6235 old mill creek road

Just 20 minutes from Cookeville, this 1 bed/ 1 bath mountain cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, untapped potential and is surrounded by mature woods and peaceful views. Inside, you'll find a home filled with stories. Lumber harvested from the property itself became part of its construction, arrowheads are thoughtfully set into the stone fireplace hearth, and cedar lined closets serve as a reminder of the land's history. The current layout has served both as a 1700 sqft one-bedroom with an oversized studio and as a two-bedroom by using large additional flex space upstairs. The second level is already open and inviting, and with small modification, there's opportunity to create an even larger, airy living space. Whether you're searching for a weekend escape, an inspiring artist's studio, a quiet writer's retreat, or a full-time home with room to work remotely, some TLC would truly make this property something special! Light restrictions help preserve the character of the area while still allowing you to enjoy the property as your own.
