Some properties make you slow down the moment you turn onto the road. This is one of them. Set on 8.25 surveyed acres at the edge of the Cherokee National Forest in Unicoi County, this brick tri-level gives you something that's genuinely hard to come by in East Tennessee right now -- land, privacy, and a solid home, all in one place. The acreage has been freshly surveyed, so what you see is exactly what you get. The home itself is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom layout that lives comfortably across three levels. The main living area centers around a fireplace that earns its keep on a mountain evening. The kitchen has been updated with tile flooring and opens to a bright breakfast nook -- the kind of spot where coffee tastes better. There's also a formal dining room when the occasion calls for it. The primary suite includes a remodeled en-suite bath and direct walkout access to the outdoors, so the first thing you see in the morning is the kind of view people drive hours for. Downstairs, the lower level adds a recreation area and utility room -- usable space that grows with you, whether that's a workshop, a hobby room, or just somewhere to put the gear. Outside is where 8.25 acres does the talking. Bordering Cherokee National Forest, you're not just buying a yard -- you're buying quiet. Trails, garden space, hunting ground, room for animals -- the land is ready for whatever you have in mind. Located in Erwin, TN -- a small town with real character, tucked into the Nolichucky River valley with Appalachian Trail access nearby and the kind of community that still knows its neighbors.
