About this home
Welcome to your own private Smoky Mountain Homestead on the quiet side of the Smokies. Nestled on approximately 4 beautiful, usable acres, this one-of-a-kind property offers the peace, privacy, and self-sufficient lifestyle so many dream about. The property is thoughtfully divided into three separate tracts, each with its own private well, creating endless possibilities for future homesites, guest accommodations, or keeping the property just as it is for generations to enjoy. The charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin is full of warmth and character. Inside you'll find an inviting open floor plan with a cozy wood-burning stove and a loft that adds to the cabin's mountain charm. Step onto the back deck, relax, and listen to the gentle sounds of the creek flowing through the property--a setting that truly feels like stepping away from the world. As you wander the walking trails, you'll discover peaceful places to unwind, including a swing tucked among the trees, hammocks by the creek, and gathering spaces perfect for family bonfires under the stars. Every corner of this property was made to enjoy nature and create lasting memories. The beautifully restored red barn offers even more versatility. Recently remodeled, the upper level features a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, while the lower level provides abundant storage, a workshop, and its own laundry area. Whether used for guests, extended family, a rental opportunity, or creative workspace, the barn adds incredible value to the property. For those dreaming of a true homestead lifestyle, you'll appreciate the fenced raised-bed garden, chicken coop, storage shed, and covered carport currently used for boat storage. The mostly level terrain makes the entire property easy to enjoy and maintain. The rear 2-acre section offers outstanding potential for a second home, guest cabin, or future expansion while maintaining privacy and natural beauty. Located just 10 minutes from downtown Townsend, you'll enjoy convenient access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park while returning home each day to the tranquility of creekside living.
