Connect to the outdoors and relax in this beautiful mountain home. Located in Saddle Ridge, a gated subdivision of over 1200 acres, divided into 234 lots (per HOA Winter 2018 newsletter), each 5+ acres. There are 70+ residences, with the majority occupied year round. Residents live surrounded by forested natural beauty: on ridge tops with spectacular views of Chilhowee mountain and the Smokies; in shady ''hollers'' bursting with color from seasonal wildflowers and fall foliage, and along peacefully flowing creeks. Saddle Ridge features large parcel homesites with over 20 miles of private gravel roads in the foothills of East Tennessee, just off East Miller's Cove Road in Walland, approximately 12 miles southeast of Maryville, 14 miles to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance at Townsend, and 28 miles southeast of Knoxville. The newest section of the Foothills Parkway, which opened November 10, 2018, is nearby and provides some of the most spectacular scenery and views of the Smokies anywhere! This exceptional property features a private mountain setting with plenty of outdoor entertainment area including a covered porch running the length of the house, a huge open rear deck that also runs the length of the house, a splendid oversized 28'x28' two (2)-car garage featuring a tongue and groove wood ceiling. There are 3 large bedrooms on the upper level including the master with ensuite bath plus another full bathroom at the landing. There is a 3rd full bath on the main level near the laundry and side entry (perfect for returning from those hunting, fishing, or hiking trips). The main level features a large open concept with the living room, dining area, kitchen island eat-in area, and the kitchen, plus rear deck and front porch access. There is a wood burning stove in the living area for that warm cabin ambiance on chilly Fall or cold Winter days. On the main level there is also a sitting/library room, and a study/office.
