Have you ever wondered why so many people are choosing East Tennessee as their new home? It seems every week brings another story of someone drawn by the region’s scenic beauty, affordable living, and welcoming communities. No state income tax. Not as cold as New York. Not as hot as Florida. No coastal hurricanes. No big snakes or alligators. Low property taxes. Low insurance costs. Less crime in this part of Tennessee. We don’t experience the severe tornadoes found elsewhere in the country. Close to the Great Smoky Mountains. Easily accessible from 20 states within an 8-hour drive, making visits convenient for friends and family. The list goes on. And this modern log home perfectly captures the Tennessee vibe with its setting.

In August, the residence was professionally appraised at $1,500,000. It is currently listed at $100,000 below that appraised value. Hearthstone Homes, an award-winning builder of heavy timber homes since 1971, built this residence. Though it is listed at 5,489 square feet, it offers 6,859 square feet under roof-excluding the garage, carport, and covered porches. The 2-car garage and separate 3-car customized carport provide shelter for 5 vehicles. Located on 5 acres of farmland, this private home offers stunning Great Smoky Mountains views and convenient access to local amenities. Dollywood is within 21 miles. The University of Tennessee and Knoxville’s attractions are within 28 miles. Three large bedrooms plus extra basement sleeping space. 5 full bathrooms. The main bedroom includes an office/study, and the bathroom features a vintage bathtub and a custom walk-in shower. There are two wood-burning fireplaces: the main one features stacked stone, while the basement fireplace uses bricks and a mantle sourced from the family homestead. Part of the backyard is fenced for pets and kids. No city property taxes, only county. No HOA and short-term rentals are OK. Geothermal heating and cooling system. Geothermal systems offer significant advantages, including high energy efficiency, cost savings, environmental benefits, and long-term reliability. These systems typically operate at efficiency ratings between 300% and 500%. In other words, they can generate three to five times more energy than they use, which can result in lower energy costs compared to traditional HVAC systems. Stable underground temperatures allow these systems to cut energy use and lower utility bills by up to 70%. Geothermal heat pumps typically last over 20 years, and this one is just 4 years old. Additionally geothermal systems can provide hot water, further enhancing savings. Plus, the cooled air is naturally dehumidified, improving indoor air quality. Standing Seam Metal Roof. A key advantage of Standing Seam roofing is that its fasteners are hidden, protecting them from UV, moisture, wind, and other elements that cause wear. Panels without holes give your structure a cleaner, sleeker, and more modern appearance. Inground pool with custom 2022 liner. A complete set of kitchen appliances is available on both the main level and in the basement, offering versatility for use as an in-law suite. Main features an Elmira Stove, known since 1975 for its quality vintage designs blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Red-oak hardwood floors cover the main areas; tile is used in bathrooms and the sunroom. Stamped concrete appears in the laundry, guest bath, breezeway, and porches, with stained concrete for the basement. Tongue & groove pine ceilings. Much of the home’s wood came from trees on the family’s 1850s farm, including custom walnut cabinets in the kitchen and master bath, cedar porch posts and trim, and cedar vanities in the upstairs bathroom. The cabinet and bathroom doors located in the basement originate from the family’s original homestead.

Relocating? Want to live the Tennessee lifestyle? Then this one-of-a-kind property is for you.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AT CHEROKEE LAKE! LAKEVIEW AND DOCKABLE!

Yard was being landscaped as these photos were taken. Concrete driveway just poured. Range hood vent and a few touch ups are still being done. But the home is move in ready today!

It will be extremely difficult for you to find a lakeview home that is for sale with better panoramic views of Cherokee Lake. So many windows, so many views. From the rear covered porches, you can see six Tennessee counties. Cocke, Grainger, Jefferson, Hamblen, Hawkins, and Sevier! Unobstructed views of Cherokee Lake and the surrounding mountains for miles and miles! The inlets, coves, and islands that dot Cherokee Lake create a scene that viewed from this home is priceless. Photos do not do this property justice; you must see it for yourself.

No HOA. High-speed fiber internet is available. The site has underground electricity so there are no ugly power lines to interfere with the views. The way the lot lays there is not a home that can be built in front of you to block the amazing views. This is so critical. Over the years we have met families that bought their dream property, and as lots were sold off, their dream property, with their dream view, was no more. This will not be the case with this one. Dream view today. Dream view tomorrow!

Farmhouse home style design built with a solid poured concrete wall foundation, no block construction as is typical in this area. When building a house on a block foundation, it is only a matter of time before the mortar joints crack. This is why you see so many commercials on television to repair foundation issues. This home is solidly built; it isn’t going anywhere!

An abundance of windows throughout the entire house, 9-foot ceilings with recessed can lights, a featured 10-foot oak barrel ceiling over the foyer. Upgraded granite countertops with thick 4-inch overhangs. Cabinets with soft close drawers. A separate laundry room and a large pantry. Custom tiled zero-entry shower. Two large, covered porches with Rainbow Poplar ceilings, recessed lighting, Trex-style flooring, vinyl deck rails, and as previously mentioned, the fabulous views of Cherokee Lake and the surrounding mountains.

AND GET THIS… German Creek Marina is across the road. The marina can be viewed from home. The seller will include two years of pre-paid docking privileges at the Marina. Your own boat slip. No need to share it with other subdivision owners. Your boat can be in the water year-round!

There have been some adjustments to the floor plan displayed in the photos. The garage has been made deeper. The square footage has increased to 1900 sq ft on the main level with the size of the basement increased as well. The basement has nine-foot walls and an abundance of windows with its own entry door. The basement is being offered unfinished at this price, but has already been plumbed for an extra bathroom, for ease of finishing it now or down the road. The builder can finish it partially or completely for an additional cost. Please do not contact for quotes on this as these areas can be finished in so many different ways which obviously will affect pricing. There is also a room that can be used as either a safe room, vault, or wine cellar. Add all this square footage up and you are looking at approximately 4,000 square feet of living space. Plus, the covered rear decks. Plus, the deeper garage. A lot of house. This home not only adds up to quality construction but practicality throughout!

Move to the Cherokee Lake area. Four full, mild seasons. Within an 8-hour drive of 20 states, making it easy for your family to visit and you visit them. Located in Grainger County, with its low property taxes, scenic farmland, but close to all necessary amenities. Close to the town of Morristown. Restaurants, malls, theaters, hospitals, schools, and retail shops are all nearby. Golf courses are close by. Looking for paradise? It doesn’t get much better than this. Live the Cherokee Lake Life!
