1150 Square Ft Unfinished Basement, With a 1300 Square FT Detached Metal Building. As both the owner and listing agent, I bought this home a little over two years ago with the intent to resale. But I quickly realized this was no ordinary property — it was a private, peaceful escape you don't come across often. This property is tucked away at the end of the road, surrounded by woods, and offering a peace and privacy that's hard to come by these days. The property features a massive two-story Metal Building with two oversized doors — one originally built for semi-truck repair. The home itself is a classic basement rancher with a two-bay garage in the basement, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a galley kitchen. You'll find beautiful hardwood floors in the living room and kitchen, updated doors and windows, and plenty of potential to make it your own. The layout is a little unconventional, but it's functional, clean, and sleek. If you're looking for a luxury showplace, this probably isn't it — but if you value comfort, privacy, and land with character, you'll feel right at home here. Like many rural Southern areas, you'll see a few trailers on the way in, but as the road winds back, it turns into pure bliss. The neighborhood is made up of good people — the kind who race each other to mow their lawns and wave when you pass by. There's one rough property nearby, but the rest are well-kept, family homes. Now, let's talk about the land — because it's truly something special. I added a 300 sq. ft. covered observation deck off the back of the barn, and the wildlife will absolutely blow your mind. Deer visit daily, along with the occasional wild pig, raccoons, and more bird species than I've seen anywhere else. The ecosystem here is vibrant and alive — huge pines, oaks, cedars, wildflowers, and the kind of quiet you can feel in your soul. Some nights, as I sit in prayer, it feels like God Himself is breathing a little bit of Eden back into the world right here. The property is surrounded by water, with the French Broad River less than a mile away on either side. The public boat dock is only two miles down the road. You're also in a prime location: 20 minutes from Sevierville, 15 minutes to Jefferson and Hamblen counties, and just 45 minutes to downtown Knoxville. North Carolina, Virginia, and the I-40/I-81 split are all within easy reach. Newport is surrounded by mountains, and the natural beauty here is something you have to experience to truly understand. I'm not overselling this — it's the land between the lakes, a rare and beautiful place. Selling it won't be easy for me. I've fallen in love with the quiet, the stars, and the simple, honest living this place offers. Get with your agent and put this one on your list. It's worth the trip. I am just a little ahead of schedule selling the home, wanted to get it out there, will need some time to relocate after closing, can do a lease back, open to extended lease. need at least 30 days.
