Looking for a buyer that is not in a hurry, as seller will not be moving until the end of May. Putting it up FSBO for a while first to see what happens. Price, while FSBO, is somewhat negotiable. If sold now, seller would need to rent it through May of 2026, or come to other terms with the buyer that would allow occupancy until then.
Uniquely beautiful home on uniquely beautiful acreage. This 16.4-acre property is one of a kind. Conveniently located to both Cookeville and Livingston, not far from Highway 111, in the sought after Oak Hill Road area. Just over one hour to the Nashville airport and one hour and thirty minutes to Knoxville. Home, built in 2020, is privately tucked back in at the end of a long, paved lane. There are approximately seven acres of old growth woods that have not been logged in eons, with many trees that are massive in size. At the rear of the land is a picnic/camping area along the creek that is simply a slice of heaven on earth. This is the well-known Roaring River, but at this stage of its journey, being only 0.25 miles from the headwaters, it is more of a steady meandering stream than a roaring river. And it runs cold and crystal-clear year-round.
Pine grove. Springs. Cave. Loads of deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Current owners have a quart-sized container filled with native artifacts found on the property.
House is 3000 square feet with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. There are three heating options. One being the mini splits throughout the home; the other, radiant floor heat in the concrete slab, heated via an on-demand LP water heater, and lastly, a wood-burning fireplace that can heat the entire home alone if kept burning. There is a room off of the two-car garage that was plumbed and wired as a second kitchen. The plan was to use it as a butcher/canning room or commercial kitchen. As of now, it is just used for storage. Also, the mechanical room has poured concrete walls and ceiling, so as to suffice for a storm shelter if needed.
Oh, and let’s not forget the extra-large, detached garage/workshop. It is 30’x72’with a 12’ ceiling! Plenty of space for your RV, ATVs, boat, etc.
Seller can show now but request financial preapproval and a minimum three days’ notice.
A neighbor may be interested in buying the woods and creek portion, which could open up the possibility of the home on 9.4 acres being available instead of the full 16.4. This is only if a buyer wished to part with seven acres of woods and the creek frontage, so as to get the home at a lower price.
