Sweetwater is a cherished location with a quintessential downtown and a small community within a 35-minute drive to Knoxville - and 1 hour to Chattanooga. This quaint town is where you'll find antique shopping, restaurants, open country setting and so much more. This property is tucked away only 10 minutes to the town but FEELS LIKE ITS IN A WORLD OF ITS OWN! This begins with a quarter mile long driveway, lined with peaceful fields and grazing cattle, and ends at the perfect blend of access and seclusion at 196 Southside Road. Sitting atop of the hill and overlooking your 5 acre Homestead, you'll find a remodeled three bedroom, two bathroom main home, totaling nearly 2,000 sq ft -- each area thoughtfully designed with an abundance of natural light and farmhouse finishes: to include a Magnolia Farms inspired kitchen, vaulted ceilings, a primary suite with a soaking tub and separate shower, new flooring throughout, CENTRAL cooling and heat, and warm inviting spaces that make this house a veritable ''peace'' of paradise. Walking out of the backdoor of your home, you'll find a quaint courtyard with beautiful brick work and $28,000 in Japanese Maple Trees (truly, these Sellers spared NO expense during their ownership), a waterfall, and a 200 sq ft building with a front porch, complete with electricity and a mini-spilt unit! It is being used as a schoolroom, but it's ready for you and your dreams -- perhaps an outdoor kitchen, completing the Southern lifestyle dream! Adjacent to the main home, there's a MASSIVE BRICK garage ready for a car lift or RV parking, and a roof that allows for a second story to be built on it -- complete with floor joists and a complete cover of Henry's Tropi-Cool! Also on this property, you'll find a 800 sq ft second home (with its own mini-split system); an additional homesite with a 3 bedroom septic; and 3 RV Hookups! Whether you
