982 County Road 229, Niota, Tennessee, 37826

Some homes have a story, and this one has more than a century's worth. Welcome to 982 County Road 229 in Niota--a charming 1900 farmhouse situated on 4.4 unrestricted acres with mature trees, creek frontage, and room to enjoy a slower pace of life. According to the owner's account of its history, the home was built by Lee Collins, whose family operated a gristmill near Sewee Creek at the back of the property, giving Collins Mill Road its name. Offering approximately 2,640 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, this home combines farmhouse character with practical updates. A welcoming foyer leads to a formal living room and separate dining room, spaces that have hosted generations of gatherings and holiday meals. The kitchen was remodeled within the past five years, and vinyl windows were replaced approximately two years ago. One bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. The large front porch, complete with a swing, invites you to sit and stay awhile, while the screened side porch offers another spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Outside, the level corner property provides space for gardening, outdoor hobbies, or simply enjoying the shade of the mature trees and the creek along the back. A detached two-car garage offers additional storage and workshop potential. With no HOA, no restrictions, and annual property taxes currently listed at approximately $435, this property offers room to make your country-living plans a reality. Located approximately 8 minutes from I-75 and 10-15 minutes from Watts Bar Lake, you can enjoy a rural setting with convenient access to travel, shopping, and recreation. Full of history, character, and memories, this farmhouse is ready for its next chapter.
