Historic East Tennessee Estate on 100 Acres - Riverfront, Mountain Views & Event-Ready,
Own a living piece of Tennessee history with this majestic 1850 pre civil war estate, offering over 5,800 sq. ft. of restored elegance, 100 acres of productive farmland, and direct access to the Holston River that is famous for world-class fly fishing and kayaking.
Listed on the Tennessee APTA Registry, this extraordinary home has been meticulously updated by the current owners over a six-year period and features:
Spacious open interiors with soaring ceilings and original craftsmanship
5 gas fireplaces, custom built-ins, and rich wood ceilings
A gourmet kitchen flowing into a vaulted great room with casual dining and family space
3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a deluxe elevator providing access to the main bedroom suite
Expansive balcony offering panoramic views of the Holston River and Clinch Mountain
The property is a turnkey working cattle farm, cross-fenced with multiple barns, and offers room to expand the farm operation. A designated area allows for a future helipad if needed. This property is ideal for a private estate, agritourism venture, or legacy investment.
The Holston River frontage not only provides stunning vistas but also offers private access to one of the region's most celebrated spots for fly fishing and recreational kayaking.
The retiring owners, stewards of the land for over 25 years, have established a trust with Foothills Land Conservancy to help preserve the character and purpose of this historic property, ensuring its legacy continues. Located less than 30 minutes from Downtown Knoxville.
Private tours are available by appointment only.
