Country Living with Southern Charm on 8.8 Acres - Just Minutes from Town and 45 Minutes to Chattanooga, TN
Welcome home to a place where Southern hospitality meets peaceful country living. Nestled on 8.8 beautiful acres just minutes from town and only 45 minutes from Chattanooga, this inviting property offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and opportunity. Whether you're dreaming of starting a small farm, growing a garden, or simply enjoying the quiet life, this home is ready to welcome you.
Step inside to find a beautifully updated kitchen featuring all-wood cabinets crafted by a local cabinet shop, sleek stainless steel appliances, and a timeless white subway tile backsplash. The new LVP flooring throughout the main living areas adds a fresh, modern touch, while the ceramic tile in the kitchen brings both style and durability. A large window in the cozy living room fills the space with natural light, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the view of your land.
A separate dining room offers flexibility—it can serve as a traditional dining space for family gatherings or easily convert into a fourth bedroom if you need the extra space. The home also features a new roof, a new hot water heater, and reliable fiber internet, perfect for those who work from home or love streaming their favorite shows. Step out back to a private patio where you can sip your morning coffee or enjoy a peaceful evening under the stars.
The land itself is what truly makes this property special. With two older wells perfect for gardening or watering animals, mature blueberry bushes ready for picking, and plenty of room for vegetables, flowers, or livestock, the possibilities are endless. A 12x16 shed with a lean-to provides extra storage or space for tools, and the large front yard with generous road frontage would be perfect for a charming farm stand.
This property combines the best of rural living with modern updates and easy access to town conveniences.
