Green Mountain Cottage is lovely.
This is not a typical log cabin! This is a unique opportunity to own a very early old, rustic family cottage whose history has been traced to the first owner, James Baxter (1793 or 1783 to 1866)
This 100 + yr. old cottage is located in Cosby, TN. Green Mountain Cottage has a year round creek running beside it.
The cottage sits on 1.7 acres, nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains. It is 1193 square feet and It has been fully refurbished with great effort taken to retain its authentic rustic heritage while also offering modern day amenities.
The renovation includes an efficient and effective HVAC system, propane fireplace and a tankless hot water heater. There is a separate well house/laundry building at the rear of the cottage. The cottage has its own well and septic system. The Cottage is equipped with high-speed WIFI and has all excellent appliances for your convenience and comfort.
The cottage has retained much of its the history and character. We kept many of the original walls, you can even see the marks from the old sawmill blades! There was nothing we could do about the uneven floors and uneven walls, but all these certainly add to the character of Green Mountain Cottage.
The ground floor is 1193 sq ft with a 1 queen bedroom, and a 1 full size bedroom. There is also a kitchen, and dining room that has access to the back porch and yard with seating, a firepit and a BBQ. The spacious living room has a corner propane fireplace. There is a full bathroom with walk in shower.
Up fairly steep, original stairs is 523 sq. ft. with great storage. Upstairs with 1 bedroom with twin beds, sitting area and full bath with claw foot tub.
We are offering this cottage for sale as either a single family home or as a successful Airbnb/VERBO listing.
Owner financing is available.
