534 Highland Acres

Mountain City, TN 37683

Some homes check a few boxes. This one checks all of them. Tucked near the end of a quiet dead-end street in the mountains of Johnson County, 534 Highland Acres Road offers an exceptionally well-maintained, move-in ready home where the big-ticket items have already been handled -- and the views from the back will stop you in your tracks. The panoramic mountain scenery visible from the back deck and patio is the kind that makes you rethink your priorities. Whether you're having your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, the backdrop is nothing short of remarkable. Three separate outdoor living areas -- a front porch, back porch, and back patio, each running the entire length of the house -- give you options for every mood and every season. Inside, the home is thoughtfully finished and practically appointed. Hardwood floors run throughout the upper level; tile covers the lower level -- both durable, both attractive, both easy to maintain. Two bedrooms, two bonus rooms, and a dedicated office provide genuine flexibility for remote work, guests, hobbies, or multi-generational living. A living/family room and full bath on each floor adds everyday convenience. Every bedroom and bonus room features new oak closet shelving -- a detail that signals the care that has gone into this home top to bottom. The lower level den features a set of remote-controlled blinds on the patio doors, adding a layer of comfort and convenience to everyday living. The infrastructure here is what separates this listing from comparable properties. A Generac whole-house generator with extended warranty and surge protector -- freshly serviced April 2026 -- means you stay online and comfortable when the mountain weather has other ideas. An owned 500-gallon underground propane tank eliminates rental fees and gives you long-term fuel security. High-speed fiber internet is available, a genuine rarity at this elevation that opens the door for remote professionals who don't want to sacrifice connectivity for scenery. The roof and HVAC were both replaced in 2023. The concrete driveway was newly poured that same year. The fireplace chimney has been professionally cleaned, closed, and capped, with propane logs now in place for instant, remote-controlled ambiance without the maintenance. Automatic lighting in the pantry and multiple closets is a small touch that reveals a larger pattern of thoughtful ownership throughout. Outside, the sellers invested in a repaired retaining wall, significant drainage improvements, and hardscaping designed to minimize yard work and maximize enjoyment of the property -- a practical upgrade that pays dividends every week. A 1-car garage, oversized 2-car carport, and organized utility room with built-in tool storage round out a property that is genuinely ready for its next chapter. A preventative termite contract is already in place for peace of mind. Eight exterior security cameras with a 1 TB hard drive keep the property well-monitored -- and double as a front-row seat to the wildlife activity that makes mountain living so special. The cameras and lights both operate through apps, which allow you to monitor the property and control all exterior lights remotely. Arrive home after dark and turn every outside light on before you pull in the driveway -- the house is bright and welcoming before you ever open the door. Or, use the special lighting controls to set the scene for movie night, entertaining, or a quiet night enjoying the scenery. Privacy, views, infrastructure, connectivity, and mountain living -- rarely does one address deliver all five. Sellers are offering $5000 towards buyer's closing expenses with acceptable offer to make this home even more accessible to buyers. Information taken from seller and CRS.
