About 986 Chumley Mtn
A Side By Side or other offroad vehicle and experienced driver are required to access property. Be sure to view the attached aerial video of the property. Calling all adventurers, campers, side by side enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs. This is an unparalleled opportunity to own this historical 55 acre mountain top tract and cabin named the Chumley Cabin... also known to many as the Tackett Creek Cabin. Visited by many (who likely weren't aware that they were on private property). Included is an approximately 2 acre spring fed pond as well as a smaller pond. This could make an amazing off grid homestead, a tiny home rental community, or a primitive campground with unlimited potential. Facts about the property... This was the estate of Bill Chumley. The 55 acres, the best that we can discover, was purchased by Mr. Chumley in the 1980's, where he built the cabin as his full time residence for a period of time. It has had power and even heat and air at some point... presumably powered by a generator. Solar and wind power are two viable sources of electricity as part of a renovation. It is rumored to have a water well on site, but the location has not been discovered. It is tough to get to for inexperienced riders. It is remote, it is rugged, and it is absolutely amazing. There are no commercial utilities nor any known possibility of getting those utilities. This is perfectly 'off the grid'. It has incredible 360 degree rim front views of Powell Valley and White Oak (the cabin takes advantage of that White Oak view). So this is your opportunity to own a piece of local history for whatever myriad of development you could imagine... or as the most incredible private retreat just off the Cumberland Trail, and right in the middle of the best riding trails that the Eastern United States has to offer.
