2242 Divide Rd

A fixer-upper mountain home on 6.1 private acres just minutes from Mountain City, Tennessee, listed at $189,000. Built in 1999, the manufactured home offers 2,300 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a detached workshop, and real privacy on a wooded hillside — sold as a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home.

The land and setting

The 6.1-acre lot is tucked away on a hillside, surrounded by mature trees that the listing says have grown in enough over the years to obscure what was once an open mountain view, with the opportunity for a new owner to selectively clear and reclaim it. Water, power, septic, and driveway access are already in place.

The property sits within easy reach of Watauga Lake, Doe Mountain Recreation Area, the Appalachian Trail, and nearby Boone, North Carolina, and Abingdon, Virginia.

The home

The home is 2,300 square feet, built in 1999, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a den with a brick fireplace and built-in bookshelves, and a screened-in porch off the back.

The listing is direct that the home has been occupied in recent years and needs updates, repairs, and general cleanup throughout, with some rooms already mid-renovation.

The workshop

A standout feature here is the detached workshop and garage, already set up with shelving, workbenches, and open bay space — genuinely useful for a mechanic, woodworker, contractor, or hobbyist, and one of the reasons the listing points to this property specifically.

What to know before you call

This is a renovation project, not a turnkey home — the listing itself leads with “bring your vision, your creativity, and your plans.” The fundamentals (water, power, septic, an existing homesite, and the workshop) are already in place, which the listing frames as a head start on the work ahead. At 133 days on market, there’s likely real room to negotiate.
