301 Joe Barnett Rd

A wraparound-porch log cabin on 5.02 unrestricted acres on the Cumberland Plateau near Jamestown, Tennessee, listed at $259,000. Built in 2001, the 928-square-foot cabin sits well back from the road for privacy, with hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, and a freestanding gas log fireplace anchoring the main living area.

The agent

This listing is handled by Tim & Lori Denehy of Mitchell Real Estate & Auction Co., known locally as Team Denehy. They work Fentress County and the broader Upper Cumberland Plateau full time, from Jamestown and Allardt to the cabins and acreage bordering Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, and carry a 5.0 rating across 30 Google reviews from past clients. A meaningful share of their business is out-of-state buyers relocating to Tennessee, and they’re set up for it: virtual tours, straight answers about utilities and communities, and availability seven days a week.

“We were buying from out of state and they made the process so stress free. Tim and Lori went above and beyond our expectations in finding us a property that we truly love,” one recent out-of-state buyer wrote in a five-star review.

The land and setting

The lot is 5.02 acres, private and unrestricted, with no subdivision covenants and no HOA, according to the listing. A gravel drive winds through mature trees to the cabin, which is tucked back from Joe Barnett Rd for seclusion.

A green metal storage building sits on the property in a wooded clearing, useful space the Zillow description doesn’t mention but worth factoring into the property’s overall value.

The listing notes easy access to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, along with trail riding and local amenities, all just off Highway 154.

The house

The cabin is 928 square feet, three bedrooms and one bathroom, built in 2001: a main-level primary bedroom plus two finished bedrooms upstairs, one set up with a queen bed and dresser, the other with two twin beds.

The main level includes an open living room and kitchen, with wood paneling throughout and a brick-surround fireplace, plus the primary bedroom.

The single bathroom features a cast-iron clawfoot soaking tub alongside a pedestal sink, a detail the listing calls out directly.

A covered porch wraps most of the cabin’s exterior, offering shaded outdoor space on more than one side of the house.

The facts

What to know before you call

This property is cross-listed on two regional MLS systems, Upper Cumberland and Knoxville, under different listing numbers, which is normal in a market that sits near the edge of both territories. We’ve confirmed Tim & Lori Denehy of Mitchell Real Estate & Auction Co. as the listing contacts directly through their brokerage.

The upstairs space includes two separate, furnished bedrooms, which lines up with the official three-bedroom count for the home: one on the main level plus two upstairs.

Select furnishings are included in the sale, per the listing. This is our first property in the Jamestown, Tennessee market, and we don’t yet have a Tennessee hub page linking into it. Anyone comparing it against other properties can see everything currently listed.
