Welcome to your private Appalachian retreat—45 acres of peace, privacy, and possibility. Tucked behind a long gated drive and surrounded by mature timber, this log-sided home blends rustic charm with modern comfort in a setting that feels worlds away, yet sits just minutes from Abingdon, Bristol, and public access to the North Fork Holston River. With ample space and fertile land, this property also offers exciting potential for a mini-farm, allowing you to cultivate gardens, raise livestock, and enjoy a sustainable lifestyle. Built in 2012 with craftsmanship and character in mind, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a vaulted living room, and warm knotty pine floors throughout. Tongue-and-groove ceilings rise above cozy spaces accented by interior half-log siding and a handcrafted log staircase made by a local artisan. A finished basement offers the perfect spot to unwind by the wood-burning stove. Step outside and you're immersed in nature: watch goldfish swim in the backyard pond, gather around the firepit, or explore trails that wind through your own woods—ideal for hunting, hiking, or ATV riding. The land is perfect for a mini-farm, with fenced areas great for pets or small farm animals, and the flat yard offers plenty of room for gardening or planting fruit trees. Across the road, public river access invites kayaking, tubing, fishing, or just a peaceful walk. You're only 15 miles from historic Abingdon, 19 miles from the Bristol Casino, and 7.6 miles from the Mendota Trail—a 12.5-mile scenic rail trail. Plans by a local architect for a 1,200+ sq ft addition are already complete, making expansion seamless should you need more room. Whether you're looking to escape, expand, or simply enjoy the mini-farm lifestyle, this home offers a rare opportunity to live close to nature without giving up the comforts of home.
