About 605 County Road 48

Private Country Estate on 25.33 Acres Discover a rare blend of luxury and tranquility on this beautifully renovated 3,530-square-foot estate, set behind mature trees for ultimate privacy, with a heated indoor pool for year-round enjoyment. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, offering move-in-ready sophistication paired with serene, park-like grounds. Chef's Kitchen & Living Spaces The gourmet kitchen features a full suite of new KitchenAid appliances, granite countertops, and an oversized sland -- great for entertaining. The adjoining family room offers custom built-in shelving with granite accents and a gas fireplace, while French doors open to a sun-drenched, all-season sunroom overlooking the indoor pool. First-Floor Primary Suite The main-floor primary bedroom is a true retreat, with handscraped engineered blonde wood floors, crystal chandelier lighting, and French doors opening directly to the pool and sunroom. The spa-inspired en-suite bath includes a newly tiled rainfall shower, freestanding soaker tub, LED-lit niches, and a walk-in closet. A second first-floor bedroom offers flexible use as an office or guest room. Thoughtful Details Throughout A spacious first-floor laundry and mudroom provides abundant storage and counter space, complete with an 8-foot built-in coat rack and seating just off the kitchen. New handscraped hardwood flooring spans the entire ground floor, while the original pine staircase has been refinished with custom railings leading upstairs. Second Floor Two generously sized bedrooms with double closets (one with two sets) share a beautifully updated full bath, plus a versatile loft-style family room perfect for entertainment or a home office. Fresh paint, crown molding, and baseboards complete the space. Systems & Structure Additional upgrades include new foam insulation and a double moisture barrier in the crawlspace, a whole-house water filtration and softener system, a new roof custom shutters, and a window trellis -- offering exceptional peace of mind for years to come. The heated basement offers excellent potential as a workshop or additional living space. Outdoor Living Step onto the new deck with black cable railing for unobstructed views of your private 1.5-acre pond, complete with its own island, surrounding woodlands, and a large gazebo. Two storage sheds and a charming mini log cabin add character and function to the grounds -- perfect for guests or weekend getaways. Unwind on either the front or back covered porches, and take advantage of the oversized 24x24 garage with new doors and openers, great for larger vehicles, a boat, or ATVs. Location & Lifestyle Enjoy the best of both worlds -- peaceful, unrestricted rural living just minutes from Athens, Calhoun, Charleston, and Cleveland, with Chattanooga, Knoxville, and the Great Smoky Mountains (Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Cherokee) all a short drive away. Located near the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers for boating and fishing, with private regional and commercial airports nearby -- great for the daily traveler or weekend aviator. With no restrictions and multiple potential sites for a barn, arena, or fencing, this property is perfectly suited for a horse or hobby farm -- a rare opportunity to own your own slice of Tennessee paradise.
