Private 7.62-acre retreat at the end of a quiet dead-end road — a like-new 2022 home plus a fully finished detached apartment, tucked into the woods just minutes from Elizabethton. Down a gated, deeded gravel drive you'll find a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (1,568 sq ft, built 2022) that still lives like new. The open-concept kitchen is the heart of it: rich hickory cabinetry, a large center island with seating, walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, and pendant lighting, all flowing into the living area under recessed lights and a wood-beam accent. Wood-look plank flooring runs through the main living space. The primary suite is a true owner's retreat — a garden soaking tub, separate glass shower, double-sink vanity, and a walk-in closet. What sets this property apart is the land and the extra living space. The 7.62 wooded acres — three contiguous tracts — give you privacy, room to roam, and a cleared, level homesite. A detached garage/apartment adds a complete second living unit with its own kitchen, bath, laundry, and living area: ideal for guests, multi-generational living, a home office, or rental income. There's also a detached carport and a storage shed. Energy-smart construction — Low-E windows, upgraded insulation, sealed ductwork, programmable thermostat — keeps utility costs low, with central heat and air throughout. Seclusion, acreage, a move-in-ready home, and a bonus apartment — properties like this rarely come available in Carter County.
