MOTIVATED SELLERS! Privacy. Views. Space. Character. All four -- and just minutes from town. Seller offering $5k in closing costs for the buyer. Nestled on over 16 private acres of mature hardwood timber, this handcrafted log cabin delivers the East Tennessee mountain lifestyle in full -- panoramic views, abundant wildlife, and the kind of complete privacy that's nearly impossible to find this close to everything. You're minutes from Norris Lake and I-75, 40 miles from Knoxville, yet fully tucked away in your own wooded world. Inside, nearly 2,900 square feet spread across three levels with soaring cathedral ceilings, handcrafted log details, a stone fireplace, and walls of windows framing the mountains beyond. The open main level flows to a full-length covered porch, the upper level is a dedicated master suite with full bath, and the finished walkout basement adds flexible space for guests, a home office, or recreation. Outside, the property earns its acreage. A detached 2-car garage with side entry handles vehicles, equipment, and extra storage. A chain-link kennel area keeps four-legged family members happy (or chickens). A secluded area on the property lends itself naturally to primitive camping, hunting, or a private retreat space with real income potential. Above the home, a cleared flat area with a small shed opens the door to a garden, camping, or second build site-- the possibilities are genuinely endless on 16.4 unrestricted acres with an on-site spring-fed water supply. The acreage is the real story. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, vacation getaway, short-term rental investment, or a legacy property to pass down, this one delivers the East Tennessee lifestyle buyers dream about -- and the land to back it up. With numerous updates completed in recent years--including new fascia and gutters, an updated HVAC system, and fresh exterior staining--it's move-in ready, allowing you to settle in and immediately enjoy the quiet beauty of mountain living. *All information contained herein is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
