About this home
See VIRTUAL TOUR/VIDEO! Welcome to a rare 5-acre mountain retreat, privately positioned at the highest point on the ridge and surrounded by over 500 acres of permanently protected wilderness in the rolling hills of East Tennessee. Located just one mile from Norris Lake, this property offers the extraordinary ability to hike directly to the lake from your backyard or enjoy a quick drive to its crystal-blue waters and scenic shoreline. From sunrise to stargaze, the setting is truly breathtaking. The expansive 288-square-foot deck is the perfect place to take in sweeping panoramic mountain and valley views, enjoy peaceful mornings with coffee, or unwind under dark, star-filled skies. Step beyond your back door into 110+ acres of pristine, protected nature preserve, featuring miles of private trails, massive stone outcroppings, spring-fed creeks, and abundant wildlife — a setting that can never be replicated. This property is ideal for those seeking a self-sustaining or homestead lifestyle. The mature, highly productive organic garden provides seasonal abundance with asparagus, figs, blueberries, peaches, apples, cherries, and herbs returning year after year — enough to share with family and friends. Inside, the home is warm, efficient, and thoughtfully designed to connect with its surroundings. A Jøtul Scandinavian wood stove serves as a cozy centerpiece, providing reliable winter warmth, with backup propane heat for added convenience. Solar panels supply ample electricity, keeping utility costs low, while the abundance of windows fills the home with natural light and fresh mountain breezes. The layout includes two bedrooms and one full bath, perfectly sized for a primary residence, weekend retreat, or nature-focused getaway. Additional features include a carport with extra storage, high-speed internet currently available, and fiber internet coming soon, allowing you to stay connected while enjoying total privacy and tranquility. Located just 45 minutes from Knoxville, this property offers the rare balance of peaceful seclusion with easy access to city amenities. If you've been searching for a truly special property — one that offers privacy, views, protected land, sustainability, and lake proximity. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own your own slice of East Tennessee heaven.
