As you are drawn to the peaceful 50 mile view of the Appalachian Mountains from your deck chair, the question that arises is ''What is the best time of day to fully appreciate the scene before you ?'' At 7am, the mountain peaks rise as the valleys fill with morning mists. Midday in the spring and fall offers a vast array of color from flowering trees and colorful leaves. Evening is when the sunsets are worthy of photographs night after night. After sunset enjoy sweeping views of the city lights below, especially during Christmas and July 4th! These are all yours at 435 Cherokee Mountain Rd. , Jonesborough, TN. But the exciting thing is, this is all 10 minutes from the center of Johnson City, TN, and 10 minutes from downtown Jonesborough, TN, Tennessee's oldest town.

All beams are fashioned from oak and designed and installed by the former Sunset Structures in Charleston, WV, now Blue Ridge Timberwrights of Christiansburg, VA.

R-1
Low Density Residential District
This is the most restricted residential district, intended for low density single-family use along with open areas which appear likely to develop in a similar manner. The requirements for the district are designed to protect essential characteristics and provide an environment for family life. Additional related uses normally required to provide the basic needs and conveniences of a residential area are permitted upon review by the planning commission provided certain standards are met. It is necessary to set higher standards for these related uses because they generate more traffic than single family residential uses and would be detrimental to a residential neighborhood if they were not required to meet minimum standards.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
