Welcome to your dream mountain sanctuary in the heart of East Tennessee, where nature's beauty meets modern conveniences. Nestled on a serene, sprawling property that borders the expansive Cherokee National Forest, this land offers a unique opportunity to create a peaceful retreat with endless potential. This exceptional property boasts a meticulously crafted ecological food forest—a permaculture garden project featuring a diverse array of fruit-bearing trees and beneficial shrubs. The landscape is teeming with life, including peach, pawpaw, persimmon, and cherry trees, along with blueberries, hazelnuts, and many more varieties designed to thrive in the region's climate. With dedicated spaces for annual gardening, this food forest is an ideal setting for those passionate about sustainable living and cultivating their own harvest. Just beyond the garden, the French Broad River winds its way through the lush valley below, visible from various points of the property, including the driveway. This view is truly breathtaking, offering a peaceful and picturesque backdrop to everyday life. The nearly completed 1,150 sq. ft. lofted cabin is brimming with potential. With its charming design and cozy interior, it provides the perfect blend of rustic mountain aesthetics and modern comfort. All it needs is a bit more siding to finish the exterior, and the house will be ready to embrace its full potential. With underground electricity already installed, you can enjoy uninterrupted, unobstructed views without the clutter of overhead power lines. Additionally, the property is well-prepped for further infrastructure, with options for a septic system and water access via a well or by tapping into a nearby natural spring. The expertly poured gravel driveway ensures year-round access, even in the heaviest of rains. Whether you plan to make this your permanent home or a weekend getaway, this retreat is designed for seclusion and comfort, all while offering easy accessibility. One of the property's most unique and thrilling features is its direct access to the Cherokee National Forest, a vast 12,500-acre wilderness that offers unparalleled opportunities for hiking, exploring, and hunting. From your doorstep, you can hike through the national forest and into the Great Smoky Mountains, with the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail just beyond, offering endless adventure without ever crossing private property. Whether you envision building a sustainable homestead, a luxurious mountain lodge, or a cozy off-grid cabin, this property provides a canvas to bring your vision to life. The land's natural features and proximity to hiking trails, lakes, and charming mountain towns make it a truly rare find.
