Welcome to your private mountain escape--perfect as a full-time residence, vacation getaway, or hunting retreat--nestled on approximately 8.83 acres of unrestricted land along a quiet gravel road in the scenic Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. If privacy, peace, and tranquility are what you're after, this property delivers. Surrounded by nature and accompanied by the soothing sounds of a babbling creek, you'll have ample space to explore, hunt, or even expand. Inside, the home features an open-concept kitchen and living area with modern rustic design touches. Highlights include a loft bedroom with both interior and exterior access, complete with its own private balcony, a flexible bonus space ideal for a guest area, reading nook, office, or craft room--also with a private entrance. The full bathroom doubles as a laundry room and includes exterior access, making it perfect for use as a mudroom. The living room opens through French doors onto a spacious back deck, offering peaceful views of the surrounding mountain landscape. Design elements throughout the home include recessed lighting, corrugated galvanized metal accents (featured in the kitchen backsplash, ceiling, and bathroom), contemporary windows as skylights, butcher block countertops and shelving, hand-hewn bookshelves, natural wood walls, a barn door, sliding glass doors, and a mini-split system.

The property offers two access routes from the private road: a gravel driveway and a secondary grass-covered path leading directly to the back deck. With generous road frontage and acreage, there's plenty of room to roam, unwind, and make the space your own. Despite its secluded feel, you're conveniently located just 10 minutes from Mountain City for everyday needs as well as Trade, TN and 7 miles from the North Carolina state line.
