West TN; we've got that happening too. The neighbor's $750k McMansion has ludicrous "market value" implications for the hunting camp trailers beside it and the doublewide up the road.

and (ahem) East TN is more "western Arlington VA" IMO. I said rural. I'd have to walk a half mile to get a decent rifle shot at a neighbor. It's getting too crowded here.

You just described my road here in Henderson County,TN. We bought 100 acres and built a dream home. In the last years (ish) 4 new single wides went in and a couple of new smaller homes. We were told during the entire build that we will never get out of it what we are putting into it and we don't care. We aren't building for resale, selling it is our kid's problem.

But there are so many abandoned places out here. People have just walked away and never looked back. We had one across the road that over the last 10 years the woods has reclaimed and unless you knew that it was there, you would drive right past it.

Could you use it for hiking, hunting or woods?
