Single Family Detached Madisonville

Some properties you drive past. This one you discover. Ten minutes from shopping and dining in Madisonville, 3300 Ballplay Road unfolds across five acres on the Little Tennessee River, with 103 feet of frontage, river and mountain views from the house, and a level of privacy that is almost impossible to find this close to town.

It begins the moment you turn in from the road. Three of the five acres open up in front of you, level, cleared and ready for whatever you want this land to become: a garden, animals, a ballfield or simply wide open space. There are no restrictions, so bring the hunting gear too. Out on the open land, a detached two-car garage and workshop with power and water stands ready for the equipment, the toys and the weekend projects.

Then the driveway climbs. It rises onto a plateau where the home sits wrapped in mature trees, hidden from the world and open to the view. From up here you can see the river below and the mountains beyond. Step onto the wraparound covered porch and everything slows down. Morning coffee comes with the water in sight, and evenings end with the sun dropping behind the ridgeline and the wildlife stepping out at the edge of the trees.

Inside, the great room soars to cathedral ceilings, warmed by a wood-burning stove, with walls of windows framing the river and the mountains. The kitchen gathers everyone around a large island with new appliances. Two bedrooms sit on the main level, and new HVAC, new flooring and fresh paint mean the work is already done.

The entire second floor belongs to the primary suite, a true retreat with its own office area, an en-suite bath and a private covered deck overlooking the land and the mountains. Up on the third floor, a finished loft becomes a playroom, guest space or quiet hideaway. Below the home, an unfinished basement workshop with its own exterior entry adds even more room to work.

From the plateau, the land rolls gently down the hill to the river’s edge. The frontage is a strong candidate for a private dock (TVA permit required), and a neighbor two doors down already has one.

You get open land at the front, a hidden home in the trees and the river at the bottom of the hill with mountains 360 degrees around you. Properties like this rarely come to market, and at this price there is nothing else like it in the area.
