About This Home
Welcome to an extraordinary East Tennessee luxury estate encompassing 92.89± surveyed acres of rolling countryside, premium improvements, abundant water features, and outstanding recreational opportunities. A scenic entrance crosses a spring-fed pond with a fountain and waterfall cascading over a stacked stone retaining wall, setting the tone for this peaceful and impressive property. At the heart of the estate is a custom 6,487-square-foot residence designed for luxury, comfort, and functionality. The main level features six bedrooms, four with ensuite baths, multiple living areas, an upgraded chef's kitchen, elegant dining space, laundry room, butler's pantry, and a built-in safe room with a vault door. Six-inch oak flooring and pine-paneled walls and ceilings add warmth and character throughout. The great room includes a wood-burning stove and direct access to a large storage or workout room. The chef's kitchen is equipped with a six-burner Dacor gas range, stainless KitchenAid appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry. Large windows in the dining area overlook the live spring, waterfall, and pond, creating breathtaking views. The upper level functions as a private suite with its own entrance and balcony, offering two bedrooms, a full bath, living room with wood-burning stove, dining area, and kitchen. Accessible through the main home or a private exterior entrance, it is ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. Outdoor amenities are equally impressive. The in-ground pool was updated in 2023 with a new heater, pump, and liner. A covered pavilion features a wood-burning fireplace, authentic Italian pizza oven, outdoor sink, bar refrigerator, outdoor shower, bathroom access, and entry to an additional bedroom and game room, creating the perfect year-round entertainment space. The farm is well-suited for livestock or equestrian use, featuring an eight-stall barn, additional pavilion, fenced riding ring, and multiple implement sheds. Mostly open pastureland with gently rolling terrain is ideal for horses, livestock, or hay production, while timbered areas provide wildlife habitat and privacy. Water resources are exceptional, including Lee Spring, which feeds the pond and gravel terrace area, and Wilson Branch Creek flowing through the property. A fully equipped 600-square-foot tiny home/office offers a full kitchen, luxury bath, laundry room, private bedroom, living area, and oversized front porch. Additional improvements include a 30x80 spray-foam-insulated Quonset hut with oversized 14x14 doors, 200-amp service, and plumbing for future expansion. Seven additional RV sites feature full hookups with 70-amp service, water, sewer, and spacious pads for guests or business opportunities. The property is equipped with a three-car garage, fiber internet, two deep-water wells, and extensive backup power systems, including a 26kW Generac generator, 46kW solar array, battery banks, 1,000-gallon LPG tank, and an additional 16kW generator at the barn. Currently operating as an event venue, this versatile Tennessee estate offers luxury living, guest accommodations, recreational opportunities, abundant water features, and income potential. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, multi-generational family compound, recreational farm, investment property, or country getaway, this exceptional estate delivers unmatched quality and endless possibilities.
