Tucked away on 5.45 unrestricted acres adjoining the U.S. Forest Service, this one-of-a-kind modern style home offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural character, and direct access to public land. From your own property, explore the surrounding forest or venture on to beautiful Lake Hiwassee, making this an exceptional setting for hiking, wildlife watching, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of the mountains. An abundance of windows fills the home with natural light and brings the beauty of the wooded setting inside. Major updates have already been completed, including new windows in 2020 and a new roof and siding in 2024, interior freshly painted. The full basement features a spacious two-car garage with plenty of room for vehicles, outdoor equipment, and additional storage and full bathroom. Outside, a small barn and open pasture create the perfect setup for farm animals, gardening, or a hobby mini farm. The property also includes a private shooting range, offering a convenient place for target practice without ever leaving home. Whether you're looking for a private full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a property with endless recreational right from your backyard, this unique mountain home offers the freedom of unrestricted acreage, the privacy of a U.S. Forest Service boundary, and an unbeatable connection to nature that is increasingly hard to find.
