First time on the market in 35 years, this mountainside hideaway on the side of Walden's Ridge is only minutes from downtown Chattanooga and the town of Signal Mountain! The three bedroom, two bathroom house sits on 5.5 acres of mature hardwood forest in unincorporated Hamilton County, close to shopping and medical care, with no HOA and no city taxes. Nature lovers will enjoy abundant wildlife, summer shade, brilliant autumn color, and winter views of Big Frog Mountain and the Cherokee National Forest to the east. The house features a new septic system and porch decking (2025), public water, a newer HVAC system, as well as Hardie siding and Andersen windows. The large vaulted back porch and adjacent deck overlook the back yard and are perfect for entertaining. Inside, a cathedral ceiling overlooks a large open concept living area with solid white oak floors and a panoramic view of the forest below. A Danish wood burning stove will keep you cozy as you enjoy the spectacular fall and winter views. A remodeled kitchen was designed for a cook, with granite countertops, a powered island, and solid wood Shaker cabinetry. The second floor primary bedroom features a cathedral wood ceiling, an auxiliary mini-split HVAC unit, private bath, dual sink vanity, a large walk-in closet, and an adjacent sitting room/office. On the first floor, two bedrooms and a full bath offer plenty of convenience for guests or extra living/working space. The half basement has indoor and outdoor access, power, and plumbing access for an additional half bath, if desired. Hobbyists and tinkerers will love the huge 28'x36' carport and garage, powered with 110 and ready for 220. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the 1/2 mile private hiking trail that winds around the property, a showcase for Cumberland rock formations, abundant spring wildflowers, and a seasonal stream. Hikers, climbers, and mountain bikers will love the close proximity of Hamilton County's 200-acre Walden's Ridge Park. Signal Mountain's McCoy Farm and Gardens and vast trail systems (including the Cumberland Trail) are only minutes away.

Friends of Mountain Creek, located between Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee River, is a residential and outdoorsy Chattanooga neighborhood with wooded creek corridors and trail-linked green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mountain Creek Road corridor near the trailheads, where cyclists, hikers, and dog-walkers set the pace. Housing leans toward hillside homes and newer subdivisions set back from the road, with porches and decks oriented to the trees. The Mountain Creek Greenway frames daily routines with shaded walks and creekside views. Reflection Riding Arboretum & Nature Center and the Tennessee Riverpark add a nature-first cultural layer. A short drive connects to St. Elmo’s local storefronts and cafes for a change of scene.
