For the first time EVER on the market, discover this Hidden Legacy Estate tucked away on over 4.6 sprawling acres- spanning the ENTIRE CUL-DE-SAC- in the heart of Hixson.
This meticulously maintained property offers a rare level of versatility, thoughtfully designed as a dual-residence retreat- providing the perfect solution for multi-generational living, a high-end home business, or expansive guest quarters.
The main level greets you with beautiful cedar-trimmed ceilings and a magnificent two-story passive solar sunroom. This architectural highlight is a key component of the home's passive solar design, where high-end Pella windows use the sun's energy to naturally regulate temperature and flood the home with gorgeous light.
The primary residence features a spacious layout with 3 bedrooms (all with walk-in closets), including a cozy basement den anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace and integrated 'Buck' wood-burning stove. The primary kitchen offers solid wood cabinetry and newer stainless steel appliances. The attached second residence is fully equipped with 2 additional bedrooms, its own full kitchen, living area with built-ins, a laundry closet, and a private screened-in porch.
The outdoor living space is a true sanctuary. Enjoy over 2,300 sq. ft. of TimberTech decking and TREX handrail system (2018), leading to a state-of-the-art SwimSpa featuring a custom electric cover for effortless year-round fitness and relaxation. The lush grounds feature thoughtful landscaping, a turf putting green, a hot tub, and a fully fenced tennis court.
Accessibility is a priority here- the home is designed for all ages with a no-stairs entry via a ramp leading to the screened-in porch off the primary kitchen.
With a BRAND NEW roof (2025), durable Rhino Shield exterior coating, and a TVA Energy Saver certification, this unique property is an incredibly rare find in a remarkably convenient location. Don't miss your opportunity to make it yours!
