Property Details for ID: 1355182

Public Remarks: Rarely does a property of this scale offer such a compelling combination of land, views, privacy, and existing improvements. Set across approximately 87 acres along Mecca Pike, this exceptional East Tennessee property encompasses approximately 1,300 feet of road frontage, a peaceful pond, open pasture, wooded acreage, and elevated vantage points overlooking the surrounding mountains. The property borders the Cherokee National Forest and Starr Mountain, placing hundreds of additional acres of riding, hiking, and outdoor recreation immediately beyond its boundaries. The highest elevations capture expansive panoramic views, while multiple natural building sites offer extraordinary potential for a private estate, family compound, equestrian property, or future residential development. Limited restrictions allow subdivision into five-acre or larger residential tracts, adding an uncommon level of flexibility to an already remarkable land holding. Importantly, the property is not simply an acreage opportunity. It is an established property with substantial improvements already in place, including a beautifully restored historic barn and a newly constructed 2-bedroom home and detached 3-car garage. The property's historic barn is impressive and distinctive. Originally constructed more than 75 years ago, it has been meticulously rebuilt while retaining its original character, incorporating heavy timber construction, new framing, concrete footers, and a new roof. Inside are professional-grade horse stalls, tack and feed rooms, a dedicated wash station, and extensive supporting infrastructure including electrified pastures, drainage improvements, and strategically placed lighting. The approximately 1,600-square-foot home has been renovated with an emphasis on quality, comfort, and longevity. Tongue-and-groove ceilings, granite countertops, custom tiled showers, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a generous kitchen island create a refined interior, while more than 700 square feet of additional heated, cooled, and garage space provides room for equipment, hobbies, recreation, or workshop use. Infrastructure and mechanical improvements include spray foam insulation, six energy-efficient mini-splits, an 18kW propane generator, tankless water heater, central vacuum, Starlink internet, reverse osmosis water filtration, and a wide electric gated entrance. A detached 30' x 40' three-car garage provides an exceptional complement to the home, with oversized doors for full-size trucks and equipment, WiFi-enabled openers, battery backup, and substantial workspace. The result is a property that feels established without feeling overbuilt--where extraordinary acreage, mountain views, equestrian infrastructure, and thoughtfully executed improvements exist as one cohesive estate. For those seeking a significant East Tennessee land holding with immediate utility and long-term potential, opportunities of this caliber are exceptionally rare.
