Rare jewel in the Smokies 3700 square foot custom-built log home on almost 6 pristine acres! Sleepy Bear Hollow is in impeccable condition both inside and out! Huge covered decks, soaring windows, and ceilings bring in the beauty of the Smoky Mountains and all that East Tennessee have to offer! A lovely green and level lawn allows you ample room to enjoy the outdoors yet still be completely surrounded by a hardwood forest for privacy (except for the deer, turkeys, and other wildlife who will frequently visit). 28x30’ detached garage (2.5 car) is the perfect man cave as well as home to your multiple vehicles. Bring your additional toys, too— plenty of room for boats, RVS, 4-wheelers! As you approach the home from the well-maintained gated private road and driveway, enjoy the beauty of the views across local farms and out to Halls Top Mountain and other neighboring mountains in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Once at the home, stop and enjoy the oversized decks complete with outdoor lighting for your evening enjoyment. Enter through the solid wood doors into a foyer immediately opening into an expansive gathering room. A floor to ceiling stacked stone fireplace, along with the tongue and groove ceilings and open windows, soar very high, creating an even greater dimension to the interior space. Wood flooring, casement and leaded windows, granite and tile, stainless appliances, log railings, wood ceiling beams! The original owner/builder of this home spared no expense; he wanted a showplace, and that is what the home is! Master bedroom is on main level complete with cathedral ceiling and French doors out to deck with easy access to the hot tub any time of the year! Master bathroom is complimented by cabinets galore, double sinks, and an over-sized walk- in tile shower. Walk up the solid log stairway to the upper level, and the enormity of the living space is again evident. A large bedroom, bath, closet, and ample storage are all on this level. Lower level of the home features a second stacked stone fireplace, full bar, and theater room. Shoot a game of pool or play some cards while you watch the newest Netflix series on the large screen. Under the stairway is a small workroom for the tools you may be too lazy to fetch from the detached garage. Across from workroom is large equipment room, and all equipment is in tip-top condition (owner can explain all the features this home has to offer, if you wish). Large laundry room adjacent to the equipment room is complete with shelving and built-in ironing board. Next room is currently used for hobbies/crafts but could easily be a fourth bedroom. At end of hallway is yet another large and open bedroom, with full bath. Additional storage shed on the grounds is used for gardening tools/riding lawnmower, etc. If you happen to enjoy practice shooting, there is also a small range near this shed. Property is within minutes of the Smoky Mountains Golf Club/Course (ride in your own golf cart to the course), downtown Newport, shopping and entertainment, and I-40. Leave this property and you can easily be in the National Park, Gatlinburg, or Knoxville within 30 minutes! Asheville, NC, is only an hour away. But why leave? Sleepy Bear Hollow is perfect for full-time living enjoyment; once here, you won't want to leave!
