About the host
Hosted by Glenn & Donna FF
My husband and I moved from Florida to get away from it all. The area is beautiful and peaceful. We love animals and wanted a place were we could expand our furry family and enjoy the outdoors
Why they chose this property
This beautiful farmhouse was abandon and in disrepair for many years before it went for auction. We live across the street and jumped at the chance to own this place. Over the last year and a half 2020-21 we remodeled the house and bought the farm back to life. Our ultimate goal is to have a retired farm animal rescue on the property to give hard working animals a place to live out their golden years. The funds from the farmhouse will help us help the animals!
What makes this property unique
Fresh air! Beautiful smokey mountains! Peace & quiet! A brand new interior inside an 1878 historic farmhouse!
