Escape to your own private sanctuary on nearly 30 UNRESTRICTED ACRES just
outside Athens! This property, encompassing East Tennessee beauty, begins with a long private drive leading to a gorgeous 4 BR/2.5 BA colonial-style home that blends timeless charm with modern updates! Whether you are dreaming of a working farm, event venue, private equestrian estate, or simply a peaceful nature retreat, this home is just for you.
The charming home, filled with shiplap, wainscotting, and unique touches is perched among the trees, giving it a peaceful, ''treehouse'' feel. Before entering, take notice of the natural beauty of the flagstone flooring of the covered front porch along with well-appointed yet simple to maintain landscaping.
Inside, you're welcomed by a warm and inviting library with custom built-ins, soaring ceilings, and large windows
that flood the room with natural light. The cozy living room features shiplap walls and a wood-burning brick fireplace, perfect for those crisp fall and winter evenings. Throughout the home, you'll find a mix of hardwoods and LVP flooring, combining timeless beauty with modern durability. The eat-in kitchen boasts solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and direct access to a large deck perfect for grilling and entertaining while soaking in the views. Upstairs, the primary suite is a tranquil haven, featuring an ensuite bath with gorgeous Italian tile floors and shower surround. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath provide ample space for family, guests, or a home office.
The home is just the beginning! Step outside to explore the the massive 56'
x 108' HORSE BARN with electricity, concrete flooring, a newer metal roof and
siding, that offers limitless potential with no restrictions holding you back. It currently serves as a workshop, vehicle storage and multipurpose space but the existing horse stalls can house up to 10 -12 horses for those equestrian enthusiasts. This versatile structure could easily be transformed into a stunning event venue, spacious workspace, workshop or storage. The land itself is a nature lover's paradise with winding trails, natural springs, and a seasonal spring-fed pond that can reach up to 12 feet deep in springtime. Greenbelt status helps keep property taxes low. With a NEW ROOF, recent updates throughout,
and no restrictions, this home is ready for your next adventure!
