Welcome to a truly rare and breathtaking Tennessee getaway—5 acres of scenic heaven where untouched beauty, total privacy, and peaceful living come together in perfect harmony. This extraordinary property offers a level, gated road leading to a beautifully positioned 2-bedroom, 2–full-bath log cabin, tucked deep into a quiet valley and backed against a gentle hillside. Here, the sounds of traffic, crowds, and city life simply disappear, replaced by flowing water, birdsong, and the quiet rhythm of nature.
Adding even more value and long-term potential, approximately 580 additional acres directly adjoining this property may be purchased in whole or in part, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for expanded privacy, conservation, or legacy ownership.
From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is something special. A spring-fed creek runs alongside the home and flows directly through a pond, creating a constant, soothing soundtrack of moving water. The entire property sits cradled within a valley, bordered by the creek and surrounded by rolling hills, resulting in unmatched seclusion and serenity. You’ll hear Wood Thrush birds singing, wild turkeys calling in the distance, and often spot deer and native wildlife moving quietly through the landscape.
Despite the abundance of water, the setting is remarkably comfortable—no mosquitoes, thanks to the constant flow of fresh spring water. The pond grows natural watercress, adding to the property’s untouched, almost storybook character. Hummingbirds are frequent visitors, making this a dream location for photographers, nature lovers, and anyone who appreciates the finer details of the natural world.
The log cabin itself was originally built in 2000 and was fully refurbished in 2023, carefully restored to its original charm while incorporating essential modern upgrades. The cabin is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully updated, offering the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort.
Recent upgrades include:
-
New 1,000-gallon septic tank
-
New 40-gallon propane tank
-
Two mini-split HVAC units providing efficient heating and air conditioning
-
New refrigerator and stove
-
New ceiling fans
-
Custom windows
-
New rear door
-
A brand-new wood-burning stove (valued at $6,000), ready for cozy nights
Utilities are fully underground, preserving the natural beauty and uninterrupted views throughout the property.
The cabin is being sold fully furnished, making it completely move-in ready or ideal for immediate use as a vacation rental or very unique VRBO. Furnishings include cabin-style furniture, a leather sofa and chairs, high-top kitchen table, bedding, stackable washer and dryer, new TV, DVD player, extra-power WiFi router, and more—everything needed to enjoy the property from day one.
Connectivity and security are already in place, with AT&T U-verse WiFi and a security system that both convey with the property. There is also a 500-gallon propane tank available for connection, with approximately 175 gallons of propane remaining, offering added convenience and value.
The layout is ideal for comfort and privacy, featuring a step-in shower upstairs and a tub/shower combination in the lower-level bedroom. Step outside onto the wooden front porch, where you can rock peacefully while looking out over the spring-fed pond, stacks of firewood cut directly from the property ready for cool evenings by the fire.
This setting is what people imagine when they dream of untouched Tennessee beauty—quiet, wild, and deeply peaceful. Yet, despite its seclusion, the property is conveniently located just 10 miles from Tellico Plains, home to some of the best trout fishing in the United States, and within easy reach of Etowah, Englewood, and Athens, Tennessee.
Whether you’re seeking a full-time retreat, a second home, a rental investment, or a place to unplug and reconnect with nature, this property delivers on every level. With flowing water, abundant wildlife, complete privacy, modern comforts, and the potential to expand with adjoining acreage, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.
Note: Cowhorns over the front door and the framed antique Western Story magazine cover do not convey.
This is not just a cabin—it’s a sanctuary. A place to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience Tennessee the way it once was.
