Establish Your Estate: Classic manor nestled on 20 acres in the foothills of East Tennessee. Details you would expect--gated entrance, underground utilities, security system, gas fireplaces--coupled with luxuries you will enjoy--extensive acreage, babbling creek, peaceful sunsets, even a dog bath. An easy 40-minute drive to downtown Knoxville, the ''city life'' is still within reach to hold Vols season tickets, commute to the office, or dine with friends. The tour begins at the gated path leading you beside a pond and historic mill house and next to Sweetwater Creek, a Tennessee River tributary. Tree-lined drive with impressive columns and covered porches create a dramatic entrance to this colonial-style estate. Inside, revel in the vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, and oversized windows with custom shutters offering a peaceful backdrop. Open main floor plan allows for ease of entertaining whether preparing meals, hosting holiday gatherings, or unwinding by the stacked stone gas fireplace. Through four sets of french doors is the impressive covered back deck...ideal for extending the opportunities to host guests, watch college football, or make smores at the gas firepit, while others play catch by the creek. Main level primary suite boasts an ensuite spa bathroom with separate vanities, soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower and an impressive custom closet. Dining room, guest suite, and home office are also found on the main level. Upstairs consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, walk-out attic storage, and bonus room for a playroom, home theater, or music studio. Unfinished daylight basement with 3000+ square feet extends the footprint of the home for added storage and the opportunity to customize for your unique needs. Man's best friend is comfortable here too with the 10x10' outdoor dog run connected to their own room plus a ''doggie bath'' in the mud room. Laundry room provides the perfect drop-zone for boots, backpacks, and sports equipment, and store toys and off-road vehicles in the oversized 3 car garage.

Enjoy hosting barbecues, picnics, setting up a game of kickball or badminton, or exploring the property's flora and fauna (you won't have to wait long to see deer who also call this property "home").
