Set on nearly 11 unrestricted acres, this property offers a rare combination of open pasture, wooded acreage, and access to East Tennessee's natural beauty. Located on a quiet peninsula near the Powell River and Norris Lake, widely regarded as Tennessee's cleanest lake, you're just minutes from the 24,000 acre Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area, perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and boating. And with Knoxville less than an hour away, you'll have access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and more. The home is cozy and well cared for, featuring a fireplace, a recently serviced HVAC system, and updates including a new well pump and pressure tank. A newer storage shed, RV awning, and 30 amp breaker box offer additional utility and flexibility for guests or future use. Approximately three acres are cleared, while the rest of the land is wooded and ideal for creating trails or enjoying privacy. The property backs up to TVA protected land, adding even more seclusion and natural buffers. Large neighboring parcels contribute to the peaceful setting and spacious feel. Seasonal beauty surrounds you here—flowering trees in spring, vibrant foliage in fall, fireflies in summer, and starlit skies year round. The mild four season climate offers something special every month. Local schools and amenities are available in nearby Maynardville, just a short drive away. Whether you're dreaming of gardening, hosting guests, or simply relaxing in nature, 501 Big Sinks Road offers a lifestyle that is simple, private, and full of possibility.
