ABOUT
Property Information
Welcome to 3068 Hwy 226 — a truly one-of-a-kind mountain retreat set on over 16 unrestricted acres, where timeless architecture, privacy, and functionality come together. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and designed as a passive solar home, this property offers a unique floor plan filled with character and warmth— the kind of home that naturally becomes the gathering place for holidays, dinner parties, weekend guests, and unforgettable evenings with friends and family.
Originally built in 1980 with thoughtful additions completed in 2006, the home features three bedrooms and four bathrooms along with flexible living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The beautifully renovated 2025 kitchen showcases quartz countertops and updated finishes that blend seamlessly with the home’s architectural style.
Outside, the property feels like a private mountain sanctuary while remaining conveniently located right off Hwy 226. Two separate driveways provide easy access and added flexibility. The detached workshop offers excellent space for hobbies, storage, or creative projects, while the two-car garage includes living space above — ideal for guests, a private studio, multigenerational living, or passive income potential.
The grounds are equally impressive, featuring gorgeous peonies, roses, Japanese maples, established gardening space, and peaceful natural surroundings. Spa hookups are already in place for a future hot tub addition.
Enjoy the rare combination of privacy, acreage, and convenience with easy access to the Appalachian Trail and Johnson City, making this property an exceptional full-time residence, mountain getaway, or investment opportunity.
