Brand'n Iron Hills

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Dover, TN

40 acres Located in beautiful Dover TN 5 miles from Lake Barkley & the Cumberland River. Conveniently located a few miles from town, far enough that it is quiet, but close enough that it is not a long trip to town. The property features a variety of thriving wildlife due to our fresh water stream that gently flows through the property year round. The stream is roughly ankle to hip deep depending on the area. The water is crystal clear and safe to play in if you have little ones. Walk along the stream and discover all kinds of fish, turtles, beautiful river stones and possibly see a beaver or 2. If you have Archery equipment, you can use our Archery Range. The property is split by a 2 lane road. 7 acres to the North and 33 acres to the South. The smaller side is flat with many trails, fresh water stream and a gravel road. It features relatively junior trees and is home to a family of Whitetail Deer. The Southern side of the property features a mature hardwood forest full of giant white oak trees. Be sure to put on your hiking boots though, because there's a few Hills to climb. Three hills that form a beautiful valley in the center, with another fresh waterstream. The valley was once home to a 1700s settlement, so you may find some artifacts. (We just ask that you leave them where you find them.) Main trails are marked clearly with large reflectors for safety. With the near-by wildlife refuge you are sure to see and hear a variety of wildlife. We have large steel firepits in every campsite. So feel free to bring your own firewood! Enjoy a good book or nap while relaxing in a hammock. Swing with a loved one while over looking the fresh water stream. Walk down along the stream and collect rocks, feed the fish, or go for a dip! Currently our property is very Primative, whichever there is no electricity or plumbing.

Hummingbird Hill Acres

9 sites · RVs, Tents36 acres · Stewart, TN

This was once a working farm, but was sold to logging interests for the many hardwoods that covered it. Once the Loggers were finished it was broken up in parcels to be sold as farmettes, residential lots, etc. I found my beautiful Hummingbird Hill on a Zillow site, when I came to look at the property I discovered the only way to get to my hill was a right of way through three other parcels. Those are the properties I was shown! The realtor didn't even realize the gem of the hill was there. I went back a week later and hiked up a barely visible path through the trees and out onto an open hill that looks out over the ridges in three directions,and down on the field all around it .A small pond in one corner. You have a view clear to the Church next to Hurricane Creek. But no one can see the hill. I bought the three parcels on the lower 7 acres, rejoining them and I bought the 27 acres that is the hill and fields. This property got its name from the locals who tell me it was named that due to the multiple Hummingbirds that return every year to the property. I have had them fly right up and hover inches from my face! This property was a favorite hunting spot for the locals due to the amount of wildlife that come from the 5,000 acre logging forest it backs up to. I no longer allow hunting on the property except for my own family when there are no campers . With a clear sky at night there is no ambient light to interfere with stargazing. Billions of diamonds in the sky. Bring you telescope. Campfires are only allowed within the fire rings and not after midnight. Please bring your own portable camp potty or pack out your waste. No firearms allowed. I lived in a small shed cabin on the property completely off grid for 7 years and am in the process of developing the lower acres into garden, orchard and small homestead. We are planning to add Alpacas, sheep, Highland Cattle, and Chickens. I am an old fashioned quilter, and do all forms of needlework. I can spin with a spindle and am learning to use a spinning wheel. I sew as well. If any campers are interested I will offer a basic class in sewing, quilting, Knitting or Crochet. Very private, raw land camping. Completely off Grid. Lots of wildlife, Small pond is their watering hole. No ambient light so you can really see the stars at night. Bring your telescopes. Beautiful view across the tree tops to the next ridge Quiet except for the sounds of nature. Campfires allowed in fire pits only and not after midnight.
