Custom-Built Log Home on 6.87 Acres in the southeastern Tennessee mountains.
Welcome to your private mountain retreat in beautiful Reliance, Tennessee! Nestled on 6.87 wooded acres, this stunning two-story, basement ranch log home is a true labor of love, custom-built and cherished by the original owners for the past 23 years. Designed with care and filled with unique, personal touches throughout, this home must be seen to be fully appreciated.
With two spacious primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs with a balcony—this home offers flexible living arrangements ideal for multi-generational living, a family retreat, or a potential Airbnb investment. The second-floor features two private balconies, perfect for sipping coffee while taking in the breathtaking mountain views. Cozy up with a good book in the upstairs living area, complete with built-in bookshelves.
The well-appointed kitchen is both functional and inviting, offering ample counter space, a large pantry, and an adjacent laundry area. The pantry serves as a convenient entry point, level with the driveway—ideal for unloading groceries. An upright freezer is included in addition to the very large, all refrigerator in the kitchen. Just a step away is a large back deck, ideal for outdoor gatherings and enjoying the serene surroundings.
Downstairs, the walk-out basement includes a bedroom, full bath, living area, and a versatile room previously used for floral crafting—perfect for a workshop, home office, or creative space. A spacious workshop with outdoor access offers even more functionality.
Outside, enjoy abundant wildlife, mature landscaping, and lush gardens with producing blueberry bushes, hostas, and hydrangeas that bloom beautifully each year. A partially constructed second driveway is in place, ready for your finishing touches, and there's plenty of room to add a garage, if desired. The sellers recently added gravel to the driveway and had the driveway groomed.
With no deed restrictions, you're free to have animals, start a garden, or blaze your own hiking trails through the woods. Reliable Wi-Fi makes this a fantastic option for remote work. Located near the Hiawassee and Ocoee Rivers, enjoy easy access to whitewater rafting, tubing, fishing, and nearby national forests.
This property offers the rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and flexible living in a truly unbeatable setting. Don't miss your chance to own this slice of East Tennessee paradise.
