Rustic retreat tucked away in the mountains of beautiful East Tennessee. Circa 1930 house situated on 5.44 heavily wooded acres offering total seclusion. Although this rustic cottage seems as though you are away from everything, Highway 19E is just a short distance away, making this home convenient to area amenities. The home is situated high up among the trees and out of sight from surrounding homes with the acreage encasing the home with a dense forest, assuring total continued privacy. Follow the long-paved driveway up to the home which features a wraparound porch giving one the feeling of being in a tree house. The home is wood constructed and in need of restoration with a heavily wooded mountain setting that is simply idyllic for mountain lovers. Bring your rocking chairs to enjoy the wrap around porch, the privacy, the cool mountain breezes and the natural beauty offered by this quaint home in a lushly wooded setting. In summertime, the dense foliage encases the home in absolute privacy. In winter, with the foliage gone, views of the surrounding mountains abound. This private little mountain cottage is ideal for use as either a permanent or seasonal home. Another potential use is as an Airbnb investment property with Roan Mountain State Park and the recreational opportunities at Watauga Lake both located just a short drive away. In addition, the ski slopes of Western North Carolina and the Bristol International Motor Speedway are each located within an hours drive from this mountain home. This home will sell for an affordable price at auction. Those looking for a mountain cottage with acreage and absolute wooded privacy should not miss this auction. P.A.L # 4465
Private Remarks: Agents, 1% referral fee paid on the final sales price.
