Perched atop a gentle ridge and wrapped in timeless charm, this storybook Cottage on 52.15 acres feels as though it's been here since the early 1900s—rooted in history and encircled by lush gardens, mature hardwoods, and magically curated gathering areas. The Cottage, originally built in 1978 with additions in 1985 and 2002, is wrapped with deep screened-in porches, and features a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and a Rumford fireplace. It's a place where one could imagine the likes of Truman Capote, Robert Penn Warren, and Alice Walker trading stories around the fire, sipping a fine whiskey. A second and third fireplace anchor both the kitchen and the home's original "summer kitchen, " now reimagined as an intimate speakeasy and wine room. Down a short hallway lies the powder room and an office that opens to the back porch. Upstairs, you find the main bedroom and bath, a charming library, and a loft with closets that doubles as another bedroom. The property also includes a 30 x 46' workshop with roll-up doors, a loft, and a 400-amp panel in both the workshop and home, and a 240 volt EV plug. An additional hobby room is located near the firepit, while another storage shed with antique doors houses garden equipment. Trails dot the property, with one taking you down the holler to a picnic table by the creek. This property is so special as it is, yet also offers growth potential with more than one building site for a future home (perc test is Nov. 3), with the Cottage serving as a guest home or artist's retreat. Being only 10 minutes to Leipers Fork and Westhaven, and 40 minutes to Downtown Nashville, this property is a rare find where history, nature, and opportunity meet.
