About this home

This is not for the faint of heart. This is for the visionary. Some homes are turnkey. Others become landmarks. Tucked away on 8.29 private acres in Oneida sits one of the most ambitious residential projects our area has seen in years. Over **$1.2 million** has already been invested into transforming this property into what could become one of East Tennessee's most unforgettable estates. The original square-log cabin began as a beautifully designed 3-bedroom home with 3 en-suite bathrooms, soaring open-beam ceilings, warm wood flooring, and a lodge-inspired atmosphere that immediately commands attention. The walkout basement features additional guest quarters with custom tiled showers and a striking stone fireplace that feels worthy of a luxury mountain retreat. But the true value lies in what this property is capable of becoming. With more than **5,000 square feet of unfinished expansion space already under roof**, the framework for something extraordinary is already in place. A grand primary suite with fireplace. Expansive entertaining areas. Massive bunk room. Oversized 40x27 garage. Additional lower-level living quarters. Boutique retreat potential. Event venue possibilities. Luxury short-term rental destination. Multi-generational estate. Imagine welcoming wedding guests beneath the East Tennessee mountains, hosting executive retreats where privacy and nature inspire creativity, or creating a luxury Airbnb designed for large groups seeking an unforgettable experience. This property could easily become a premier horseback riding retreat, with direct access to the outdoor lifestyle that draws visitors to this area year after year. Nearby Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area offers miles upon miles of scenic horseback riding trails, backcountry adventures, hiking, kayaking, rock formations, waterfalls, and breathtaking overlooks that have made this region one of the Southeast's hidden gems. For off-road enthusiasts, Brimstone Recreation Area is only a short drive away, bringing world-class ATV and side-by-side riding directly to your backyard. The tourism demand surrounding these destinations continues to grow, making this property uniquely positioned for both personal enjoyment and investment potential. This is not raw land or a concept sketch. This is a nearly completed vision waiting for the right buyer to bring it to life. The heavy lifting has already been done: ✔️ Over $1.2M invested ✔️ New dimensional roof ✔️ Pella windows installed ✔️ Major structural work completed ✔️ Double entry doors in place ✔️ Utilities & infrastructure established ✔️ High-speed internet available ✔️ Minutes from shopping, schools, and medical facilities And if you need help completing the vision, we are here to help guide that process as well. **CAN BE FINISHED OUT TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS, OR CAN BE SHOWN/QUOTED MULTIPLE VARIATIONS TO BE FINISHED TO YOUR PREFERENCE.** Whether you envision a private family compound passed down for generations, an exclusive retreat destination, or the legacy home you have always dreamed of creating, opportunities like this rarely reach the market. This is the type of property people talk about. Bring your imagination. Bring your builder. Bring your offer.
