Ever caught yourself daydreaming about having a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in exchange for a spring-fed pond and mountain views? You may just have found it! The perfect gentlemen's farm. Sitting on 30 gorgeous acreages close to where Tennessee meets Virginia, this three-bedroom, two-bath home is a playground for family and friends to enjoy. Inside, the large open floor concept invites everyone to gather around and talk. The kitchen shines with granite counters and lots of open space at the island to cook and serve meals. This place just feels peaceful and unhurried. The home itself is built from insulated concrete forms for top-notch energy efficiency, with roof-mounted solar panels for backup power, triple-pane windows, a soapstone wood stove, and a clever heat-trapping wall that keeps things cozy all winter. Beautiful mountain views looking outside give a feeling of serenity. Off the primary bedroom you will find a screened in porch for lazy evenings sitting and relaxing while listening to the crickets and frogs sing or step outside and gaze up at the beautiful star filled sky on clear nights. The land is already fenced and ready for horses, cattle, goats, chickens, sheep -- basically whatever critters you've been dreaming about. There's livestock water tank, for boundary watering, plenty of room to add paddocks and an arena for your horses, plus a big metal barn and a metal garage for all your gear. Green thumbs and green-living folks, take note. The garden space, greenhouse, rain barrel, and cistern make growing your own food ridiculously easy. Practical and planet-friendly! Getting bored inside? Head on outside, you've got woods for hiking, trails for four-wheelers, and great rabbit and dove hunting right at home. Lots of timber to sawmill your own lumber if you choose to. The spring fed pond is perfect for the wildlife sanctuary to grow. Great property to use as an Airbnb for all the activities annually occurring around the area. Bristol Motor Speedway spring and fall races, Rhythm and Roots music festival and with South Holston Lake just minutes away, who could resist a week vacation here on this homestead. Neighbors are fantastic, the pace is slow, and Bristol Caverns, Observation Knob Park, and Bristol Motor Speedway are all close for weekend fun, with grocery runs a quick hop into town. Great property to make your home, a weekend getaway or a revenue generating rental property when you aren't using it. Come see it -- your quieter, greener life is waiting. Priced under appraised value.
