292 Burkhart Rd , Rutledge, TN 37861(Grainger County)

Welcome to the Pelafigue Farm! Tucked behind a gated entrance and a long, winding asphalt driveway, this nearly 40 acre, unrestricted property in the peaceful countryside of Grainger County offers the kind of privacy and freedom that's getting harder to find and still be located within 45 minutes to the conveniences of downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. From the moment you arrive, the outside world fades away, replaced by open skies, rolling East Tennessee terrain, and a landscape designed for both enjoyment and self-sufficiency. The land itself is the true centerpiece. A large portion of the acreage surrounding the home is cleared and ready for whatever vision you have-whether that's gardening, recreation, livestock, or future expansion. At the heart of the property sits a beautiful half-acre stocked pond, complete with aerators and home to stocked bluegill, bream, and largemouth bass. Two small docks, a small boat with an electric motor, and even two outdoor goldfish aquariums invite slow mornings and peaceful evenings by the water. This pond is duel supplied by both a well and a natural spring, so it never runs dry. Scattered across the land are thoughtful additions that support a true country lifestyle. A fenced area for livestock includes a chicken coop, while a well-established family orchard provides seasonal harvests with an apple tree, four muscadine vines, fig tree, three blueberry bushes, persimmon tree, peach tree, plum tree, and three generational cranberry cotoneaster bushes-French fruiting shrubs known for their tart red berries. Climb to the ridge above the home and pond, and you'll find some of the most compelling features of the property: elevated building sites with sweeping sunset mountain views. These areas would be ideal for an additional home, cabin, or retreat space, all while overlooking the existing homesite and water below. The land is also abundant with wildlife, including whitetail deer and wild turkey, making it a dream setting for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The main residence is a spacious barndominium designed for comfortable living within this natural setting. It features a main-level master bedroom with a walk-in, cedar-lined closet, along with a living room, kitchen and dining area, and an upstairs loft spare room. Outdoor living is easy to enjoy with a deck covered by a pergola, while practical features include a carport and a heavy-duty retaining wall and drainage system that runs from the left side of the driveway through the carport. Adding even more flexibility is a separate 512-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath bunk or guest house-perfect for visitors, extended family, or private workspace-along with a spacious storage building for equipment, tools, or recreational gear. This property offers a rare blend of privacy, usable land, natural beauty, and thoughtful improvements, all wrapped into a setting where you can truly live off the land for generations to come. Located only 4 miles away from boat access to the spectacular Cherokee lake for even more water based fun.
