Here, on our Mountain, we have peace and quiet, lots of wildlife, and a certain amount of isolation and privacy. However, we are geographically located between Dayton and Pikeville, which means quick and easy access to both towns, in only minutes, down good highways. There are so many attractions within a short drive, such as forests, State Parks, wilderness preserves, vacation attractions, natural wonders, and much more, and most of them are free admission. We are located on the historic "Trail of Tears" and this land was a Native American healing encampment during the forced relocation of the Cherokee.
This land was occupied by the same family, since before good, detailed records were kept. The previous resident, Glen Chapel, lived on the land for 94 years! We were fortunate to acquire it from his gracious family, after his passing. One curious note: Mr. Chapel died in 2017, exactly on the date of my birthday! If that isn't fate, what would you call it?
