Tucked away on 3.58 wooded acres atop Lookout Mountain, this authentic two-story log home offers the privacy, craftsmanship, and peaceful surroundings that are becoming increasingly difficult to find. You'll love the wide open spaces indoors and out!
Bordered by larger adjacent tracts, the property provides a secluded setting where the sounds of birdsong and the changing seasons fill the air. Inside, the great room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a substantial wood-burning brick fireplace in a living area opening on two sides to the outdoors. The open living and dining areas flow naturally into the kitchen, while the primary suite opens to its own private balcony overlooking the surrounding woods. A covered porch extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings or unwind at the end of the day. Outside, you'll find a covered carport with storage, wooded walking paths, a fire pit gathering area, and a clean, dry crawlspace that reflects thoughtful maintenance. The home is currently covered by an active pest control contract with regular inspections for added peace of mind. Lovingly enjoyed over the years, this genuine mountain home offers the opportunity to personalize and update at your own pace while enjoying it comfortably from day one. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a private mountain retreat, this property offers something increasingly rare: authentic character, lasting craftsmanship, and room to breathe.
