About this home

MOTIVATED SELLERS! Privacy. Views. Space. Character. All four -- and just minutes from town. Seller offering $5k in closing costs for the buyer. Nestled on over 16 unrestricted private acres with no HOA and mature timber, this handcrafted log cabin delivers the East Tennessee mountain lifestyle in full -- panoramic views, abundant wildlife, and the kind of complete privacy with the nearest neighbor over 500 feet away... that's nearly impossible to find this close to everything. You're minutes from Norris Lake and I-75, 40 miles from Knoxville, yet fully tucked away in your own wooded world. Inside, nearly 2,900 square feet spread across three levels with soaring cathedral ceilings, handcrafted log details, a stone fireplace, and walls of windows framing the mountains beyond. The house has natural gas. The open main level flows to a full-length covered porch, the upper level is a dedicated master suite with full bath, and the finished walkout basement adds flexible space for guests, a home office, or recreation. Outside, the property earns its acreage. A detached 2-car garage with side entry handles vehicles, equipment, and extra storage. A chain-link kennel area keeps four-legged family members happy (or chickens). A secluded area on the property lends itself naturally to primitive camping, hunting, or a private retreat space with real income potential. Above the home, a cleared flat area with a small shed opens the door to a garden, camping, or second build site-- the possibilities are genuinely endless on 16.4 unrestricted acres with an on-site spring-fed water supply. There's an existing chicken coop. Cove Lake State Park and Norris Lake and marinas are minutes away. The acreage is the real story. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, short-term rental investment, or a legacy property to pass down, this one delivers the East Tennessee lifestyle buyers dream about -- and the land to back it up. With numerous updates completed in recent years--including new fascia and gutters, an updated HVAC system, and fresh exterior staining--it's move-in ready, allowing you to settle in and immediately enjoy the quiet beauty of mountain living. *All information contained herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
