Low-maintenance living meets immediate income potential on 15 private, wooded acres near the Hiwassee River. The property includes an energy-efficient brick-and-stone main residence and a separate, income-producing short-term rental featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Built in 2023, the rental provides an excellent opportunity for supplemental income while also offering comfortable accommodations for extended family or guests. Thoughtfully designed for efficiency and peace of mind, the main home features durable brick-and-stone construction, remarkably low utility costs, a fully encapsulated crawl space, a Generac generator, a UV water-treatment system and a water softener. Expansive windows frame peaceful evergreen views, while white oak hardwood floors flow throughout the open-concept interior. The light-filled living room connects seamlessly to the kitchen and dining areas, creating an inviting space for entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and a gas range. The private primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with an attached greenhouse, large soaking tub and custom-tiled shower. The separate short-term rental includes quartz countertops, Starlink internet and a fully insulated RV garage with hookups below--an appealing setup for vacationers drawn to the nearby Hiwassee River's tubing, fly-fishing and recreational opportunities. Outside, unwind on the secluded back porch, gather around the fire pit or simply enjoy the quiet of your own forested sanctuary. A large pump house, supported by a water supply producing approximately 25 gallons per minute, offers additional potential for conversion into living space. The gravel driveway has also been recently refreshed. Private yet positioned near one of the region's favorite outdoor destinations, this exceptional property combines low-maintenance, energy-efficient living with natural beauty, flexibility and established short-term rental income.
