With no neighbors for several miles behind my 120 acres, this serene escape ranges in elevation from 600 to 1200 feet, featuring remarkable rock formations and canyons accessible through trails. Revel in the tranquility as you unwind on the front porch, gazing at the stars and listening to the soothing calls of owls. Inside, find comfort in two beds boasting new gel foam mattresses (38" twin). You bring your own sleeping bag or linens and towels. Stay connected with provided internet access while enjoying the convenience of washing and drinking water. Experience the refreshing touch of a natural spring, where you can place a cup for a cool drink. Additional amenities include a accessible garden hose, a drink refrigerator, and a microwave. Stay cool with a ceiling fan and utilize electric plugs for your convenience. Electric heat is provided. An attached outhouse with a cedar shaving commode provides a rustic yet comfortable relief option. Relish the outdoors on the covered deck equipped with a table, chairs, and a tabletop wood stove perfect for cooking hotdogs or roasting marshmallows. Venture down the road to explore rock hunting along a creek or make a short 4-mile trip to Center Hill Lake.

Nestled on a sprawling 40 acre farm just 15 miles from downtown Nashville, this cozy cabin is a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature's beauty. At the front of the property you will find horses in the paddocks as well as chickens, mini donkeys, a sheep, a pig, mini Highland cows, and dwarf Nigerian goats, all within the barnyard. A spring fed creek runs along the front of the property by the road and there is a stocked one acre pond near the main home. Also near the main home is treehouse "cabin" complete with a swinging bridge. Feel free to bring fishing poles, feed and pet the animals, and gather eggs early in the morning. Tucked in the hollow of the surrounding ridges, the rustic cabin sits on the hillside with a small pond at the foot. A wide front deck with rocking chairs and a double glider overlooks the pond, offering a perfect spot to have coffee at sunrise or unwind beneath the stars. The cabin is furnished with antiques, a fluffy queen bed, and an oversized bunk above. Although the cabin is meant to be a retreat from modern electronics, it does have a cieling fan, light, TV, and outlets powered by solar panels. There is an outdoor sink and small tankless hot water shower head, gravity fed by a water tank on the hillside. You will also find an RV toilet behind the cabin under the awning.

Bar area stocked with all the tools and glassware you need to whip up a cocktail or enjoy a glass of wine while you watch nature just outside.
