2835 Cross Mountain Rd

Welcome to a true equestrian paradise on 15 rolling acres in the heart of Northeast Tennessee's mountain country! This estate directly borders the Cherokee National Forest with Appalachian Trail access on Cross Mountain Road, offering panoramic Blue Ridge views in every direction. EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES are exceptional. The spacious horse barn is fully insulated and heated with wood-burning stove, featuring 11 interior and 2 exterior stalls, a 24x12 tack room, electrical room, automatic water feeders, and an open hay loft. Acres of fully fenced pasture provide ample turnout. A separate 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath guest cottage with charming covered porch and enclosed sunroom overlooks the pastures — ideal for visitors, extended family, or caretaker quarters. SELF-SUFFICIENT LIVING is built into every detail. A true haven for "preppers" and those seeking off-grid security, the property features built-in Generac generators (home and barn), a well with high-capacity holding tank, full water filtration and softening system, tankless water heater, secure rooms, a freezer room for long-term food storage, and a dedicated wine cellar with extensive canning and storage shelving. The custom luxury log home was crafted from massive, hand-hewn logs and offers 4 bedrooms and 3 baths (2BR/2BA on main level, 2BR/1BA lower level). Soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, Tiger Wood hardwood floors, full-log columns, a handcrafted staircase with twig railings, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace showcase exceptional artistry. The chef's kitchen features granite countertops, gas range, custom cabinetry, and walk-in pantry. The lower terrace level includes a great room with antique cookstove, exercise room, safe room, hobby/workshop room, and walkout guest suite. A separate in-home sauna offers a relaxing retreat after a day on the farm. Optional adjoining 21+ acre tract with rustic log cabin available. *Buyer/Buyers agent to verify all information.
