ABOUT THIS HOME

Welcome to a one-of-a-kind custom-built, book-ended log home on nearly 18 acres of pure privacy and natural beauty, just minutes from nostalgic Nashville. With an electric gated entrance, this property combines rustic elegance with modern convenience. Most of the wood you see was thoughtfully harvested right from the land itself, creating an authentic and timeless character. At the center of the home, the great room showcases a massive stone fireplace that burns real wood-a perfect gathering spot on cool evenings. Expansive windows frame panoramic views in every direction, while the inviting layout offers four bedrooms, two full baths, and a family room with a walk-out entrance. Imagine sipping your favorite drink as the sun sets, or curling up with a good book and hot tea by the fire. The home is fully equipped with smart features, modern alarm systems, a tankless water heater, and hot water on demand units. High-speed internet extends across the residence, bunkhouse, craft house, and barn-keeping you connected while enjoying your retreat. Step outside, and the property unfolds into a true outdoor sanctuary. A private nature trail winds through a huge variety of mature trees, making it perfect for peaceful walks, wildlife watching, or exploring the land. Gather around the fire pit, tinker in the workshop, or take advantage of the brand-new $27,000 septic system for worry-free living. Whether you're looking for a permanent residence, a family retreat, or a turnkey opportunity, this estate has it all. Please see attached documents for additional details on the bunkhouse and studio, which expand the property's incredible versatility.
