About This Home

As of October 2023

Why settle for a house on a lot when you can own a piece of the Smoky Mountains? This beautiful retreat overlooks a tranquil valley with a dramatic view of the Appalachian Trail ridgeline in the distance. Sitting on 36+ private acres adjacent to National Forest, this beautiful custom home includes a spacious great room, master bedroom suite, guest room, and utility room with access to an attached carport, while the lower walkout level includes a large recreation room, bedroom, 3 bonus rooms, and full bath. Enjoy breathtaking views from almost every room. The two-car detached garage sits above a 575 sq.ft. workshop! The cozy fire pit area creates a “campground” feel on a lower terrace. The woods are filled with wonder and wildlife. An old logging road makes for easy hiking or a fun ATV ride. A spring-fed stream flows through the middle of the property with another possible house site at the summit of the ridge. The access road is paved to the door of the house for a beautiful and easy drive home. The town of Franklin is only 10 minutes away (with a new hospital and grocery store). Please call for more information or to arrange your visit today!
