About this home
Some places just make you want to slow down and stay awhile. Welcome to your own little piece of East Tennessee, where a charming 1930s cottage overlooks a stocked fishing pond on approximately 2.15 acres in Greene County, the birthplace of legendary frontiersman Davy Crockett. Take in the pond views from inside the cottage or from the back porch, spend your afternoons fishing from the rebuilt dock, and gather around the firepit as the evening settles in. It's the kind of peaceful Tennessee setting that's getting harder to find. The three-bedroom, two-bath cottage has been thoughtfully improved with an added laundry room, custom captain's beds, a gas fireplace insert, additional attic insulation, crawlspace vapor barrier, elastomeric roof coating, and fresh exterior paint. Outside, the sellers have invested in clearing and landscaping the grounds, improving the pond, rebuilding the fishing dock, and adding a new storage shed. Offered fully furnished, including appliances and furnishings, this cottage is ready for its next chapter as a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or potential short-term rental (Airbnb/VRBO). Greene County Planning has confirmed that short-term rentals are permitted in the area, subject to applicable requirements, including adequate parking. And here's where the possibilities really begin! With approximately 2.15 acres and ample road frontage, Greene County Planning has indicated that a second dwelling may be permitted on the existing parcel, or the property may potentially be divided into separate lots, with a minimum lot size of one-half acre. Both options are subject to suitable soils, septic permitting, and applicable county approvals. Buyers should independently verify their intended use. A Tennessee cottage, a fishing pond, and possibilities for the future. Come experience this special corner of Greene County for yourself. Drone photography used, buyer to verify square footage and all measurements.
