Near the Big South Fork National River and Recreation area; an off-grid refuge center in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee
The 5 acre tract of dense unspoiled forest sits on a bluff surrounded by creeks on 3 sides.

We have been living on site since May 1st 2018 and are busy with building our first ‘Hobbit house’, which needs to be ready for the winter. We are framing it from wood from the forest and using the natural rock outcrop as the central fireplace feature of the house. It will have an outdoor ‘Roman Bath’ built into the upper area above the fireplace.
More photos coming soon!
We invite you to visit us, stay for a while, or join us in building this unique off-grid community which will include a visitors center for short stays, and be the home of ‘Cumberland Academy’ – teaching off-grid living, autism recovery, human design system . . .
. . . and many other areas of knowledge.
Our vision – a new way of living and learning . . .
At the center of the project is the development of an off-grid community and school that innovates in holistic, integrative and life-affirming spaces, energy and water management, gardening and food science, nutrition and herbology.
Alongside this core project will be the academy, which will be a center of transformation in our understanding of the world and our place in it; a center for personal growth, learning and transition.
