Public Remarks: Own a choice piece of Tennessee history just 35 miles east of Nashville airport, spanning almost one third mile of I-40 frontage. This 24.5 acre, 200-year-old organic method farm, with dry stack ''century stone'' walls, both large and small creeks, and a 3000sqft farmhouse. This location at the Wilson/Smith Co line doesn't get much better for the outdoor enthusiasts: so close to the coveted Caney Fork River, Center Hill Dam, and Defeated Creek; within an hour of multiple waterfalls, caverns, and hiking treks in TN. Whether you choose to build your dream home on this greenbelt estate and restore the early 1800s farmhouse, there's no doubt the farmhouse would make a unique Air B&B, a Songwriters Retreat, or an income generating rental. The unmistakable architectural details do not disappoint. Original settlers' logs under new siding; antique materials largely intact, including extinct American chestnut; hand turned balusters and porch posts; Even an old log smokehouse onsite makethis property a truly rare find. Ask about the small, boutique farm orchards, the tractors, agricultural implements and tools, as well, for a turn-key operation. Own a slice of the past and shape its future today. Log home in historic register built in mid 1800's with new addition in 1890. Oak and chestnut board floors, 4 hand cut stone fireplaces. Outbuilding has 4 stalls to house farming equipment and a veggie wash station in outbuilding with half bath and storage room. Selling AS-IS.
