Land with Home for Sale in New Market, Tennessee

Have you wondered why so many folks are choosing East Tennessee as their new home? It seems every week another family relocates here because of the region's scenic beauty, and affordable living. No state income tax. Low property taxes. Low insurance costs. Not as cold as New York. Not as hot as Florida. No hurricanes or severe tornadoes like elsewhere in the country. Close to the Great Smoky Mountains. And within an 8-hour drive you can reach 20 states, making visits convenient for friends and family. This modern log home perfectly captures the Tennessee vibe with its setting. No HOA. And short-term rentals are OK. This property provides many options. As a private residence, or as a vacation rental. Last year, the property was appraised at $1,500,000 and is currently listed well below that appraised value. Hearthstone, an award-winning builder of heavy timber homes since 1971, built this residence. Though it is listed at 5,489 square feet, it offers 6,859 square feet under roof - excluding the garage, carport, and covered porches. The 2-car garage and separate 4-car customized carport provide shelter for 6 vehicles. Located on five acres, the residence offers stunning Great Smoky Mountains views and convenient access to amenities. Dollywood is within 21 miles. The University of Tennessee and Knoxville's attractions are within 28 miles. Three large bedrooms plus extra basement sleeping areas. 5 full bathrooms. The main bedroom includes a study, and the bathroom features a vintage bathtub and a custom walk-in shower. There are two wood-burning fireplaces. A section of the backyard is fenced for children and pets. The inground 18 x 36 swimming pool, 3-8 feet deep, is the highlight of the backyard. A brand-new liner was installed three years ago, and the accompanying glass filter provides superior filtration down to 5 microns, compared to sand's 30-40 microns resulting in exceptional water clarity. The residence has a Geothermal heating and cooling system offering high energy efficiency, cost savings, environmental benefits, and long-term reliability. These systems typically operate at efficiency ratings between 300% and 500%. In other words, they can generate three to five times more energy than they use, which results in lower energy costs. Stable underground temperatures allow these systems to cut energy use and lower utility bills by up to 70%. Geothermal heat pumps typically last well over 20 years, and this one is just 4 years old. Additionally geothermal systems can provide hot water, further enhancing savings. Plus, the cooled air is naturally dehumidified, improving indoor air quality and providing health benefits. Another unique feature is the Standing Seam Metal Roof. A key advantage of Standing Seam roofing is that its fasteners are hidden, protecting them from UV, moisture, wind, and other elements that cause wear. Panels without holes give your structure a cleaner, sleeker, and more modern appearance. A complete set of kitchen appliances is available both on the main level and in the basement, offering versatility for use as an in-law suite or for vacation rentals. The main kitchen features an Elmira Stove, known since 1975 for its quality vintage designs blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Red-oak hardwood floors cover the main areas; tiles are used in bathrooms and the sunroom. Stamped concrete in the laundry, guest bath, breezeway, and porches, with stained concrete for the basement. Finishing touches include tongue & groove pine ceilings, custom walnut cabinets in the kitchen and master bath. Cedar porch posts, trim, and vanities in the upstairs bathroom. This magnificent log home is also on a transferable yearly lot maintenance plan. There are many homes in this area selling for higher prices, with less square footage, less land, high HOA fees, and on treacherous terrain. Not this one. Relocating? Want to live the Tennessee lifestyle? Then this one-of-a-kind property is for you!
