Land & Homestead Properties in Southeast Tennessee & North Georgia
Looking for a little more room to breathe?
Whether you're dreaming about a garden and a few chickens, searching for acreage to build your future home, planning a full homestead, or simply want more space between you and the neighbors, finding the right land takes more than scrolling through pretty pictures of fields.
I help buyers search for and evaluate land throughout the Chattanooga area, Southeast Tennessee, and North Georgia with the bigger picture in mind.

Buying Land Is Different From Buying a House
A beautiful piece of property isn't very useful if you can't do what you planned to do with it.
Before falling in love with the view, there are some decidedly less glamorous questions to answer.
Depending on the property and your plans, that may include:
-
Zoning and permitted uses
-
Deed restrictions and covenants
-
Legal access and road frontage
-
Septic suitability and soil evaluation
-
Public water or well options
-
Electric and other utility availability
-
Topography, drainage and usable acreage
-
Livestock, poultry or agricultural restrictions
-
Future building possibilities
My job is to help you ask the right questions, identify potential concerns early, and coordinate the appropriate due diligence with local authorities and qualified professionals before you make a major investment.
Looking for a Homestead? I Speak Chicken. And Bee. 🐝
This part isn't just a real estate niche for me.
I'm a beekeeper, keep backyard chickens, and I'm actively working toward expanding my own homestead and Hemlock & Haven Hives operation. So when you tell me you want acreage because you're dreaming about bees, chickens, gardens, fruit trees, a workshop, or eventually building a home, I understand why the details matter.
I'm not just looking at the number of acres.
I'm thinking about how the property could actually function for the life you're trying to create.
[ TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ]
What Kind of Property Are You Looking For?
Land for a Future Home
Looking for the right homesite? We'll consider access, utilities, topography, septic feasibility, restrictions and other factors that could affect your building plans.
Homes With Acreage
Want the house and the dirt? I can help you search for existing homes with enough land for privacy, gardening, animals, hobbies or simply more elbow room.
Homestead Properties
If your plans include chickens, bees, gardens, livestock or greater self-sufficiency, we'll look beyond acreage and evaluate whether a property fits those goals.
Recreational & Rural Land
Looking for privacy, woods, a weekend property or land you can enjoy now while keeping future possibilities open? We'll build the search around how you actually want to use it.
Where I Help Buyers Find Land
I work with land and residential buyers throughout the greater Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee area, as well as North Georgia and due to client demands I'm working on my ALABAMA! License as well!
That includes Chattanooga and surrounding communities such as Ooltewah, Apison, Hixson, Soddy-Daisy and other rural areas of Southeast Tennessee, along with Ringgold, Chickamauga and surrounding North Georgia communities.
Not sure where you should be looking?
That's part of the process. Tell me what you want to do with the property, your budget, commute needs and how much dirt you're hoping for, and we'll narrow down the areas that make sense.

Let's Find Your Piece of Dirt
You don't need to know exactly where you want to live or have every detail figured out before we talk.
Tell me what you're imagining.
A couple acres and some chickens? Ten acres and a future barndo? Bees, gardens and enough space that your neighbors require binoculars?
We'll start there.
