Luxurious 3,001 sq ft retreat built in 2023, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths on 1.35 acres in a peaceful rural subdivision just outside downtown Sweetwater. This custom home is currently being used as a vacation rental – and guests love the exquisite handcrafted woodworking, antique accents, and gorgeous natural woods—cedar, pecan, hickory, and black walnut—all hand-selected by the builder from his years in the logging industry. Hardwood floors throughout with exposed beams, a dramatic hickory spiral staircase leading to the guest suite, and a sunken living room with vaulted ceilings and a powerful wood-burning stove for cozy evenings. The kitchen is equipped with a gas range, wine cooler, and custom cabinetry. Formal dining room opens to a spacious deck through French doors, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. Bathrooms are spa-inspired, offering deep soaker tubs and walk-in showers. The huge family room is ideal as a media room, additional living space, or could easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Enjoy year-round comfort with split systems in the family room, master suite, and guest suite. The master suite features its own fireplace, while both suites offer balcony access. Downstairs you have a 3rd smaller bedroom which could make a great office. Outside, a bridge over a koi pond leads to a covered porch and peaceful water feature, while a large deck and fire pit provide great spaces to relax or entertain. Both the home and detached 2-car garage feature durable metal roofs. Located just minutes from Sweetwater's historic downtown, antique shops, and the famous Lost Sea, with Knoxville, Chattanooga, and the Smoky Mountains all within an easy day trip. This exceptional property offers a rare blend of artisan craftsmanship, modern luxury, and tranquil country living. This unique retreat is available fully furnished – ask for details.
