A Rare Standard of Country Luxury - Immaculate 4 +/- Acre Timber-Backed Estate

Property Description

Set against a stunning backdrop of mature timber just south of Knoxville, this custom-built 4 +/- acre estate offers a level of craftsmanship, cleanliness, and care that is increasingly difficult to find. Tucked just a quarter mile off Highway 14, the property feels private and peaceful, yet remains conveniently close to town. From the moment you enter the drive, new fencing and meticulously maintained grounds set the tone for what awaits - a home and property preserved to an exceptional standard.

The level of cleanliness and maintenance throughout - including mechanical areas, trim work, exterior concrete, and finished spaces - reflects true pride of ownership rarely seen in rural properties.

The main residence offers four bedrooms and three and a half baths, including three conforming bedrooms and one non-conforming, providing flexibility for guests, office space, or additional living needs. Soaring vaulted ceilings create architectural scale while maintaining warmth through natural wood finishes. White and red oak flooring flows throughout the main living spaces, complemented by hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel finishes in the kitchen.

The living room centers around a dramatic wood-burning fireplace enhanced with pristine stonework, while a secondary gas fireplace provides convenience and efficiency. The master suite continues the theme of refinement with marble countertops, new fixtures, and pure cedar ceilings in the master bath - a space designed for both tranquility and function. Oak banisters, cedar shelving, solid oak and steel switch panels, sliding barn doors, surround sound, central vacuum, geothermal, updated lighting, and a reverse osmosis water system further reinforce the home’s superior quality.

The three-season screened porch with Eagle windows extends the living space and captures picturesque views of landscaped grounds transitioning into prairie and timber. Outdoor spaces flow seamlessly from screened porch to premium composite decking and concrete to a beautifully designed firepit area, creating a cohesive and private entertaining environment. The timber backdrop provides natural privacy, visual depth, and a park-like setting that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Beyond aesthetics, the property demonstrates exceptional structural and mechanical care. The roof, siding, flooring, fencing, lighting, and concrete surfaces have all been updated or enhanced. A lifetime-certified TSR concrete coating ensures long-term durability without chipping, peeling, or discoloration. Three laterals have been pumped, the water pump updated, and the propane tank is owned. Professionally finished concrete surfaces throughout the property are in outstanding condition.

On the north side of the property stands a fully insulated 30'x40' workshop paired with a beautifully finished and fully self-contained 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest home (ADU). The shop has been recently upgraded with premium fine wood plank interior finish throughout the entire space, creating a clean, finished, high-end workspace rarely found in rural outbuildings. Radiant in-floor heat, double insulation, mini-split system, bonus air conditioning, steel ceilings, truck-height doors, and updated pump systems allow for year-round usability and comfort. The guest home has operated successfully in the past as a short-term rental and, along with the property’s flexibility, contributes to an estimated $30,000 in annual income potential.

Mature apple, peach, cherry, tulip, and birch trees, along with blueberry bushes and newly planted hostas, enhance the setting. A cedar plank porch, outdoor lighting, garden shed, chicken barn, and woodshed further support a refined yet functional country lifestyle.

Properties maintained to this standard - combining craftsmanship, structural integrity, income flexibility, and natural privacy - are exceptionally rare in today’s market. Shown by appointment only. Proof of pre-approval is required prior to scheduling. Call Land Agent Kyle Steinfeldt today!
