Each NE TN property is unique. This one is truly exceptional. If you envision living in a personal, private, park-like setting that's all your own, where there's room & facility for everything you want to bring & have, then read on. You'll drive through a beautiful wooded area down to the creek, where you'll drive across rocky shoals with 4WD, up to a beautiful, large, gently rolling field. The field is circular in shape & surrounded on 2 sides by a renown creek in the area. There under sunny blue sky by day, or starry skies by night, you'll be under a big natural rotunda-sky ceiling. You might like to build there on the hill. Or maybe build in a very nice meadow privately tucked away in the mountain woods with a spring-fed, seasonal creek trickling down nearby. The mountain is great for hiking and hunting. It rises gently at first, then steeps up in the back from east & west along the top. Big War Creek wraps from before the crossing all the way around to the west side. There it comes against a solid wall of mountain rising up against the big bluff. This causes the creek to turn sharply creating a wide pooling section. It is a naturally large swimming hole, a pool of clear & beautiful spring & rain water. It never stops flowing! Entering from the road the driveway runs through the center of the property lined by large, wooded areas. To the left is the front yard of a rather nice modular home. It is affixed to the property over a crawl space on a concrete block stem wall. When you walk in, you'll find a lovely, pleasing home with a flowing, open floor-plan and big roomy spaces. The kitchen is full-sized with a gas stove, a practically new double-door steel refrigerator/freezer, plenty of cabinets & counter spaces, and nice breakfast bar. The family room opens to the front porch through sliders, has a propane fireplace, & is across from the living room. The dining room is right of the living room, behind the kitchen. Beyond the living area are 3 good sized bedrooms. The full bathroom has a tub/shower. The main bedroom is big & split to the other side with its own bathroom. It has a shower, a garden tub, 2 toilets, and a walk-in closet. The laundry room with washer & dryer serves as a mud room entry from the front porch. It is located next to the kitchen. The home was oriented towards what seems to be the back. It was reversed to capture the mountain view from the living room. The yard is very pretty with level grassy areas, an old fruit tree garden, and woods. There are several usable out buildings in the side yard for storage & farming equipment. The covered porch beyond the living room looks out over a great deal of land that lays down the hill beyond the fence toward the mountains. A little more clearing of small trees should open the view very nicely without losing any privacy. The driveway goes all the way down through the woods to the creek crossing and up to the amazing wonderland beyond. If you are looking to find a property where you can bring everything & move right in, & then adapt the home to your liking over time, or to enjoy while you build a new home, this is one you must see. A very decent, additional double-wide w/electricity is included. It is beyond the home hidden in the woods. It is used for storage now and will need rejuvenation. It can be connected it to the house well. The home is served by septic, electric, internet, well, propane heat, & a nearly new central air heat/cool system. The buildings beckon for some new love, but are comfortable & quite habitable. This is a rare & exceptional, property you won't want to miss. Come, bring all your stuff, & get settled. Then make it all to be the place you dream of. Expand, grow crops, bring animals, do some real hunting, and fully enjoy life in your own world.

Bought with Teresa Suarez• Creek Country Real Estate
The 92 ACRES this home is on is exceptional property and constitutes the greater part of the value. THE HOME is very nice and delivers a spacious, modest, feeling for easy living, with enough of everything that is needed. The 2100 sq. ft 4bd/2bth home has a good floor plan. The living room, family room, kitchen, & dining room are all separated, but flow easily together with wide openings. You'll see by the pictures how this is. The living & family rooms cover the whole width of the home, more or less in its center. The floor plan is split. The main bdrm and its bath, with a garden tub area & separate shower, are large and take up one end of the house. The other bedrooms and a full-sized bath with a tub/shower are on the other end. Entry is through a large, covered front porch. Another covered, screened porch is very private at the back. This is an older home in good condition that is set on a concrete block foundation over a crawl space. It is served by a well, electricity, and propane gas. Personal touches can be added over time. The central air conditioning & the refrigerator/freezer are both nearly new, and there is a nice washer & dryer in the laundry room. The property is furnished. Most everything in the home will stay. THE YARD surrounding the homestead is long and wide. It is fairly level, partially fenced, and has several out buildings, including a big barn-like structure. Tucked away in the woods is an additional older double-wide. Its yard needs tending, but the trailer itself is very decent inside. It shouldn't take much to shape it up for living, but it is without water now and has been used for storage. The house well could be shared, or water might be piped in from a spring. The setting for the whole homestead area is quiet, and very private. Beautiful mountain views could be opened even more to you without giving up its hidden serenity. THE LAND This 92 acres is a great piece of very unique real estate. A driveway leads down from the road at the homestead through the woods that line it on both sides to a massive creek that runs through the property & along the boundary. The creek is truly beautiful. It can be crossed by AWD or 4WD without a bridge. A whole new world is opened driving over the creek across level shoals and up a slightly inclined driveway to a surprising, great big hay field under full sun. It is a grand rotunda of sky over an expansive field. To the back of the field is a tremendous, wooded mountain, perfect for hiking, hunting, & camping. It rises from the creek and from the back of the field to the very top of the ridge. The large field offers room for gardens, livestock and/or horses, or for whatever home you might like to build on the top of the grassy hill. Goats would love mountain areas. Within walking distance up the mountain from the hay field, there is lovely home site. It is an open meadow the woods with a stream that runs down along the side of it. A most amazing feature is where the big creek collides with a rock wall at the bluff that's at the edge on the bottom of the mountain. There, where it is forced to turn off, the creek has formed a large, amazing, natural pool. .. .This property provides an opportunity to get quickly settled into your new adventure while enjoying the land in ways that are probably impossible to match. The potential for making it become all that you might design it to be is limitless. If you hope to own a rare-to-find, one-of-a-kind property that meets your immediate needs and provides for the plans you might be dreaming of, you will likely find it here. Just have your agent call us to arrange for a showing. The property and its contents are being sold ''As-Is''. The Buyer is welcome to have inspections under contract terms We will be happy to assist you if you do not have your own agent.
