Discover a hidden gem rich in history and natural beauty at 5501 W Martin Mill Pike. Nestled on 2 private wooded acres, this rustic modern home offers a peaceful retreat just a few minutes from downtown Knoxville and McGhee Tyson Airport.
Once part of the original homestead of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Cormac McCarthy, one of his works ''No Country for Old Men'' was adapted into the movie. This property carries a rare literary legacy and timeless Appalachian charm. Inside, you'll find warm wood finishes, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and large picture windows that fill the home with natural light and serene wooded views.

Ideal for those seeking a homestead, mini-farm, or private artist's retreat, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless potential to restore, reimagine, or simply enjoy its peaceful beauty.
