This spectacular home was designed as a retreat by a Nashville songwriter and is unsurpassed in quality and beauty. Sitting in the center of its own 53 tranquil acres, the property offers both gorgeous long-range views and fabulous mountain creek. The estate is located in the Brightwood community, a lovely 550-acre parcel designed for those wanting to live in harmony with nature. There is abundant wildlife, bold creeks with swimming holes, picnic areas, and miles of hiking trails. The home is a masterful creation that is designed for an elegant but casual lifestyle. The decor of an Italian country villa is much in evidence, but there is a clever use of many cultures such as the Celtic knots at the corners of the hand-painted foyer ceiling. The living areas feature wide-planked maple floors, wool carpets. The kitchen is both functional and beautiful with limestone countertops and sink, a copper prep sink, birds-eye maple cabinets, Viking, and Sub-Zero appliances. Faux finished walls and hand-painted frescoes can be seen throughout. Every bath has a heated tile floor, but the master bath is amazing with a yellow jade shower and gold onyx marble floors. See agent remarks.
