A Fisherman's Paradise!... Imagine walking out the front porch of your peaceful mountain retreat, casting your line & catching a bass on your first try! Challenge on! This gorgeous home and property are nestled in the cozy Yellow Nugget Lake community in the heart of the Cherokee National Forest in historic Coker Creek. This beauty sets overlooking the lake with serenity that is a balm for the soul. It's a custom-built, 2-bedroom, 2 full baths, master has a walk-in shower, over-sized walk-in closet, next to adjacent laundry, and has a walk-out balcony that overlooks the lake and property. The kitchen has custom cabinets with under cabinet lightening, pantry, breakfast bar and dining area. The home has a convenient mud room for fishing poles and equipment, security cameras, hardy board siding, which is very low maintenance, whole house light dimmer system, new HVAC system, new gas heater in living area, gutter screens, roof ice cutters, and house generator. You step out the front door on the main level to a second deck that's an enclosed front porch overlooking the lake and the surrounding beauty.... the perfect spot for sipping that morning coffee and listening to the birds sing. The manicured yard truly is a little slice of Heaven...it has lush green grass, fire pit and Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake, and a container garden with veggies ready for the picking. The backyard has a custom-built storage shed with electricity & upright freezer and a new dog kennel for day trips or could easily be converted into a second shed. The property boundary has a creek on one side and a spring on the other. If you love fishing, you'll be as happy as a pig in mud here...the lake is loaded with bass, crappie, bluegill & catfish so bring a boat! The property is 15 minutes to beautiful Tellico Plains with great restaurants, shopping, Tellico River corridor with world class fishing, camping, hiking and the Cherohala Skyway.
