262 Mountain View Drive

Down a long, tree-lined drive, the road slips away and the woods take over. This two-bed, two-bath home sits on 1.60 acres with true privacy--out of sight from the street--yet it's just off Hwy 11W and roughly twelve miles from Cherokee Dam for quick lake runs at sunset. Step from the gravel to a sixty-foot sidewalk that leads you to the front door; the hush of the trees and the sound of birds make the pace slow down before you even get inside.
The layout lives easier than most homes this size because the kitchen was moved to the main living area--right where people gather. You get a gas oven for real cooking, a dishwasher and garbage disposal already in place, and a proper butler's pantry to tuck away appliances, bulk groceries, and baking gear. Counters stay clear, conversation stays close, and weeknight dinners don't feel like work.

A second bathroom was created to add flexibility, finished with a tiled walk-in shower that looks sharp and feels solid. Two comfortable bedrooms and two full baths mean guests have their own space and early mornings don't require a schedule. Climate control is efficient and quiet thanks to two Mitsubishi mini-splits that handle heat and cool without hot-and-cold spots.

The behind-the-scenes upgrades are the kind you don't notice until you need them--which is the point. There's new PEX plumbing, new electrical in the kitchen and bathrooms, new septic lines, and new gutters with leaf guards to keep maintenance in check. Outside, the lawn has been re-graded so storms send water the right direction instead of toward the house. It's simple, practical work that pays off every season.

Out back, a 10x12 storage shed with its own dedicated electric panel opens up options: tool storage, a hobby bench, an extra freezer, even a small studio space. The acreage gives you room for raised beds, a fire ring under the trees, and a pair of chairs where the crickets take over at dusk. It's the ''cabin in the woods'' feeling--without giving up convenience or blowing the budget.

If you've been waiting for privacy, character, and updates you can trust at a price that still makes sense in East Tennessee, this one is worth a walk-through. Set up your showing and come hear how quiet it gets out here.
