About This Property

This versatile property offers the perfect blend of country living and the convenience of Spectrum Internet and Cable... set in the scenic Rabbitskin area of Jonathan Valley. With a thoughtfully updated home, multiple outbuildings, barns and workshops, and usable pasture acreage, it's ideal for those seeking a working mini-farm, creative retreat, or simply a peaceful lifestyle in the Smoky Mountain foothills. It has been a working artist's studio in the past.

The Home:

Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a bright, sunny, open great room featuring a massive stone fireplace with hearth seating. The updated kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom wood cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area. The main-level bedroom offers vaulted ceilings and a bay window, complemented by a full and half bath on this level.

A glass-enclosed sunroom with soaring vaulted windows opens to an expansive deck-perfect for entertaining or enjoying the tranquil views. Downstairs, a private primary suite includes a spa-like ensuite with double sinks, a large tiled shower, separate water closet, walk-in closet, and patio access with hot tub hookup. The lower level also features a second "canning kitchen", hobby/workshop space, and a large multi-purpose room ideal for a playroom, bunk space, or guest accommodations.
