Drive just one hour east from
Nashville International Airport, just barely into the foothills of the
Appalachians, and you'll find it,
built into the side of a tall hill
overlooking beautiful pastures and towering wooded hills. Secluded yet
not remote, this magnificent and massive earth-sheltered home and its 54
acres of pristine land are available for sale. This is a rare opportunity to
buy a distinctive and unique residence.
This is God's country,
no planes, trains or expressways to jar your senses. Wherever you
turn, you see and hear only nature's beauty. Hike or drive to
the top of the hill on your private road
,
create as big a garden as you want in the front pasture, sit on your 900 square
foot patio at night and gaze at the Milky Way (no light pollution here), or
enjoy the view from the Great room - there's 32 feet of insulated sliding
glass doors on the front of the house!
