Imagine starting your morning coffee on a wraparound porch, taking in quiet views in every direction, then ending your day by a stacked-stone fireplace beneath vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings. Nearly 8 acres. A custom-built cabin. A 30×60 workshop. And all just minutes from I-75 and Sweetwater. Properties like this don't come along often, especially with this combination of land, improvements, and location. If you've been looking for a private, mountain-style retreat without giving up easy access to Knoxville or Chattanooga, this one deserves a closer look. The cabin offers over 3,100 square feet with an open kitchen, granite countertops, custom cabinets, and hardwood and tile floors throughout. The main living area, anchored by the stacked-stone fireplace, creates a comfortable gathering space that feels right at home in a true East Tennessee cabin. On the main level, you'll find two bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with a tile shower, walk-in closet, and laundry connections. Upstairs, a large loft provides flexible space that works well as an office, reading room, workout area, or second living space. Above the attached garage, a third bedroom and full bath offer a great option for guests, extended family, or separate living quarters. Outside is where this property really separates itself. The 30×60 workshop/detached garage features concrete floors, water, power, two 10-foot roll up doors, and views of the pond - ideal for equipment, projects, or serious hobby space. From the wraparound porch to the detached workshop/garage and acreage, this cabin with land in East Tennessee offers privacy, usable space, and convenience that's hard to find. If you need room to spread out, a quality cabin, and quick access to I-75 and Sweetwater, this property checks all the right boxes. Reach out to schedule a private showing before it's gone. *Buyer to verify all information.
