Step inside for the rustic luxury of a Montana lodge, featuring an expansive open floor plan and a custom-built chef's kitchen built for gathering and entertainment. The fireplace invites you to sit and unwind at the end of the day. The main suite off to the right is spacious and features a private covered porch leading out to the fenced yard. On the other side of the great room, there is a full bath with a second entrance from the laundry/pantry room for easy access from the outdoors. The oversized garage has room for all your toys. Upstairs, you will find another full bath, two more bedrooms, & an office/sitting area overlooking the great room. But your favorite spot will be the front porch featuring sweeping mountain vistas where the clouds paint a brand-new masterpiece across the sky every single day. To the east is a 30 x 55, two-story (unfinished) workshop or extra 'toy' garage with a rolling garage door and sliding glass doors facing the view. There's even a covered deck to have a rest. The loft upstairs features expansive windows and is also ready for your custom design. Below the house is the turnkey working ranch. Over 100 acres are fenced and cross-fenced into rotational pastures, supported by 5 dedicated watering stations. Another private area on the ranch sits a pristine, stocked 2-acre pond, complete with a custom luxury glamping tent and viewing deck. Endless recreation awaits in your private backyard, with a 5-acre fenced-in dog park. and another 120+ acres of gently lying backwoods trails perfect for ATVs, hunting, or hiking. The RV parking area has water and a septic system. And don't forget the Helipad! This isn't just a property; This is your ultimate private retreat! A timber frame home is a highly durable and energy-efficient house constructed using a structural skeleton of massive, vertical wood posts and horizontal beams. The heavy timbers interlock using precision-cut joints secured with wooden pegs (rather than metal nails), creating an open floor plan that requires no load-bearing interior walls. The Timbers: The heavy wood framework carries the entire weight of the house, transferring it directly to the foundation. This allows for soaring ceilings, large open spaces, and expansive window walls.The Joinery: Traditional timber framing relies on "mortise-and-tenon" joinery, in which the tongue of one timber fits tightly into a hole in another. In a classic timber frame, these joints are locked together with wooden pegs, making the structure incredibly strong and long-lasting. The Walls (SIPs): Unlike traditional stud framing, where the walls hold the house up, the walls of a timber frame are essentially just a shell. This home wraps the wooden skeleton in Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)--large panels of foam insulation sandwiched between two boards--which makes the home exceptionally energy-efficient. Interior & Exterior: Because the massive wooden frame is on the inside of the insulation, the beautiful, intricate woodwork and vaulted trusses remain fully exposed to the interior. Timber vs. Log Homes: While they both feature natural wood, a log home uses stacked horizontal logs to form the walls and the structure simultaneously. A timber frame home uses a specific, standalone wooden skeleton with space in between for custom, adaptable wall finishes.

Some Cherokee Lake dreams need more than a single homesite, and this is where three neighboring lots on Five Oaks Circle come together to give you exactly that kind of room. Lots 37, 38, and 39 combine for 2.38 wooded acres inside Walnut Bend, a gated community in Hawkins County, with seasonal Cherokee Lake and mountain views weaving through the trees from multiple points across the property. This isn't a single narrow homesite. It's a canvas big enough for a primary home, a guest cabin, a workshop, or simply the kind of buffer between you and the next house that makes a place feel like your own retreat. Each of the three lots has already been through the groundwork that makes building easier down the road. Lot 37 perked for a 2-bedroom septic system, and Lots 38 and 39 each perked for 3-bedroom systems, all at the time of the subdivision's development, giving you flexibility to plan across the combined acreage. Fiber internet and underground electric are available at the road, and Walnut Bend keeps the neighborhood site-built only with a 1,400 square foot minimum, so whatever you build here sits among real homes, not rentals or manufactured housing. Lake access comes through Walnut Bend's shared community boat ramp and dock, so you get the lake lifestyle without the cost of maintaining your own dock. The gated entrance and $550 annual HOA per lot keep the roads and common areas well maintained. At 2.38 total acres for $69,900, this is a rare chance to secure a meaningful footprint inside a gated Cherokee Lake community, whether your plan is one home with serious privacy around it or multiple structures for family and guests.

It's the kind of setting where the trees do most of the talking until you decide what to build. What sets Lot 39 apart is the room to plan ahead. The lot was perked for a 3-bedroom septic system at the time of the subdivision's development, enough capacity for a full-time home, a guest suite for visiting family, or space to grow into down the road. Fiber internet and underground electric are already run to the road, so the groundwork is done before you break ground. Access to Cherokee Lake comes through Walnut Bend's shared community boat ramp and dock, keeping ongoing costs lower while still putting the water within easy reach.
