About this home

Tucked away on 1.21 private, usable acres, this well-maintained stick-built home offers the kind of setting that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by nature and tucked off the beaten path, you'll enjoy the peace, privacy, and freedom that make mountain living so appealing, while remaining just minutes from Tennessee, Georgia, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. Inside, the home features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a welcoming living room centered around a cozy fireplace. The kitchen offers ample cabinetry and opens to the dining area, creating a comfortable flow for daily living and entertaining alike. Just off the dining area, the screened porch provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the sounds of nature, or unwind after a long day. It's an extension of the living space that allows you to fully appreciate the property's peaceful surroundings. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the possibilities with a versatile bonus room ideal for guests, a home office, fitness space, or hobby room. A spacious laundry area and basement garage provide additional storage, workshop potential, and functionality. Outside, the usable acreage offers room to garden, enjoy outdoor recreation, or even keep chickens. Whether you're dreaming of a homestead, mountain retreat, or simply a property with room to breathe, this one delivers flexibility that's hard to find at any price point. Properties offering this combination of privacy, usable land, a finished basement, and a convenient tri-state location are becoming increasingly rare. If you've been searching for a mountain property with lasting value and unlimited potential, this is one you won't want to overlook.
