2278 Lower Rinehart Road

Welcome to your private 40-acre mountain retreat -- the perfect blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and convenience. Located just minutes from Douglas Lake for boating and fishing, and a short drive to Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains, this property offers both tranquility and easy access to all East Tennessee has to offer. As you enter the property, you're greeted by a fully stocked pond, ideal for peaceful mornings spent fishing. A paved driveway winds through a lush landscape of native trees, flowering shrubs, and fruit trees, leading you to a beautifully designed home that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Cross the tranquil outdoor living areas to reach the front entry, where expansive views of the rolling East Tennessee foothills and Douglas Lake unfold before you. In the winter months, take in views of English Mountain while soaking in the hot tub on the screened-in deck. Inside, the home boasts thoughtful details throughout -- rounded drywall corners, natural wood accents, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a reclaimed chestnut mantle and custom built-ins sourced from the property's original barn. The great room is designed to capture the surrounding views from every angle. The kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, bar seating, and a large walk-in pantry. A dining area with custom plantation shutters offers just the right amount of natural light. The main-level laundry room includes a full bath and utility sink, perfectly positioned for convenience after time spent outdoors or in the garage. The spacious primary suite is also on the main level and includes a luxurious bath with private access to the hot tub deck. Downstairs, the lower level offers a large family room with an efficiency kitchen, a cozy wood-burning stove, two guest bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous storage area. A side yard gives pets room to roam safely. The oversized garage includes space for two vehicles and a third bay with its own remote door -- perfect for storing an ATV or outdoor equipment. Wildlife is abundant here: deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, and wood ducks are frequent visitors. This is a rare opportunity to own a true East Tennessee mountain retreat. Most furnishings are negotiable. Be sure to ask your agent for the seller's additional remarks in the MLS. The sellers will be happy to share their process in managing the kudzu landscape as you'll have very little to mow to maintain this property. As always buyer to do their own research. This is truly a one-of-a-kind property! Not a drive-by property call your agent to view.
