Property Description
Step back in time while enjoying modern comforts at this beautifully renovated early 19th-century farmhouse, originally a stagecoach stop along the historic Buffalo Trace! Nestled on 21 picturesque acres, this 3,400+ sq ft home features 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, blending timeless character with thoughtful updates. You’ll love the spacious, eat-in country kitchen with new bespoke cabinetry (2022), a large walk-in pantry, and easy access to a generous laundry room. Inside, you’ll find original doors with antique hardware in the oldest part of the home, plus 4 cozy fireplaces (3 wood-burning, 1 gas), formal living spaces, and a flexible library/music room that could serve as a dining area. A large bonus room (or 4th bedroom) and generous unfinished basement offer additional space for your needs. Outside, the property is a dream for garden enthusiasts and hobby farmers alike, with two large barns, a two-story workshop, two-car garage (new door in 2024), 14×19 greenhouse, root cellar, and fenced pasture for horses or other livestock. Enjoy peaceful evenings on the large deck with a hot tub overlooking your land, which features two creeks, a pre–Civil War spring, and a vibrant array of plants—including fruit trees (apple, pear, cherry), daffodils, peonies, day lilies, irises, and native varieties like pennyroyal and passionflowers. Recent updates include a new roof (2024), fresh paint, updated flooring, new refrigerator (2024), and more. With stunning country views out every window, this one-of-a-kind home between Nashville and Bowling Green is rich in history, charm, and possibilities!
