About this home

AMAZING 4.37 acres with these 2 adjoining lots on BOLD Tessentee Creek with an additional rippling creek along the other side as well. Stunning rolling level land plus breathtaking mountain views. With the views, bold creek, rippling stream and spanning acreage bordered by lovely trees you feel you are in your own oasis. Original homestead for the valley sits on lot 20A, this home is livable but is sold as-is, wear is due to age. Lot 20B has a 3 bedroom septic and underground utilities already installed. The drilled well also services just these 2 lots, the pressure tank for the well is located next to well underground. Well-maintained homes on the road and a perfect spot to temporarily live in the original cottage as you build your dream home on the adjacent lot. No HOA dues. Road Maintenance is as-needed between property owners. Haywood Electric for power and neighbors have Frontier Internet. The perfect location for your mountain home or get-a-way with easy access to Franklin, Clayton, Highlands, and 441.
