Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a private mountain homestead retreat in the heart of East Tennessee. Tucked behind a gated entrance at the end of a county-maintained dead-end road, this unique 3.3-acre property offers mountain views, a year-round stream, established food-producing gardens, and multiple living and work spaces designed for self-sufficient living, creative pursuits, multi-generational living, or income-producing opportunities.
The custom-built main residence features durable ICF concrete construction, cathedral ceilings, an open-concept living area, loft, flexible-use rooms, propane heat, on-demand hot water, and a whole-house Generac backup generator. High-speed internet is available, making remote work a seamless option while enjoying the peace and privacy of mountain living.
In addition to the main home, the property includes a separate one-bedroom cabin with its own driveway, septic system, propane heat, wood stove, and on-demand hot water--ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income.
Additional improvements include an art studio with basement, bunkhouse, off-grid kitchen with wood-fired cook stove, outdoor bath with hot and cold water, two greenhouses, chicken coop, storage buildings, and extensive homestead infrastructure already in place.
The land is thoughtfully developed with fruit trees, berries, asparagus, rhubarb, herbs, perennial plantings, and a year-round stream that enhances both the beauty and functionality of the property.
Whether you're seeking a private family compound, homestead, mountain retreat, artist's haven, or a property with income potential, 150 Rice Road offers a combination of features rarely found in a single East Tennessee property.
No HOA. High-speed internet available. Shown by appointment only.
