8612 N Ruggles Ferry Pike, Strawberry Plains, TN 37871

Imagine leaving downtown Knoxville a little early on a Friday afternoon — the sun beginning to dip over the East Tennessee hills as you make that wide turn onto 8612 N Ruggles Ferry Pike. The 11th fairway glows gold in the late-day light, and before you've even parked, your weekend has already begun. This custom 4,400-square-foot brick-and-stone home was built for moments like these — mornings that begin with coffee on the porch and evenings that end with the sound of crickets and the faint echo of a golf ball rolling down the fairway. A covered front porch and solid wood arched door open to a vaulted great room anchored by a stately stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove — the perfect backdrop for cozy winter nights. The chef's kitchen flows into a vaulted dining area framed by panoramic golf-course views, while sliding doors open to a covered back porch made for quiet coffee, golden-hour gatherings, and those unforgettable Tennessee sunsets. The primary suite is a sanctuary of calm — tray ceiling, spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, and a custom closet designed for everyday ease. Each additional bedroom offers its own ensuite bath for privacy and comfort. The daylight walk-out lower level expands the living space with a recreation area, home gym, kitchenette, and screened patio that connects seamlessly to the fairway beyond. Every element of this home was crafted to capture the most beautiful hours of East Tennessee — the hush of dawn across the greens, the laughter of family by the fire, and the peace of sunrise and sunset from your own private retreat.
