About this home
Welcome to 461 Richards Lane in Powells Crossroads, where life moves at a gentler pace, the air feels a little fresher, and every sunrise seems to linger just a bit longer. Located just 30 minutes from Chattanooga, this nearly 11-acre farm is flanked by a picturesque thicket of trees on two sides that provides privacy and serenity, opening up to a broad, sunlit pasture that is perfect for exploring, gardening, or cultivating your own small farmstead. The primary residence features 3 bedrooms & 3 full baths, in addition to a well-appointed one-bedroom guest house, a workshop, pole barn, stable, carport, and more. Situated at the entrance of the Sequatchie Valley, Powells Crossroads is a charming town with its own mayor and parks system. Anyone who appreciates the outdoors and scenic vistas will enjoy this serene setting, nestled between Suck Creek Mountain and the Cumberland Plateau.
The storybook log cabin feels as if it were lifted from a dream, cheerful and timeless from the moment you step onto its gabled front porch. A bright red French-paned front door sets the tone for the warmth inside. Exposed logs, a vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, and a striking stone fireplace create an inviting living space that radiates comfort. The open-concept layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen, anchored by an island with a rich butcher block countertop that provides both extra seating and generous workspace. A stretch of stainless steel counters along the main wall adds a modern touch and makes cooking a pleasure. Just off the kitchen, a cozy sitting area with built-in shelving and a mountain stone fireplace provides a quiet retreat. The main-level primary suite feels inviting with its paneled walls, shiplap ceiling, and double closets, along with a private ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower. A conveniently located powder room on the main floor is perfect for guests. Upstairs, you will find two charming bedrooms, a full bath, and an upstairs landing that offers a comfortable sitting area. One bedroom is located just off the mezzanine, overlooking the living room below, while the second sitting area is ideal for a home office or reading nook.
Step outside to the expansive back deck overlooking the pasture, where you can enjoy morning coffee, evening meals, or simply watch the light shift across the fields.
A separate guest cottage includes a covered porch, double French doors, and a beautifully finished interior with a studio-style layout, kitchenette, and full bathroom.
Between the guest house and main house, you'll find an impressive workshop. Housed in a metal building, the workshop has water & power, perfect for woodworking, car enthusiasts, or simply vehicle maintenance & storage. As you explore the property, you'll find a useful pole barn, stables as well as carport.
This property blends rustic beauty with modern comfort, offering the peace of country living just seven minutes from Whitwell's local restaurants and conveniences. Schedule your showing today.
