A rare opportunity to own a true log home with a creek, barn, privacy, and over 10.5 unrestricted acres--all in a convenient East Tennessee location. Built by a local log-home builder, this authentic hand-hewn D-log home combines distinctive craftsmanship with beautiful countryside views and the possibilities of your own mini-farm. Enjoy peaceful country living just a short drive from Athens and I-75, with access to Cleveland, Chattanooga, and Knoxville. A winding, tree-lined drive welcomes you home. Inside, the impressive great room showcases soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a dramatic wall of windows that fills the space with natural light and frames the surrounding scenery. A gas fireplace creates a warm gathering place, while the open layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The recently updated kitchen features beautiful granite countertops, abundant wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a built-in oven and microwave, and a generous island with seating. Whether preparing an everyday meal or hosting friends, this inviting space keeps everyone connected. The spacious owner's suite offers a vaulted wood ceiling and room for a sitting area. Its just-completed bathroom features a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed tile shower, and double-sink vanity. With nice walk-in closet. An additional bedroom, dedicated laundry room, and expansive loft provide comfortable, flexible living spaces. Another room with a closet is currently used as a third bedroom; the septic system is permitted for two bedrooms, but could possibly be expanded. The basement adds even more versatility with a finished area ideal for a den, game room, or home theater--a separate space for movie nights, entertaining, or relaxing. An additional washer and dryer hookup provides a second laundry option. The huge basement 2car plus garage and workshop area features high ceilings, overhead-door access, and a bathroom, offering exceptional room for projects, equipment, hobbies, and storage. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a huge covered back porch offering generous space for entertaining, outdoor dining, and a grilling setup. Multiple porches provide plenty of places for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and relaxing evenings overlooking the countryside. Explore the mix of open and wooded acreage, enjoy the creek and abundant wildlife, and harvest from several varieties of fruit-bearing trees and plants. Partial fencing and a barn offer a starting point for your mini-farm, with possibilities for horses or cattle with additional fencing and improvements. The barn provides storage and potential livestock space. A separate full-log tiny-home-style structure with a wraparound porch could be finished into additional living quarters or explored as an Airbnb, or rental. Multiple potential building sites offer further possibilities for additional homes or a family compound. Authentic log-home character, recent updates, barn, creek, generous living and workshop spaces, and unrestricted land make this an exceptional opportunity to create the country lifestyle you've envisioned without giving up convenience.
