I live on the upper end. Land goes for appro. $1000 an acre. Reason it is cheap. They only have one factory there. You have to drive to Morristown Tn or Kingsport

Congratulations! Keep us posted on your move. My hubby and I are hoping to retire there in the next 5 or 6 years. We want to get away from it all.........

From what I've read, Sneedville seems somewhat isolated. I have a picture of Snuffy Smith living in a rickety old cabin.

I hope so. I also hope it's about 30 years behind the times and conservative. Does anyone know if it is? I'm ready to go back in time and escape the liberal madness of where I live. I spent 20 years in Texas where people where conservative but friendly. When they said they'd do something, they'd do it and they didn't shove their political views down your throat. Now I've found myself surrounded by those that want to control their neighbors on the East Coast. I enjoy nature, don't need the mall and want to be left alone. I like target practice and riding my horses and just sitting and listening to the birds. I appreciate good neighbors and am happy to wave and smile and lend a helping hand but I don't want them in my business all the time. Is Sneedville for me?

Talking My move to Sneedville

We just got moved here from Florida and it is "how do you describe beauty, layed back, friendly and there when you need them but not in your back pocket all the time" I have found Sneedville to be friendly, helpful, courtous, and gracious. When we finally found our piece of the mtns we met many down home folks and they all said the day we move here they would be here to help us unpack,,,,,well they kept their word, as we were driving down the hollow to our neck of the woods in a big Penske Truck we picked up 4 fourwheelers behind us and as we turned into our driveway I got out of the car and noticed we had accumlated 7 fourwheelers all with big smiles and hello's and ready to unpack our truck and even brought us dinner that night....Now would someone tell me where in Fla that would have occured? In the evening we have a nice fire beside our Creek and listen to the peace, no sirens, no fighting neighbors and no hot cement,,, Regrets NEVER
