About this home
Built in the 1840s, this extraordinary historic estate is deeply rooted in the rich heritage of Chickamauga. Once owned by Tom Lee, brother of prominent local figure Gordon Lee -- for whom Gordon Lee High School is named -- the property offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of local history. The Lee family name remains woven into the fabric of the community, most notably through the renowned Gordon-Lee Mansion, one of the area's most treasured antebellum homes.
Owning this remarkable property is more than purchasing a home -- it is becoming part of the enduring story and architectural legacy of historic Chickamauga.
Rich with timeless craftsmanship and authentic details, the home features original pine hardwood floors throughout most of the main level, soaring 10-foot ceilings, intricate moldings, substantial wood doors, and oversized original windows that fill the home with natural light and unmistakable Southern grandeur. Four original fireplaces further enhance the warmth, elegance, and character found throughout the residence.
Inside of this 3,256 SF home, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, a well-appointed kitchen, and an elegant formal dining room designed for classic Southern entertaining. Towering 10-foot ceilings, substantial original wood doors, intricate moldings, and oversized original windows flood the home with natural light while creating an unmistakable sense of grandeur and charm.
Relax on the expansive front porch with a glass of sweet tea and enjoy peaceful afternoons, or retreat to the private screened porch overlooking the beautifully maintained grounds.
Situated on an extraordinary 2.24 acre lot, the property features a stunning 20x40 in-ground swimming pool with an accompanying pool house complete with kitchen and half bath -- ideal for entertaining family and guests. Historic outbuildings, including the original smokehouse and a charming gazebo, further enhance the estate's authentic Southern appeal. The guest house, featuring two separate living areas and two fireplaces, offers endless possibilities for a mother-in-law suite, guest accommodations, or income-producing rental potential. The original carriage house, now serving as a garage, still retains its historic lower-level horse stall -- a rare and fascinating nod to the property's past.
Additional rare features include two storm cellars with generous storage space, providing both practicality and another unique connection to the home's historic roots.
Encircling the estate is an original rock wall and striking iron front gate that create an unforgettable first impression and complete the storybook setting of this one-of-a-kind historic property.
Within walking distance to downtown Chickamauga shops, churches, restaurants, and top-rated schools.
Whether envisioned as a private family estate, event property, multigenerational retreat, or future showplace, this iconic property offers endless potential and an irreplaceable legacy.
Historic charm. Timeless beauty. An extraordinary opportunity to own a true Chickamauga landmark.
