Planning land you own in Hickman County?

Piney River is a mixed hospitality and extended-stay resort—not the same as owning a Hickman County parcel with a permitted backyard ADU. Route into pathway tools if you are comparing models.

Pads & tenancy snapshot

Level gravel and concrete pads with inline utility pedestals, adjacent parking, outdoor fire rings, and covered decks overlooking ponds or river curves. Turnkey operator-owned inventory plus dedicated extended-stay pads for certified owner units.

Multi-use waterfront resort. Extended-stay monthly land leasing operates alongside an active boutique tiny house hotel calendar featuring the 2026 Skylight Heaven mirrored-glass series. Long-term pad lessees must follow resort management guidelines on extended occupancy and commercial sub-leasing.
