    What's special

    A Rare Mountain Retreat on Signal Mountain -- 6.84 Acres Bordering North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Park Escape to your own private mountain sanctuary atop highly sought-after Signal Mountain. Nestled on 6.84 acres and bordering over 6,000 acres of protected wilderness in North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Park, this stunning true log home offers an extraordinary blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Situated at the East end of Walden's Ridge, it looks directly out at Mowbray Mountain. With five bedrooms, three full baths, and three levels of living space, this spacious cabin retreat is designed for both everyday comfort and unforgettable gatherings. Soaring cathedral ceilings, massive exposed log beams, and walls of windows create a warm, inviting atmosphere that embraces the surrounding beauty. Step outside to expansive decks and a private sunroom where you can sip your morning coffee while watching the sunrise, listening to birdsong, and taking in breathtaking views of nature. Deer, hawks, eagles, wild turkeys, and abundant wildlife are frequent visitors, creating a peaceful setting that feels worlds away from the hustle of everyday life. For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is truly unmatched. Hiking trails, fishing, scenic overlooks, and endless opportunities for exploration are just steps from your front door. Whether you enjoy mountain adventures or simply relaxing in nature, this property offers a lifestyle many only dream about. The home features two primary suites, three additional bedrooms, generous storage space, built-in shelving, a workshop area, and a wood-burning stove in the Great Room that provides both warmth and peace of mind during power outages. The property is served by a private well with water softener, while public water is available at the road. Current utility costs are minimal, with only electric and internet service through EPB. Located within the gated community of Boston Branch, owners have the optional opportunity to join the HOA for $840 annually, providing access to community amenities including a private park, fishing dock, and 17+ acre lake. Adding even more value, the acreage may offer the potential to subdivide into 3-4 additional building lots, creating opportunities for future development, family compounds, or investment potential. Families will appreciate being zoned for Signal Mountain's award-winning schools, while still enjoying convenient access to nearby amenities. You're less than 30 minutes from Signal Mountain favorites such as The Bread Basket, Pruett's Market, and Signal Mountain Golf & Country Club, with easy access to Highway 27, Highway 153, Hixson, North Shore, and downtown Chattanooga. Properties offering this level of privacy, acreage, natural beauty, and location rarely become available. Except in the dead of winter, when all the leaves are gone, your view does not include any neighboring homes. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this extraordinary retreat delivers a lifestyle unlike any other. Come experience the peace, beauty, and freedom of mountain living from your own private deck overlooking one of Tennessee's most treasured natural landscapes.
