This beautiful home offers a rare mix of gorgeous scenery and natural privacy. Built bordering conservation-protected Marble Bluff, your 5.6 acres include the entire private hillside, ensuring your peaceful surroundings and dramatic vistas are permanent and can never be built out. Outside, the land acts as a private park, featuring a large, flat fenced-in yard. A mowed walking path invites you to explore beyond the backyard and into the surrounding acreage. Within the neighborhood, enjoy amenities, including a private dock, beautiful covered pavilion, and boat ramp on the Tennessee River. Inside, the 2-story home feels bright, warm and welcoming, with abundant natural light throughout. The spacious kitchen features quartz countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and a large peninsula with seating, opening to a sun-filled breakfast area surrounded by windows and views of the wooded landscape. The main living space is anchored by a cozy propane fireplace, while large windows throughout the home provide remarkable views and bring the surrounding scenery indoors. The primary bedroom feels especially peaceful, with windows overlooking the trees and with mountain views for miles. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a mudroom, and a large bonus room, the home offers plenty of space, storage, and flexibility. Beyond the home's beautiful setting and inviting interior, thoughtful improvements include a professionally encapsulated crawlspace and established raised garden beds to add to the enjoyment of the property. Updated community guidelines also allow for approved secondary structures, including detached garages and workshops--an added benefit for those seeking acreage with room for hobbies, storage or additional garage space. With newer construction, private acreage, protected views, and river access, this property offers a beautiful combination that's increasingly hard to find in East Tennessee.
