Fly fisherman's dream and an ideal spot for outdoor water sports enthusiasts! Just a quick drive or enjoyable walk to the South Holston River just below the South Holston Dam and Lake. This relatively and mostly flat lot with home is nestled in a ''holler'' between the mountainous ridges of Upper East Tennessee offering quick access to walking trails on Osceola Island, and trout fishing in the Southeast's prized trout section of the South Holston River. The property is a 10-to-15-minute drive to nearby marinas on South Holston Lake. An updated sunroom is just off the kitchen, and it is a great spot for a morning coffee while taking in the mountain views before a quick trek down to the river. With two bedrooms, a living room, family room, and two bathrooms, the house offers multiple front entrances for a variety of layouts. While likely having the feeling you are in the wild, the home has high-speed internet service from Bristol Tennessee Essential Services (BTES) and public water from the City of Bristol, TN. The downtown area of Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee is only 20 minutes away.
