Single Family Residence In Rutledge

If you’ve been dreaming about a place where you can actually breathe -- where your nearest neighbor isn’t close enough to hear your business, and your backyard is 31 acres of Tennessee mountain and timber -- this is it.
The house itself is a cozy, wood-sided cabin sitting at the end of a dead-end road off Highway 11W. That means easy access when you need it, and total privacy when you don’t. Pull up the gravel drive and you’re already exhaling. The poplar hardwood floors, fireplace, and built-in shelving give the living room that warm, settled-in feeling -- like the house has good bones and someone genuinely loved it.

The layout is practical and livable: an open flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen on the main floor, one bedroom up, and a finished basement with a second bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and extra bonus space. There’s room for family, a guest, a home office, or a hobby space -- whatever you need it to be.

But honestly? The land is what makes this place special. There’s a two-acre, spring-fed pond -- 26 feet deep and stocked with bass and bluegill -- sitting right on the property. It has a dock. You can fish it from your own backyard. The aerial photos don’t do it justice; the pond photo in summer makes it look like a painting.

For anyone who wants to grow their own food, this setup is already ahead of the game. There’s a greenhouse, multiple raised garden beds, fruit trees, nut trees, and tire planters ready to go. The 24x40 pole barn has a full concrete floor, electricity, and plumbing -- it’s not a leaky old shed, it’s a serious working building.

This place is perfect for a homesteader, a prepper, someone who just wants space and self-sufficiency, or a family that wants land their kids can actually roam. Mountain views, mature timber, a pond, a barn, and a house that feels like home -- all right off a paved highway so you’re never truly off the grid unless you want to be.
