Historic Home & 31.5± Acres

Situated at the end of a long driveway with a gated stone entrance, you will find this beautiful historic home that has been updated and preserved for years of enjoyment. Since purchasing the home in 2016, the current owners retained the charm and elegance of the past while updating the amenities with some modern touches. The home features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, living room, sitting room, den, dining room, kitchen, and utility room. Upon entering, you will feel the warmth and rich history of this Southern gem. The beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the home and one of the 5 fireplaces is the focal point of the living room. The owners suite has lots of windows for natural light and an en suite bathroom with tiled shower and double vanities. Downstairs, you will also find a sitting room with built-in bookcases. The den boasts wood beams, hardwood parquet flooring, and a fireplace. Spacious country kitchen with fireplace, work island, and lots cabinets. Just off the kitchen is the large laundry room/butler's pantry with tons of cabinet storage, countertop space, and sink. Also off the kitchen is the formal dining room with heavy moldings, and french doors leading out to the side deck. Upstairs, there are two more spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors and a Jack and Jill bath. This bathroom boasts a separate tiled shower, tub, and double vanities.

As you step outside from the den, a large brick patio awaits. From here, you will enter the massive sunroom with multiple windows and doors, brick floor, and wooden beam ceiling. This is the perfect set-up for indoor and outdoor entertaining. Adjacent to the sunroom is a separate office space with storage and a fireplace. Also attached is a two car garage with built-in storm shelter. 

Situated on 31.5 acres of rolling pasture and wooded land. Embraced by neighboring farms that have been in the same families for generations and once gave Southern troops views of the Union troops at Horse Mountain. The previous owners have shared a history passed down that Alfred Friddle (a Confederate soldier) was a guest at the home until 1926.

A truly peaceful and private property! 

The location is perfect as it is a short drive to historic Lynchburg, Huntsville, Tullahoma, and Tims Ford Lake. The property is ideal to be used as a B&B, event or retreat center, or to continue to serve as a comfortable home.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a beautiful small farm and a piece of history.
