Some properties you drive past. This one you discover. 10 minutes from shopping and dining in Madisonville, this property unfolds across five acres on the Little Tennessee River, with 103 feet of frontage, river and mountain views from the house, and a level of privacy that is almost impossible to find. 3 of the 5 acres are level, cleared and ready for whatever you want this land to become: a garden, space for animals, or simply wide open space. There are no restrictions, so bring the hunting gear too. A detached two-car garage and workshop with power and water stands ready for the equipment, the toys and the weekend projects. The home sits wrapped in mature trees. From the house you see the river below and the mountains beyond. Step onto the wraparound covered porch and everything slows down. Morning coffee comes with the water in sight, and evenings end with the sun dropping behind the ridgeline. Inside, the great room soars to cathedral ceilings, warmed by a wood-burning stove, with walls of windows framing the river and the mountains. The kitchen gathers everyone around a large island with new appliances. Two bedrooms sit on the main level, and new HVAC, new flooring and fresh paint mean the work is already done. The entire second floor belongs to the primary suite, a true retreat with its own office area, an en-suite bath and a private covered deck overlooking the land and the mountains. On the third floor, a finished loft becomes a playroom, guest space or quiet hideaway. Below the home, an unfinished basement workshop with its own exterior entry adds even more room to work. From the plateau, the land rolls gently down the hill to the river's edge. The frontage is a strong candidate for a private dock (permit required). You get open land at the front, a hidden home in the trees and the river at the bottom of the hill with mountains all around you. Properties like this rarely come to market, and at this price there is nothing else like it.
