Nestled among pines and cedars, the Iris is in a rural setting, yet only five minutes from I-40. It sits on 5 acres in a quaint hollow at the base of Hightop Mountain, the second highest point in Knox County. You may hear roosters crowing at a nearby farm and see horses in the pasture across the road. Wild turkeys and deer frequently wander through.
Conveniently located between Knoxville, TN and the Smokies with easy access to all the things you need. Spend your day in GSMNP, have dinner in Knoxville, then return to your secluded country retreat to wind down by the fire.
