About this home
Nestled in your own private mountain oasis in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, this nearly one-acre property offers a rare opportunity to bring new life to a truly unique setting. With three structures on site, the centerpiece of the property is a beautifully renovated former church that has already undergone extensive updates and is ready for its finishing touches—simply add a well and septic to complete the transformation. The church offers nearly 1,200 square feet of character and charm, featuring two bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath, along with a versatile bonus room upstairs that could easily serve as an office, additional bedroom, or flex space. Much of the hard work has already been completed, making this the crown jewel of the property and the primary value of the sale. Also included are two additional structures that present exciting possibilities for those willing to renovate. An old farmhouse of approximately 1,560 square feet offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and additional upstairs space ready for restoration. A separate apartment building of roughly 1,200 square feet includes two units—one with one bedroom and a half bath, and another with three bedrooms and a full bath. While both buildings require substantial renovation, they offer added potential for rental income, guest accommodations, or expanded living space. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains and sitting at an elevation of over 3,200 feet, this property provides the perfect peaceful retreat while still being just a few miles from the Appalachian Trail and the Tennessee state line. Whether you’re looking to create a distinctive primary residence, a mountain getaway, or an income-producing Airbnb or rental property, the possibilities here are wide open. With its unique history, scenic setting, and incredible potential, this property is ready for the next chapter.
