Résidence Unifamiliale À Elizabethton

Tucked away at the end of a private three-quarter-mile gravel drive, this remarkable 78.22-acre mountain estate offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, history, and complete seclusion. At its heart is a 3,036-square-foot farmhouse-style residence whose story began with an original smokehouse--an enduring piece of Tennessee heritage that adds character and romance to this one-of-a-kind home. Much of the stone and wood used in its construction was sourced directly from the surrounding acreage, giving the residence an authentic connection to the land.
Inside, the three-bedroom, two-bath home feels warm, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. Crown molding and a blend of hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring extend throughout the residence. The impressive 27-foot-by-27-foot main living area is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with an oversized hearth and wood-burning iron stove insert. A rustic staircase rises from the spacious entry, while a loft overlooking the living area provides a versatile third bedroom or private guest space. Additional gathering areas include a comfortable family sitting room, formal dining room, and a quiet reading room made for slow mornings and peaceful evenings.
The 19.5-foot kitchen offers custom cabinetry, tiled countertops, a large center island, and KitchenAid appliances, including a cooktop, convection oven, and matching microwave vent hood. The oversized primary suite measures approximately 23 by 17 feet, while the spacious second bedroom includes its own small loft area. A barn door adds rustic charm to the laundry room, and a covered porch extending from the main living area overlooks a large stone water fountain, creating a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the sounds of the surrounding landscape.
Outside, a year-round creek winds through the yard, wraps around the home, and continues across the property. The homesite is completely private, surrounded by gently rising wooded slopes and rolling pasture. Of the 78.22 acres, approximately 23.22 acres are pasture, 54 acres are wooded, and one acre encompasses the homesite. A substantial 48-by-70-foot barn provides multiple stalls and generous storage for tractors, equipment, recreational vehicles, and other necessities. Two wells serve the property, one supplying the residence and the second dedicated to the stone fountain.
The land itself is every bit as impressive as the home. Cherokee National Forest borders the property for approximately three-quarters of a mile, placing thousands of acres of public land within reach for hiking, hunting, horseback riding, and year-round recreation. A winding UTV trail provides access throughout the acreage, while whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear are frequently seen. Chestnut oak, white oak, poplar, hemlock, dogwood, holly, Chinese maple, and weeping cherry trees add seasonal color and natural beauty throughout the property.
With numerous potential building sites across the rolling pasture, this estate offers possibilities well beyond a private mountain residence. It could serve as an exceptional hunting retreat, vacation homestead, multigenerational property, or the foundation for an upscale cabin or tiny-home rental destination. Whether kept as a secluded personal sanctuary or developed into something larger, this is a property where Tennessee history, mountain beauty, and opportunity come together in an extraordinary way.
