Come on Home to Tennessee and tour this true log home which is nestled in the Appalachian Mountains! Would make a great hunting lodge or private retreat in the mountains with three sides of the property joining The Cherokee National Forest which allows hunting with 650,000 acres to explore! This community has a gated entrance, beautiful mountain views, and a community pond for relaxing by the water and fishing! This mountain oasis has ''room to roam'' with 12.57 acres of privacy and seclusion! Owner just cleaned and brightened the chinking between the logs and applied Australian Timber Oil to the porches. Step inside this custom built, green energy efficient Log Home into an open floor plan featuring 20' Cathedral ceilings throughout the home with beautiful tongue and groove ceilings and hand hued wooden beams! A loft overlooks the kitchen and dining area providing an area for additional storage with a custom crafted ladder for easy access. A warm and quaint 98% efficient wood burning stove adds comfort and ambiance to this TN mountain home while a 1.5 ton mini-split is available if needed. Home is wired with an automatic throw over switch should new homeowner choose to install solar panels. The kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and nature views from every window! Sustainable bamboo flooring is throughout the home with tile flooring in the bathroom. New high efficiency windows were installed in 2025. Most of the furniture (excluding family room furniture) can remain including a massive bookcase which pivots to reveal a secret walk-in pantry! The great room is open to the kitchen/dining area and is positioned to take advantage of the gorgeous sunsets! With so much nature around, you are beckoned to come outside and relax on the covered wrap around porch where you can sit back and enjoy the environment and the birds from the rocking chairs and porch swing or relax in the new (2024) 8 person hot tub tucked off to the side of the porch as you take in the most amazing sunsets East TN has to offer! The property has raised vegetable gardens, established perennial herbs, and an orchard which includes 6 apple trees, 3 blueberry bushes, 3 raspberry bushes, blackberry bushes, 10 grape vines, a fig tree, tart cherry tree, ever bearing strawberries, asparagus and 4 prize rose bushes are right off the front porch! Owner says the newer lawn mower can also remain and his tractor with box blade is negotiable. Out back, you will find a 14x20 workshop thoughtfully built with dimensional lumber for crafts and hobbies. Maybe transform this building into a tiny home?? This mountain home has a deep water well which the owner states is fantastic! The possibility exists for another home to be built on the property that would be located just up the hill from the existing home which has the most breathtaking mountain views! Although you have the feeling of living ''off of the grid,'' you are just 15 minutes to the Hartford exit and another 5 minutes to Newport for shopping and dining. The Pigeon River and Big Creek are minutes from this property where you can take advantage of river rafting in the mountains! You are just minutes from the Appalachian Trail, Max Patch, and Hot Springs NC. You are less than an hour away from Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Douglas Lake for entertainment, shopping, and fine dining. Hunting is permissible in the Cherokee National Forest adjacent to this property.
