Property details

About 487 Fish Hatchery Rd

Welcome to a property where craftsmanship, story, and seclusion meet. Set on 11.23 rolling acres, this custom-built 2,250 sq ft cabin offers rare quality, modern comfort, and timeless East Tennessee character. Whether you're searching for a private homestead, short-term rental opportunity, or a retreat with expansion potential, this one checks every box. Constructed with commercial-grade standards, the home features hurricane bracing techniques, double-stud framing, and precision engineering. All-wood interiors, no drywall, and cedar milled from the land itself set this home apart, while hardwood flooring from a local farm and fresh carpet upstairs make it move-in ready. Inside, the living room impresses with vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace, while the open kitchen and bathrooms are full of rustic personality. Notable finishes include a Jack Daniels barrel sink, custom dual vanity, and a rain-head walk-in shower. Throughout the home, thoughtful touches like rocks from the Grand Canyon add story and sentiment. The main HVAC system and upstairs mini-split offer year-round comfort. R-19 insulation and soundproofing ensure peace and efficiency. Step outside to a 248-foot wraparound porch with lighting at all four entrances—perfect for soaking in the privacy and panoramic countryside views. The land offers multiple flat build sites tucked behind the home—ideal for a family compound, additional cabins, or future homestead development. An additional structure on-site—once a residence, now a workshop—includes power, water, a full kitchen, and bath, offering incredible potential. High-speed internet through Spectrum is available just next door. Quiet and scenic this property is a rare blend of usable acreage, intentional design, and lasting quality.
