About this home

Price reduced to $980,000. Rare East Tennessee mountain property on 47.93± acres bordering the Cherokee National Forest on two sides. Ready to live in, enjoy, earn from, and expand on from day one. Nearly 48 acres with strong privacy, bordering Cherokee National Forest, a short drive from Coker Creek Falls, Buck Bald Lookout, Bald River Falls, horseback riding trails, and miles of hiking. Coker Creek has a long history of gold discoveries and prospecting, with placer gold documented since the early 1800s and thousands of ounces produced from local streams. With springs, creeks, and proximity to Coker Creek, the land sits in a historic gold area. The land features multiple year-round freshwater springs, two stocked ponds, spring-fed creeks, established trail systems, seasonal mountain views, gently rolling terrain, abundant wildlife, and strong privacy. Cared for without chemical use, keeping fields, forests, and water features in a natural state for wildlife and low-impact living. Ideal for nature lovers and homesteaders. Previously home to Happiness Farm, a nonprofit therapy and farm-tour destination in Coker Creek for hands-on experiences with rescued and home-raised animals and natural wellness education. Families and travelers came here for guided farm tours, animal encounters, and wellness visits, earning over 150 five-star Airbnb reviews. Farm tours are now closed and all animals have been rehomed, so the next owner begins with a clean slate while still benefiting from the property's proven potential for future retreats, farm-stays, or experiential offerings. Within moments of arriving, everyday noise eases and the rest of the world fades away. The cabin, built in 2005, offers approximately 3,000 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, warm wood interiors, cathedral ceilings, and a spacious great room. The fully finished walk-out lower level features a private entrance, kitchenette, second bedroom, dedicated office, and flexible living space, ideal for multigenerational living, guests, a private studio, workshop, or rental. A spa-inspired primary bathroom with a jetted tub offers a calm space to unwind. For hobby farm or self-sustaining lifestyles, the property includes fenced areas for livestock and poultry, plus multiple outbuildings: barn, stable, detached workshop, storage buildings, and shelters. A 16x40 barn and 30x30 aviary add versatility for agricultural or sanctuary use. Two additional cabin sites and an RV pad sit on approximately one acre with septic, well water, and electricity already in place. Existing roads and trail systems allow for future development. Horseback riding trails connect from the property into the Cherokee National Forest, offering direct access to backcountry routes and scenic overlooks. Additional features include fiber optic internet, well water, and septic. With year-round water features, seasonal mountain views, strong privacy, and natural beauty, this property offers a true legacy opportunity.
