488 Cad Campbell Road is set on 20.8 unrestricted acres. This property offers a rare mix of natural beauty and usability-featuring open meadows, pasture areas, and untouched woods, all tucked into a scenic mountain valley with only one neighboring property in sight. Accessed by a well-maintained gravel road, the setting feels private and peaceful, yet far from isolated. For those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this property delivers. With mountain spring water servicing the home-and even a gravity-fed spigot in the event of a power outage-off-grid capability could become a reality with a few more adjustments. The fully renovated kitchen features new cabinetry, appliances, and lighting. A separate laundry room includes a new washer and dryer. The home is heated with a wood stove and propane wall heater. There are two mini splits on site that just need to be installed. Additional updates include double-pane windows and new flooring throughout. The main level offers two bedrooms and a refinished bathroom.Upstairs, a flexible third space provides the perfect opportunity for an additional living area, office, or studio-framed by windows that capture both front and back views of the property. The property also features excellent foraging, abundant wildlife, a small cellar for storage, a cinderblock outbuilding, and a large barn with previous electric and water access-ready to be brought back to life with a little vision. A beautiful stream divides the property from the neighboring owner that you have access to as well! All of this, just under 4 minutes to Dollar General, approximately 30 minutes to Burnsville or Spruce Pine, and 35 minutes to Johnson City-offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Offered as-is, this property is move-in ready for comfortable living today, while still leaving room for you to make it entirely your own. No Drivebys! Showings by appointment only!
