Escape to the mountains and discover an extraordinary opportunity — 9.25 private acres directly adjoining the Cherokee National Forest. Properties with this level of access and privacy are exceptionally rare. Whether you envision a personal retreat, weekend getaway, or an investment with short-term rental possibilities (buyer to verify), this setting offers unmatched serenity and adventure. Built in 2015, the inviting two-bedroom, one-bath cabin features an open concept floor plan with beautiful wood walls, floors, and ceilings for an authentic mountain-cabin feel. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room, while large windows frame uninterrupted views of nature. The kitchen and dining space flow naturally for effortless gathering. A large laundry/storage room adds practical convenience. The cabin's level, no-stair entry and rocking-chair front porch create the perfect spot for morning coffee. Outside, you'll find both cleared and wooded acreage, plus Higdon Branch flowing through the property. Also a covered log structure ideal for storing ATVs, tractors, or outdoor equipment, and a covered wood shed. Private gated entry off Chestnut Mountain Road elevates the sense of seclusion. Enjoy hiking, hunting, fishing, rafting the Ocoee River, Lake Ocoee water sports, and exploring historic Reliance, TN — all within minutes. Scenic drives connect you with Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Atlanta, each offering metropolitan airports and urban conveniences. Unwind. Explore. Dream. This is where memories are made, and where life in the mountains begins.
