POSSIBLE USES:
YOUR PRIVATE DREAM HOME: This property is the perfect dream home with lots of room
for family, friends, entertaining and just relaxing and enjoying majestic mountain views
from every room. Heavy coffered woodworking throughout the main home shows the
craftsmanship and care of the design, displaying Tennessee granite in the commercial
chef's kitchen from the local quarry, vaulted ceiling with heavy wood and hand carved
beams; and five open wood burning fireplaces for that country feel. All doorknobs are hand
carved Italian brass.
The main floor contains the central living and library area that has vaulted ceilings with
wooden beams showcasing a wall of windows for amazing views. There is also a private
office with circular metal stairs to the lower level; the master bedroom with his and her
bathrooms; a commercial chef's kitchen with walk-in pantry; a formal dining room; two
separated rooms, one with a wet bar and the other with a fireplace, that can be used for
entertaining, events, or business; a greenhouse; an enclosed sunroom that can be opened
to become a breezeway with stone flooring and a wet bar for entertaining or other events;
a private balcony with a built-in outdoor stone grill on the home's upper level for enjoying
the beautiful sunsets and early morning fog from the river below the mountain ridge; a
guest suite with its own private kitchen and dining area ; and numerous bathrooms.
The lower level is an expansive entertaining space with a pool table; extensive custom built-
in bar with a back storage room that contains a large chest freezer and storage space; an
impressive, oversized stone fireplace with a built in seating area the length of the wall; four
suite bedrooms; a wine cellar; laundry facilities; and walkout access to the expansive back
yard and stone sitting area. The back yard features a stone staircase connecting the upper

ground swimming pool, and the tennis court area, all of which needs renovating and the
