422 Acres with 4 Homes in Rhea County, TN

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Sometimes, a property is more than just a commodity; it's more than just a home or piece of dirt with a for sale sign. Some places have had so much vision and intention put into them that it reflects its owners and the dream they had in creating the layout and construction of the property. The Rhea 422 is exactly that, and so much more.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">When the family first acquired this piece of Tennessee ground, it was nothing more than a dirt trail leading to the top of a hill. With several years of passion and hard work, it began to transition into what it is now. For decades, Kinzalow Place has been where whoever stepped foot on the property immediately felt at home, at peace, and like they were in a world all their own. From weddings to family reunions with over 80 people attending, to putting on the biggest fireworks display in Rhea County each year, to the firepit overlooking the valley, this property has meant so much to many since its creation. It also has historical significance, as two abandoned mines and coke ovens are onsite. This 422-acre property is truly a gem to this part of the state!</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">The main home offers 4,500 square feet with four bedrooms and three baths. This was the centerpiece for each gathering the family hosted over the years. This is also where they called home during the quiet times, and the atmosphere reflects that in every way. The gorgeous wood siding and stone countertops in the kitchen are a homemaker's dream; paired with the huge windows overlooking the grounds, it really is something out of the movies. The large wooden fireplace in one of the three living areas will no doubt be a gathering place for friends and family during the holidays. The primary suite on the second floor offers an unbelievable view overlooking the Tennessee Valley. The visibility of the Smoky Mountains is a sight to be seen! A fan-favorite area of the home is the porch. You will enjoy just looking and listening to the paradise the family has created. Porch with a view doesn't adequately describe it, but the photos speak for themselves.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">The guest cabin, located on the same ridge as the main home, is a masterpiece all on its own, built to look like the John Ross cabin in Georgia. Constructed of reclaimed wood from barns and old homes here in the community, it was created to preserve the memory and history of Old Tennessee while making it modern enough to be comfortable. The cabin features a full kitchen and bath, so guests can feel like they are in the early 1900s yet have everything needed for a great stay. Out back, the porch offers an incredible view of the Smoky Mountains, similar to the main home.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">The property has several other amenities, including a 50x100 saltwater pool and pool house. The ranger house above the woodworking shop could provide an income opportunity in a rental home or short-term rental or could be used to house your property manager. Two large garages can house your equipment, tractors, and vehicles. This is a turn-key setup, ready for your vision! Additionally, a small log cabin was once used as an art studio. Still, it can easily house guests with its mini kitchen, full bath, and bedroom. At the bottom of the ridge, just off Highway 30 is another small home that can be used for income potential, visitors or staff.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">As spectacular as the structures are on this property, the grounds are even more so. Almost every plant, stream, and pond around the homestead was placed with intention. A family member said they had been coming here for nearly 30 years, and on each visit, they saw something that had never caught their eyes before. Species of plants that were beautiful to the family soon found a home here. From a bamboo forest to kiwi and raspberry to a grove of PawPaw Trees and Corpse Flowers, the list could go on. Spring and summer on the property are like something out of a national park, with colorful flowers and more! The entire home is fully irrigated by a spring located on the property.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">This is a large tract of land, spanning over 420 acres, and joins Laurel Snow State Natural Area, the Cumberland Trail, and Pocket Wilderness on the eastern boundary line. Approximately 400 acres are timbered, and there have not been any signs of timber harvests within the last few decades. A healthy population of whitetail deer, wild turkey and other game call the inside of these woods home. The deer and turkey frequent the backyard year-round, so they feel like part of the family.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">To fully describe the Rhea 422 is just not possible; this is a one-of-a-kind place that can only be experienced with an in-person visit.
