5 Tennessee Retreats from Private Acreage to Lakeview Living

From its elevated setting on 49± acres of wooded beauty in Bulls Gap, this private East Tennessee retreat pairs rolling hills with sweeping mountain views and a landscape suited to both farm life and recreation. A barn, shed, pond, and pasture set the scene for days spent outdoors, whether that means working the land or enjoying hunting season year-round. Inside, the home offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a finished basement with both interior and exterior access—flexible space ready for whatever your routines require. Main-level laundry adds everyday ease, anchored by a spacious walk-in shower. Storage is equally considered, with a large attached garage just off the kitchen for boats and gear, plus an additional 2-car garage downstairs. Here, privacy and practicality meet in one expansive setting.

Set on 16 acres in Five Points, this custom home looks out over a rolling field and a pond, balancing open land with wooded stretches for a true country backdrop. Inside the four-bedroom layout follows a split floor plan with 3 1/2 baths, anchored by a great room where a fireplace opens to the kitchen—an easy hub for everyday living. A separate family room adds flexibility, while the formal dining room, sewing room, and cozy living room create space for both gathering and quiet routines. Outdoors, a barn and a second pond sit toward the back of the property. Just behind the main house, a fully equipped cabin offers separate living quarters with one bedroom, a full bath, a kitchen, and a large living and dining area—ideal for extended stays or a self-contained setup.

A dedicated dining room supports everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings, while four bedrooms and a huge bonus room give the layout flexibility for work, hobbies, or guests. Practical touches stand out, too: a walk-in pantry and lots of storage help the home live as well as it looks. Outside, the land is cross-fenced and ready for animals—horses, cows, and chickens included—creating a setting that feels both relaxed and purposefully prepared.
