About This Home

488 Cad Campbell Road is set on 20.8 unrestricted acres. This property offers a rare mix of natural beauty and usability—featuring open meadows, pasture areas, and untouched woods, all tucked into a scenic mountain valley with only one neighboring property in sight. Accessed by a well-maintained gravel road, the setting feels private and peaceful, yet far from isolated. For those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this property delivers. With mountain spring water servicing the home—and even a gravity-fed spigot in the event of a power outage—off-grid capability could become a reality with a few more adjustments. The fully renovated kitchen features new cabinetry, appliances, and lighting. A separate laundry room includes a new washer and dryer. The home is heated with a wood stove and propane wall heater. There are two mini splits on site that just need to be installed. Additional updates include double-pane windows and new flooring throughout. The main level offers two bedrooms and a refinished bathroom.Upstairs, a flexible third space provides the perfect opportunity for an additional living area, office, or studio—framed by windows that capture both front and back views of the property. The property also features excellent foraging, abundant wildlife, a small cellar for storage, a cinderblock outbuilding, and a large barn with previous electric and water access—ready to be brought back to life with a little vision. A beautiful stream divides the property from the neighboring owner that you have access to as well! All of this, just under 4 minutes to Dollar General, approximately 30 minutes to Burnsville or Spruce Pine, and 35 minutes to Johnson City—offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Offered as-is, this property is move-in ready for comfortable living today, while still leaving room for you to make it entirely your own. No Drivebys! Showings by appointment only!
