This historic home was in the same family from the mid-1800s to the mid-1990s. The picturesque private drive can be used to take relaxing strolls of nearly a half mile from the entrance to the famed Ocoee river. Filled with southern charm on a tranquil 9+ acre estate you will find young fruit trees, producing Walnut and Pecan trees, blueberry bushes, and a variety of grape vines. A small forest near the main home with an electric lighted path will guide you to the nearly 500 ft. of Ocoee River frontage that has been cleared for plenty of room for new additions like a second home or a short-term rental space. Watch the sunrise over the Chilhowee Mountain and Cherokee National Forest in the distance from rocking chairs found on either of two front porches. Spend your afternoons swinging on the riverfront gazebo, having lunch at one of the scenic picnic tables, enjoying floating down the Ocoee river, fishing for bass, bream and the occasional trout or try your hand at disc golf. Near the house you can enjoy the beautiful salt water pool on summer days and nights while grilling out with loved-ones. A small barn encloses a log cabin that was purported to have been built in 1800 by Cherokee Indians or pioneers. The main home was built in 1862 and one may feel transported back in time upon entering the foyer with its shiplap ceiling. Entertain your guests in the den with its gas fireplace and the kitchen which features a gas stove and quartzite countertops surrounding an impressive farmhouse sink. The large pantry is perfect for storing dry goods and also has space for a small office. There are two bedrooms and one bath on the first floor. The home has a total of five fireplaces, two of which have been converted to gas. As you make your way upstairs your guests can enjoy two bedrooms with shiplap walls and ceilings, each with a private bathroom. Experience all of this for yourself in beautiful southeast Tennessee.
