Looking for that true East Tennessee mountain escape with a small‑town feel? This home offers just that. Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountain range, it's surrounded by rolling hills and the well‑kept charm of the Alford Development. The 0.5‑acre lot provides plenty of space, while open land around the community invites exploration and a sense of freedom.
In less than 15 minutes, you can be at Cherokee Lake or the Holston River—perfect for weekends filled with fishing, boating, camping, hiking, or off‑roading. The drive into the neighborhood sets the tone: you'll pass through classic East Tennessee scenery—barns, farmland, and friendly faces—before arriving in this newer, beautifully maintained community where you'll instantly feel at home.
Families will appreciate being in the Grainger County/Rutledge school zone, where smaller class sizes mean more personal attention for students compared to larger city districts. And for those who love to ride, Rutledge is tucked deep into the mountains, offering endless scenic routes, relaxed adventures, and breathtaking views at every turn.
This is more than just a home—it's a lifestyle with large walk in closets in each room, all rooted in the beauty, tradition, and slower pace of East Tennessee living.
