''We can never have enough of nature, '' wrote Henry David Thoreau. If you share that passion, this homestead is for you: carved out of the woods, a grassy private peninsula surrounded by tranquil lake, picnic area with fire pit, multiple views of water and woods, jon boat dock, herb garden, a hiking and biking paradise on beautiful Lookout Mountain--this is a naturist's heaven! Only 30 minutes from Chattanooga, TN (Outdoor Magazine's ''Best Town Ever'' in 2015) this 2.5 acre property is part of Bee Gap, a gated community with two private lakes plus a common lot with a brow-view on the edge of the mountain. It is close enough to civilization to be a primary residence, but it's far enough to be a wonderful weekend retreat. The house is luxurious rustic and boasts a great room with vaulted and beamed ceiling and a stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace; ample kitchen with all appliances included, plus a large pantry; huge combination dining room/family room with windowed walls and French doors opening onto the deck; spacious master bedroom with sitting area under a vaulted/beamed ceiling and a master bathroom with double vanities, makeup vanity, and a jetted tub/shower combo; second bedroom or office/den with an entire wall of closet space; second bathroom with shower stall and included stackable washer/dryer; loft bonus room for sleeping, playing, crafting, or storage; large deck with pergola; pea-graveled patio spot under the trees; barn/shop/garage/carport building with tons of storage area. Jon boat, picnic table, and fountain remain; refrigerator in shop is negotiable. An additional lot adjacent to the one listed here is also available from the same sellers and could be purchased in conjunction with this listing. It has utility connections but no structures and the seller currently has a vegetable garden on this lot.
