This home features an open living area with high ceilings and views from every window. There are two good sized bedrooms with ample closet space, laundry area with full-sized W/D, and a full bath.

Far from the madding crowd but close to the spectacular recreational and cultural assets the region is known for, this is southern living at its best. Enjoy boating on South Holston Lake, hike the Appalachian Trail, spend a day at the races at Bristol Motor Speedway or take in a show in historic downtown Bristol. The Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Estate and Great Smoky Mountain National Park are just a couple of hours away. Or just stay home, throw a line in the river and watch the parade of seasons go by.
Whether you're looking for the perfect summer retreat, or just want a few more fishing cabins for those long weekends with friends at the lake, this 5-acre property provides plenty of opportunities for additional construction. An idea for expansion..build from the LV RM / Kitchen out over the driveway to add a - 20' X 30' Great Rm w/ fireplace. and Dining area. - That would create more space to expand and upgrade the kitchen. The existing Lv Rm would become an Entry Hall / Library. - The Great RM could actually drop three steps down from the existing first floor to create 12 foot ceilings and large windows that would capture fantastic mountain views. - On the second floor you could extend the Master BDRM above the Great Rm and have an outdoor terrace for even better views.
