About this home
Perched atop a gentle ridge and wrapped in timeless charm, this storybook Cottage on 52.15 acres feels as though it's been here since the early 1900s—rooted in history and encircled by lush gardens, mature hardwoods, and magically curated gathering areas.
The Cottage, originally built in 1978 with additions in 1985 and 2002, is wrapped with deep screened-in porches, and features a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and a Rumford fireplace. It's a place where one could imagine the likes of Truman Capote, Robert Penn Warren, and Alice Walker trading stories around the fire, sipping a fine whiskey.
A second and third fireplace anchor both the kitchen and the home's original "summer kitchen," now reimagined as an intimate speakeasy and wine room. Down a short hallway lies the powder room and an office that opens to the back porch. Upstairs, you find the main bedroom and bath, a charming library, and a loft with closets that doubles as another bedroom.
The property also includes a 30' x 46' workshop with roll-up doors, a loft, and a 400-amp panel in both the workshop and home, along with a 240-volt EV plug. An additional hobby room is located near the firepit, while another storage shed with antique doors houses garden equipment. Trails weave through the acreage, one leading down the holler to a picnic table by the creek.
Beyond its existing magic, the property offers remarkable potential: the current Cottage can be expanded into a 5–6 bedroom home, and a second approved perc site allows for an additional 5–6 bedroom residence—ideal for a family compound, guest retreat, or multi-generational living.
