A Unique 146-Acre Private Estate & Custom Multi-Level Carriage House
Discover the ultimate blend of high-end utility, architectural charm, and tranquil country living in beautiful Thorn Hill. Set upon 146.93 pristine, private acres of rolling East Tennessee hills and abundant wildlife, this property features a custom-built, multi-level carriage-house style residence designed for maximum versatility, panoramic views, and separated living spaces.
THE RESIDENCE: Ingenious Multi-Level Design Masterfully built and expanded between 2022 and 2023, this barndominium-style residence offers a unique vertical layout that provides incredible privacy between floors--making it perfect for an income-generating short-term rental, a multi-generational homestead, or a luxury hunting lodge.
Main Level: Opens into an inviting living area complete with a convenient kitchenette and a half bath. This level also provides direct interior access to the integrated 30' x 24' garage and workshop space--ideal for projects, equipment, or vehicle storage.
Second Level: A private suite featuring a spacious bedroom, a full ensuite bathroom, and a dedicated laundry space for a stackable washer and dryer. Bonus: A cozy, carpeted under-stair storage space perfect for a hidden closet, extra organization, or a charming 'Harry Potter-esque' hideout.
Third Level (Self-Contained Apartment): Completed in 2022, the top floor is a light-filled living space designed to capture sweeping, elevated views of the entire property. It features a spacious primary bedroom, a separate and comfortable living room, a full bathroom accessible from the living area, and a large, fully equipped kitchen featuring a peninsula breakfast bar.
THE GROUNDS & INFRASTRUCTURE Beyond the main residence, the estate is fully equipped for homesteading, recreation, or a legacy family compound:
Outbuildings & Water: Two additional barns offer ample room for equipment, workshops, or livestock, complemented by a serene, picturesque pond.
Guest Ready: Near the pond's edge, a dedicated RV parking area comes fully equipped with water and electricity hookups--ideal for hosting friends and family.
Premium Utilities: A high-capacity private well features a brand-new constant-pressure pump (delivering a powerful 29 GPM), and the septic system was fully serviced within the last six months for ultimate peace of mind. Fiber-optic gigabit internet is directly connected to the house.
ENDLESS FUTURE POTENTIAL Because the vast acreage features multiple premium, scenic building sites, this property offers rare flexibility. You can live in the luxury carriage house permanently, utilize the separate floors for independent living or rental setups, or use the entire structure as a premier guest lodge and workshop while you build a grand primary estate on the ridge.
Don't miss this one-of-a-kind East Tennessee acreage offering endless possibilities!
