5 Tennessee Homes from Mini-Farm Acres to Resort-Style Living

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across Tennessee, this quintet traces a lifestyle-first map of the state, from wide-open acreage to in-town ease and Smoky Mountain leisure. A Livingston mini-farm pairs usable land and outbuildings with a creek and trails, while Crossville offers new construction on wooded lots within city limits and without an HOA. Sevierville adds like-new, single-level simplicity with appliances included. In Columbia, an updated ranch on a half-acre corner lot brings five-bedroom flexibility. Pigeon Forge rounds out the collection with a turnkey resort condo and on-site amenities.

Set on 14.55 acres along a year-round creek in Livingston, this mini farm blends rustic living with working-land practicality. The two-story country home offers an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area anchored by a fireplace, plus an unfinished basement and hardwood-and-carpet flooring. Fireplaces also warm the primary bedroom and a family–office room, while two electric central heat-and-cool systems and a wood-burning stove add comfort. Outside, an L-shaped covered front porch and deck extend everyday living. Outbuildings bring real utility: a detached two-car garage with insulation, openers, and a workbench; an old historical buggy barn with bays and shelving; a chicken coop with caged outside access; and a small two-bay horse barn. Ten acres of level cleared ground, trails, fruit trees, grape vines, raised-bed gardens, and a private “she shed” create a place designed for unhurried days outdoors.
