8776 Mine Rd

This 21+ acre parcel has a lot to offer: A gorgeous Lindal custom cedar home situated in total privacy. A large pole building workshop, formerly Mary Dewey’s pottery studio, with power, water, and septic. Only 10 minutes to Athens and situated on a private road. Imagine the privacy of a secluded vacation home, but you get to live there year round. The huge wall of windows could be your everyday view. The 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home has poplar ceilings and floors, an open floor plan and many artistic touches. Nearby a historically significant structure: once the Canaan Coal Company payroll offices, then Big Chimney Bakery. The Canaan Coal Company set up a small coal mine nearby in the early part of the 1900s; the mining families worked and lived there in what is considered one of the region’s Little Cities of Black Diamonds. The mining structures remain on the site, though in heavy disrepair. Consider the possibilities: add cabins here and operate a vacation rental business. Re-imagine the mine office building for your own passion projects. Put the pole building back to work as a studio or, build it out into a dwelling. All three buildings have aeration septic systems in place.
