Perched high atop the mountain in the gated community of The Ridges of Franklin Forest, 1085 Thunder Ridge Drive offers the kind of privacy and natural beauty that's hard to find. This sought-after community is known for its scenic overlooks, hiking trails, and mountain waterfalls--giving residents a true escape while still being just minutes from town. Many of the community's trails are also horse-friendly, and The Ridges borders the 8,800-acre Franklin State Forest, offering even more hiking, biking, and horseback riding just outside your door. The 1,740 sq ft home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed for comfortable living. A gas fireplace brings warmth on cool mountain evenings, while two AC units and a full-house generator ensure comfort and peace of mind through every season. Out front, unwind under two automated 11' awnings extending 8'--perfect for enjoying the mountain air rain or shine. Set on 13 acres of wooded privacy and open pasture, the property offers space and flexibility for whatever you envision--a hobby farm, a garden, extra storage, or simply room to roam. A 2-stall barn with tack room (24'x24') and a separate covered barn (16'x40') provide excellent storage or workshop space, while 3 pastures give you room to expand as needs change. A 3-car carport rounds out the practical features. More than just a home, this is a lifestyle--waking up to mountain views and living within a community built around privacy, nature, and space to breathe.
