Step inside and you're greeted by a true cabin atmosphere, highlighted by a stunning two-story natural stone fireplace that serves as the heart of the home.
The outdoor space is just as special, featuring a beautifully landscaped front yard with a koi pond and blooming flowers, along with a wraparound deck and front porch perfect for enjoying the outdoors.

The septic system was inspected and pumped in 2021, giving peace of mind to the next owner. A well-established ATV trail winds through the property, providing easy access to a private hunting area and allowing you to fully enjoy the acreage.
Enjoy the peace of country living while being just minutes from Elizabethton and Johnson City. Spend your weekends fishing or boating on South Holston Lake and Watauga Lake, casting a line in the South Holston River or Watauga River, or catching a race at Bristol Motor Speedway--all just a short drive away.
