4,400 Square feet Nestled amidst the sprawling beauty of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau a serene and picturesque homestead awaits! This 4,400 square-foot ranch-style, home is spread over two levels, offering a seamless blend of comfort, wilderness, and opportunity; reminiscent of a feature from Field & Stream magazine. Upstairs, the entrance hall takes you to expansive formal living and dining areas, highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace with a grand brick façade and a wall of built-in cherry bookcases. You'll notice Anderson windows framing every room, ensuring that nature's ever-changing canvas is always in view. And when the nights grow colder, or the power wanes, the reliable woodstove heater stands as a sentinel of warmth in the breakfast room which overlooks the pond and easterly sunrises. (Also, a back-up wood furnace is in the mechanical room of the basement below.) The ''U-shaped'' kitchen features a large island also made of custom solid cherry cabinets. There are three generously-sized bedrooms and 2.5 baths beckon with the promise of homely warmth and rest. The oversized two-bay garage offers space for more than just parked vehicles. Descend to the lower level and you are greeted by a full-fledged secondary kitchen, an inviting bedroom, a generous full bath, and a large brick fireplace to add a warm and rustic ambiance. Here, traditions hold strong, exemplified by a canning room ready for the season's bounties. Two bonus rooms open a world of possibilities, from recreation to artistry. This lower realm, with its private entrance, can double as an in-law suite or potential rental. The 12-acre plot that cradles this home is nothing short of breathtaking. Greet each morning with panoramic views of surrounding peaks and valleys. Lose yourself in the serene symphony of a spring-fed, fish-stocked 2-acre pond, and relish the privacy offered by non-disturbing adjacent neighbors; on one side, a tranquil tree farm, and on the other, a protective land trust. But there's more to this Dunlap gem than just the home. A detached workshop stands as a testament to a craftsman's dream. Large roll-up doors, an overhead mezzanine, an adjoining office, and even a fully functional paint booth it's a realm where visions take tangible forms. Solidly built and lovingly maintained since its inception, this custom sanctuary has been a testament to impeccable craftsmanship and a profound love for the land with mature, producing fruit trees. Now, this homestead eagerly awaits its next steward, someone ready to infuse their spirit, make it their own, and pen the next chapter for this storybook property. With a growing downtown Dunlap just a stone's throw away, the vibrant pulse of both Nashville & Knoxville only two hours distant, the allure of Chattanooga within 50 minutes, and the pristine beauty of Fall Creek Falls & Savage Gulf state parks close by. And for those who dream even bigger, an additional 12 acres of rolling pasture land stands available, inviting grand visions and boundless possibilities.
