
I wonder if the pond is feed by field tile and water run off. It is green from ducks and geese using it more than likely as they eat grasses while getting bugs and poop it out which can turn water green.
Seems over priced for what I see. But it is TN.
It was very high from what we have been seeing.
The hunting stand was to shoot the deer in the clearing.
:)
A rabid bird, asbestos siding, holes, deadly algae and neighbor's hunting on their own land I'd say sale immediately.
😂🤣
👍👍💕
We just looked at a property right down the road from this one...it was such a beautiful place.
