For Showings call/text agent @ 423-333-1866. Motivated Seller! - Property to be sold as is. Attention Investors with vision, those with dreams of fixing up an old log cabin, preserving an historical building, opening a bed and breakfast, a resort spa, A BnB or private mountain retreat in the rolling hill country of East Tennessee. Here you will find a blank canvas for your ideal project--this sturdy shell of an 1800s log cabin, once Trading Post, is just waiting for a new life!In addition to the large log-chinked cabin, rough-hewn with hand-wrought iron-works: nails, hinges and locks, this nostalgic homestead has weathered time, additions, and renovations. As expected, a large stone fireplace anchors the interior, and rises to meet the loft above. The cabin is equipped with running water, electricity, a working kitchen, single bath, laundry, and five rooms on the first floor. Plank-board stairs lead to a large master-size room and loft over-looking the fire-place. Adding to its Southern charm is a cool covered porch running the length of its front. This nostalgic building is settled on 9 beautiful rolling acres with a pond, 2-bay electrified garage, covered car port, and two trailers (of no value) with electricity and running water, ideal for office and storage space. You can find this diamond in the rough, just outside the village of Jonesborough, home to the Storytelling Festival, not too far from the small but hip Johnson City, East Tennessee University, outdoor activities, and just down the road from Bristol, home to Nascar Racing. Come take a look and watch your dream unfold before your very eyes. The information in this listing has been obtained from a 3rd party or tax records and must be verified before assuming accurate.
