Scott County

Scott County, Tennessee, is a rural county located in the northeastern part of the state, near the Kentucky border. Known for its stunning natural landscapes and strong Appalachian heritage, Scott County is home to the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a vast park that attracts outdoor enthusiasts with opportunities for hiking, rock climbing, fishing, camping, and horseback riding. The county seat is Huntsville, and other notable towns include Oneida and Winfield.

The area has a rich history and is known for its resilient, close-knit communities. In the Civil War era, Scott County was largely Unionist, and in 1986, it symbolically declared itself the “Free and Independent State of Scott” in response to Tennessee’s secession from the Union, although it later rejoined. Today, Scott County embraces its heritage, and community events often reflect local culture, traditions, and Appalachian music.

Economically, Scott County has traditionally relied on industries like coal mining and logging, though in recent years, there has been a focus on tourism and attracting small businesses. The county’s residents often have a deep connection to the land, and the area’s culture emphasizes independence, family, and self-sufficiency.

1527 Terry Rd Oneida, Tennessee

5 Beds 8 Baths 11,392 SqFt 80.93 Acres

Some homes are built on land, this one was built from it! The story of this property begins before the front door. It begins across almost 85 acres of level and rolling ground, where cleared trails thread through the land for hiking, ATV riding and motorbike exploring, and where the property borders Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. Bear, bobcat, deer and turkey move through this landscape, while town remains only 10 minutes away.The house does not simply sit on the land. In many ways, it was made from it. The approach is marked by stone sourced from the local area, each piece hand-picked and cut by the stone mason for the sidewalks, entrance, steps, porch caps and rockwork surrounding the home. Inside, the custom stacked-stone fireplace is crowned by a hand-hewn mantel made from a tree taken directly from the homesite. Nearby, the high bar was milled, sawed and finished by the builders from wood harvested on the property.The deeper the house unfolds, the more its history reveals itself through the materials. Custom kitchen cabinetry, bath vanities, mudroom cabinetry and the primary bedroom media cabinet were built by a local artist from 200-year-old reclaimed wood. Two-hundred-year-old heart pine runs through the great room, primary bedroom and second-floor steps. First and second-floor walls are clad in 100-year-old reclaimed barnwood. Custom knotty alder doors, handmade stair and porch railings, flagstone floors and custom rock showers continue the craftsmanship from room to room. In the mudroom, a tree trunk becomes the pedestal for a mosaic sink. At the fireplace, hand-forged doors created by a local artist turn a functional detail into another piece of the home's story.That same attention carries into the barn. Six stalls sit beneath local custom beams, surrounded by stacked and laid stonework and finished with hand-forged door locks and stall partitions. A tack room and a separate relaxing room with a bathroom expand the barn beyond its traditional purpose.What gives this property its character is not any single feature. It is the way the acreage, the materials and the workmanship belong to one another. Trails lead through 85 acres. Stone from the area becomes the path home. Trees from the property become a mantel and a bar. Reclaimed wood carrying generations of history becomes the walls, floors and cabinetry of the house. This is a property that reveals itself slowly, one trail, one stone and one hand-built detail at a time. A private showing is the only way to experience the full scale of the land and the craftsmanship woven through it. $2,250,000 Active
