Built in 2021, this custom-designed home sits on 16+ unrestricted acres in the Cowee community. Sweeping panoramic views, a small creek with branch-sized falls, and abundant wildlife make this property something special. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open living space with natural light. Brazilian hardwood floors, tongue and groove wood ceilings, custom kitchen cabinets, and a cast iron free-standing fireplace create a warmth that photos barely capture. A bedroom loft overlooks the main living area, adding character and flexibility to the space. The south-facing deck brings the views right to your doorstep. A paved driveway leads to a 2-car drive-under garage, with a 3-level dedicated woodworking shop/barn rounding out the outbuildings. A natural spring, private well and septic keep this property fully self-sufficient. Rolling terrain with a mix of open park-like lawn and mature hardwoods — no HOA, no restrictions, and no neighbors crowding you in. About 20 minutes to downtown Franklin for dining, shopping, and everyday needs.
