Welcome to a property that perfectly envelopes the natural beauty of East Tennessee in the most magnetic way. Passing through the stone gates onto the 78 acre property, you are met with rolling pastureland, the shade of the trees, and the sounds of one of four bubbling creeks that winds its way through the entire estate. Opportunity for development abounds with the unique amount of gorgeous building sites, framed by mountain views. With 3/4 of a mile of the property bordering the Cherokee National Forest, seclusion and natural splendor is found even beyond your personal haven. Explore the property with pathways and access to the Appalachian Trail, enjoy an expansive garden, and take advantage of the area already set up for beekeeping. Blueberry bushes, blackberries, chestnut trees, holly trees, and mountain laurel are just a few indigenous species found. Envision a magnificent venue or equestrian paradise coming to life. Nestled at the end of the driveway is a peaceful retreat whose walls contain wood and stone that was harvested from the property itself. This home is pleasing in every way for your desire to have a custom lodge that compliments the property it sits upon so perfectly. With details like hardwoods running throughout, soaring vaulted ceilings, a stunning wood-burning stone fireplace that is the centerpiece of the home, domestically harvested wood accents throughout, among many other details, this home delights in so many ways. The spacious primary bedroom and en suite primary bathroom are found on the main level along with expansive custom kitchen, laundry room, dining room, second den that could be converted to a third bedroom, and full bathroom. A loft overlooks the living room and a second bedroom is found upstairs. Outside you will enjoy the natural sounds of the rippling creek and enjoy a well-fed fountain off your covered porch. An oversized barn offers plenty of usability and southern charm. Also available is an adjacent property on 274 Bulldog Hollow (MLS 9983536) that would make a fantastic home for family or guests! This property is a rare gem and must be experienced!
