Straight out of a classic Southern movie, this beautifully refreshed farmhouse is filled with character, history, and possibilities. Situated on three parcels totaling approximately 8.64 acres and currently zoned C-2, the property offers an inviting setting for a memorable bed-and-breakfast, wedding venue, private retreat, mini farm, or one-of-a-kind forever home. The drive to the home includes a scenic route along the river, creating a peaceful arrival and offering occasional opportunities to see local wildlife. McCleary Bend Road is a dead-end road, helping keep traffic low and adding to the property's peaceful, private setting. The gently rolling acreage provides a beautiful natural setting while maintaining usable space for animals, recreation, gardening, or simply enjoying a quieter way of life. Inside, the home features five bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom on the main level. Beautiful hardwood floors and five original fireplace features throughout the home add to its timeless farmhouse character. Four of the original fireplaces are capped and non-operational, while one has been converted to a functional ventless propane gas fireplace, preserving the historic character while adding warmth and ambiance. The open kitchen offers granite countertops and a large center island with a cooktop, creating a natural gathering place for cooking and entertaining. The home also features updated electrical, two HVAC units from the previous owner, and recent 2026 updates that include a new roof, fresh interior paint, updated bathrooms and vanities, exterior soft wash, new light fixtures, and refreshed landscaping. A screened-in back porch provides a comfortable space for relaxing, dining, and enjoying the surrounding landscape. The covered pole barn offers flexible space for animals, equipment, recreational vehicles, or additional storage. Utility water is available at the corner of the first lot. With approximately 2,570 square feet, five bedrooms, three separate parcels, and a setting that feels like a scene from a Southern film, this special East Tennessee farmhouse is ready for its next chapter. The seller will also entertain selling the house with only its individual 3.53-acre lot, offering an additional purchase option for buyers who do not need the full acreage.
