Description

Discover a true East Tennessee mini farm combining rural privacy with modern convenience. This 1934 one-level farmhouse offers approx 970 sq ft of move-in-ready living space on 24.5 unrestricted acres featuring a rolling mix of pasture and wooded terrain. The land includes two natural springs, county-road frontage, a run-in shed, detached garage with newer roof (≈ 5 yrs), and a fenced back yard for livestock or pets. Ideal for horses, sheep, goats or pigs, and room for gardens or future outbuildings. The home blends original character with thoughtful updates completed within the past 5 years — fresh paint, refreshed electrical and plumbing, new flooring, and a remodeled bathroom. A metal roof and HVAC system (≈ 10 yrs) add peace of mind. The floor plan includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a living room with sealed fireplace, dining room, and spacious kitchen. Laundry is on the main level for easy access, and the cellar-style basement offers extra storage or a root cellar setup. Hardwood and laminate floors run throughout most rooms, highlighted by wood trim and solid interior doors. Relax on the front porch and enjoy peaceful mountain views over the rolling fields. The home is on public water, with exterior spigots fed by a well. Located just 7 miles to Red Barn Produce, 8.5 miles to Cherokee Lake access at Cherokee Dam, 13 miles to Carson-Newman University, ≈ 30 miles to Knoxville shopping, and ≈ 45 miles to Dollywood. Low Grainger County taxes and no restrictions make this property a rare find for those seeking usable acreage and country living potential in East Tennessee.
