The story
- Basement
Discover this rare 7-acre secluded property on Monteagle Mountain! Purchased in 2001 by the current owner, a small home was lovingly expanded and renovated into an extraordinary family retreat. Lovely stone steps create a curved path to the unique glass tower entry with Kolbe glass windows and where one immediately sees the breathtaking views that expand the width of the home. The Family room has mahogany framed glass doors opening to your choice of decks and a central stone fireplace with a two sided opening which is shared with the Kitchen and Dining areas and an additional Sitting room. The primary bedroom suite has Nana Wall glass folding doors which open to a covered porch and Kolbe windows allowing additional unique views. Three additional bedrooms and two sleeping lofts work well for large families and guests. One of the bedrooms includes a separate entrance and is plumbed for a kitchenette. Many lovely architectural antiques, such as 19th C walnut doors and both bronze and iron gates are featured throughout. In addition to the decks, nature lovers will enjoy the outdoor firepit which is located at the entrance to a trail that leads down to the river stream. Beautiful shrubs, plants and mountain laurel surround this home. Hikers will enjoy the South Cumberland State Park, Fiery Gizzard Trail, Mountain Goat Trail and more. Nearby is the University of the South campus at Sewanee, dining, bookstores and shops, as well as many more scenic views! A new separate guest house is currently under construction!
