Public Remarks: Historic 200-year-old farmhouse on 24.52 Greenbelt acres, located approximately 35 miles east of Nashville International Airport and listed on the historic registry. This unique property presents exceptional versatility for agribusiness, retreat use, or short-term rental potential (buyer to verify all intended uses). The original settler log structure remains beneath the exterior siding, complemented by an 1890 addition featuring American Chestnut flooring. The home includes three bedrooms and two flex rooms, allowing flexibility for guest accommodations, workspaces, or creative use. The acreage is bordered by dry-stack century stone and offers terrain suitable for organic farming, orchard development, boutique agriculture, or experiential stays. Natural amenities include waterfalls, close proximity to Defeated Creek, nearby hiking trails, enhancing guest appeal and privacy. Improvements include a historic log smokehouse and a functional outbuilding with four stalls for equipment or agricultural use, a vegetable wash station, half bath, and storage room. Existing tractors, agricultural implements, and tools support continued use (farm equipment does not convey but can be negotiated in acceptable offer). Rich in history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty, this one-of-a-kind estate offers the opportunity to steward a meaningful piece of Tennessee history while enjoying an elevated rural lifestyle close to Nashville. With its proximity to Nashville, historic designation, and diverse land features, this property offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a working farm, private retreat, or income-generating venture, subject to buyer verification. Selling AS-IS.
