HISTORIC RIVER ROCK ESTATE | 14.7 ACRES | MOUNTAIN & NATIONAL FOREST VIEWS | MAIN-LEVEL PRIMARY | PASTURE | HORSE & MINI-FARM POTENTIAL | PRIVATE WOODED TRAILS Discover a rare East Tennessee mountain estate at 1812 N Main Avenue in Erwin, Tennessee. Built in 1932 from locally sourced river rock and situated on approximately 14.7 private acres, this one-of-a-kind historic home combines timeless architecture, usable acreage, open pasture, wooded trails, mountain views, and remarkable privacy--all with convenient access to I-26, Johnson City, healthcare, ETSU, and the outdoor recreation of the Appalachian Highlands. From the circular drive, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with its distinctive river rock exterior, expansive covered porches, mature landscaping, and views toward Cherokee National Forest. Nearly a century of craftsmanship remains throughout the interior, including original oak hardwood floors, original windows, cypress exterior doors, solid oak interior doors, period chandeliers, and multiple wood-burning fireplaces. The renovated kitchen thoughtfully blends historic character with modern functionality, featuring Bosch appliances, convection oven, granite countertops, generous cabinetry, and a large center island. An adjoining mudroom provides laundry space, pantry storage, and convenient everyday organization. A sought-after main-level primary bedroom adds flexibility for one-level living, while spacious living and dining areas and additional bedrooms provide room for family, guests, a home office, or extended stays. The acreage is what truly sets this property apart. Open pasture and gently maintained grounds create possibilities for horses, a mini-farm, homesteading, gardening, recreation, or additional improvements, while private wooded walking trails wind through mature hardwoods and natural wildlife habitat. Established blueberry bushes, mountain scenery, and peaceful outdoor spaces create the feeling of a secluded country retreat without sacrificing access to town. Additional property features include a detached two-car garage, unfinished basement, slate patio, existing well and pump house, CAT6 wiring, 2021 roof, and newer septic system. The unfinished lower level provides valuable storage and additional possibilities for a workshop, hobby space, wine storage, or other uses. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is exceptional. Enjoy convenient access to Cherokee National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, hiking, fishing, rafting, mountain biking, waterfalls, and the Nolichucky River, while downtown Erwin, Johnson City, ETSU, Johnson City Medical Center, the VA Medical Center, shopping, and dining remain within easy reach. For buyers relocating to the region, Northeast Tennessee offers the combination of mountain living, four-season outdoor recreation, lower-density living, and Tennessee's lack of an individual state income tax on wages.
