Turnkey Homestead on 4 Usable Acres with Breathtaking Mountain Views, Pool, and Finished Outbuildings Why start your farm from scratch? This move-in-ready property near Douglas Lake offers all the infrastructure you'd spend years building: fencing-ready pastures, multiple powered sheds, finished office space, poultry coops, proven soil for gardening, a south-facing position for ideal sunlight, a pool with hot afternoon shade, and a fully renovated home. Inside, enjoy main-level living with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, granite countertops, hardwood floors, crown molding, updated stainless appliances, and fresh paint. The open-concept kitchen, living, and dining space makes everyday living easy, while a bay window frames scenic mountain views. The finished walk-out basement includes a large bonus room that works perfectly as a second living area for families, entertaining, or even future master suite potential. You'll also find a newly renovated full bath, oversized laundry room with walk-out access, a utility and storage room, and a fourth bedroom with its own private entry. A wide hallway provides the perfect space to add additional cabinetry or create a mudroom-style entry. Outdoors, enjoy a 30x30 detached garage with separate 200-amp meter, a 30x14 finished office shed with minisplit, a 20x12 powered shed, an RV hookup, and fencing-ready pastures with T-posts already in place. Recent updates include a new main water line (2024), well pump (2021), water heater (2024), and a full basement drainage system with lifetime warranty. A transferable termite and pest contract, generator transfer switch, and proximity to the lake complete this rare find. With major updates already complete, buyers can expect a low-maintenance, worry-free home. From the drainage system to the appliances, electrical, water systems, and structural improvements, this property has been carefully upgraded to simplify ownership and protect your investment. Just minutes to Douglas Lake boat launches and I-40, and 45 minutes to Dollywood, this is a fully prepped East Tennessee lifestyle property. This is your chance to own a turnkey small farmstead with modern updates, lifestyle amenities, and stunning Smoky Mountain views. Picture-perfect scenery, cozy nooks, and open spaces offer endless inspiration and memory-making opportunities. Ideal for families, remote workers, homesteaders, and content creators.
