Property Description

Step into a rare opportunity to revive a piece of history. Built in 1867 and located near the historic site of the Battle of Chickamauga, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath farmhouse is ready for a new chapter--perfect for buyers with a vision for restoration and a passion for timeless character. Set on a level 2-acre lot, the property is framed by towering, centuries-old oak trees that offer a breathtaking backdrop and a sense of permanence you simply can't recreate. Historic plaques dating from 1945 adorn the living room with messages from the past. The home itself is a true renovation project, offering the chance to preserve original charm while thoughtfully updating for modern living. Beyond the home, the land tells its own story. One barn and two outbuildings provide incredible flexibility for workshops, storage, or a future hobby farm--one of the outbuildings being an old smokehouse that stands as a nod to the property's past. A rare, free-standing historic outhouse remains on site, adding a unique and authentic element that reflects the property's 19th-century origins. The grounds are equally inspiring, with established fruit trees and thriving blackberry bushes that enhance the property's homestead appeal. A spring-fed pond--once active--presents an exciting opportunity to restore a beautiful natural feature and further elevate the landscape. Whether you're dreaming of restoring a historic farmhouse, creating a homestead, or crafting a one-of-a-kind rural retreat, this property is rich with potential. Opportunities like this--where history, land, and vision meet--are becoming increasingly rare.
