Overview

Description

Some properties check boxes--this one creates a feeling the second you step onto it. The views are the story here. Wide, unobstructed mountain views that roll on for miles, paired with a peaceful country setting that's getting harder and harder to find--especially this close in. Sitting on 15 acres, you've got the kind of land that gives you options. Open, usable ground in an area where opportunities like this rarely come available. For those already in East Tennessee, you know how uncommon it is to find this combination of acreage, views, and convenience. And for those considering a move here--this is exactly the type of property people have in mind when they picture East Tennessee, but almost never find this close to everything. Space to breathe, the ability to build for the future, and a setting that delivers the views you came for without sacrificing access to everyday life. Whether it's creating a homestead, adding homes for family, or simply having room to live differently, ...

Public Remarks
Some properties check boxes--this one creates a feeling the second you step onto it. The views are the story here. Wide, unobstructed mountain views that roll on for miles, paired with a peaceful country setting that's getting harder and harder to find--especially this close in. Sitting on 15 acres, you've got the kind of land that gives you options. Open, usable ground in an area where opportunities like this rarely come available. For those already in East Tennessee, you know how uncommon it is to find this combination of acreage, views, and convenience. And for those considering a move here--this is exactly the type of property people have in mind when they picture East Tennessee, but almost never find this close to everything. Space to breathe, the ability to build for the future, and a setting that delivers the views you came for without sacrificing access to everyday life. Whether it's creating a homestead, adding homes for family, or simply having room to live differently, this is the kind of opportunity that makes the move make sense. The home itself is a fully renovated brick 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom with multiple living areas, a formal dining space, and a layout that works well for separate living quarters. There are multiple walk-in closets, a walk-in attic, and a gas fireplace that anchors the main living space. You've also got a main-level garage, basement garage, plus a detached garage and workshop--plenty of space for equipment, hobbies, or whatever you need. And while it feels like you're tucked away in the country, you're still just minutes from the hospital, shopping, and schools--giving you that balance that's so hard to find. With a new roof, new PEX plumbing, HVAC in 2022, and a mini-split system already in place, the heavy lifting is done. What's left is the opportunity--and it's a rare one--to own a piece of East Tennessee where the views, the land, and the potential all come together.
