About this home

With over seven acres of private woodland, including a mountain brook, ridgeline, flower/vegetable garden, and onside hiking trails, you will feel like you are in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, yet you're within fifteen minutes of the Knoxville Airport, Hospitals, grocery stores, shops, and twenty-five minutes to the University of Tennessee. This quiet hollow is a nature lover's paradise, featuring a gently flowing stream, a diverse collection of native trees, and an abundance of native plants that provide year-round beauty. Lovingly managed to keep invasive species to a minimum, this special landscape offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the area. As you explore the hollow and wander up the surrounding hillsides, you'll discover an impressive variety of native trees, including Yellow Buckeye, Eastern Hemlock, Tulip Poplar, Cucumber Magnolia, American Holly, American Beech, Eastern Hophornbeam, White Oak, Shagbark Hickory, Persimmon, and many more. From the first spring ephemerals to the last goldenrods of autumn, the hollow offers something beautiful in every season. In early spring, thousands of blooming trilliums and woodland phlox blanket the forest floor, creating an awe-inspiring display that few residences can match. Bird enthusiasts will delight in the remarkable diversity of species that call this hollow home. Watch and listen for Eastern Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings, Great Horned Owls, Barred Owls, Yellow-billed Cuckoos, Chuck-will's-widows, American Goldfinches, numerous species of warblers, Wild Turkeys, and many other resident and migratory birds. In the quiet hours of the morning, deer and other wildlife make their way to the stream to drink. Completing the existing pond would create an even richer aquatic habitat, attracting additional wildlife and providing years of enjoyment for nature lovers, bird watchers, and future generations alike. This is more than just a beautiful property--it's a thriving native ecosystem, carefully stewarded and ready to be appreciated by anyone who values wildlife, biodiversity, and the peaceful beauty of nature.
