PRICE REDUCED! Summary: Discover a pristine 110.521-acre estate nestled in the rolling landscapes of southeastern Anderson County, a stone's throw from SH 294 and east of Slocum. This property boasts a rich combination of dense woodland and lush, improved pastures, offering an idyllic setting for both living and leisure.
Land Characteristics: The estate is predominantly covered with 68 acres of mature mixed timber, featuring towering pines and diverse hardwood species, creating a serene and private ambiance. Complementing the wooded expanse are 36 acres of terraced pastures, optimized for erosion control and aesthetic appeal, alongside two sizeable ponds that enhance the land's beauty and biodiversity. The main pond is approximately 4.5 acres with a strong spring feeding the lake that maintains healthy water levels throughout most of the year. The water flows around the spillway through a small creek into the woods behind the dam and over a small waterfall offering a unique appeal and amplifying the soothing sounds of nature.
Improvements: The property features a meticulously planned array of improvements, each designed to enhance the usability and enjoyment of the estate. The centerpiece is a spacious five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home, enlarged with some updates in 2007, which includes large patios ideal for entertaining and relaxation. A detached three-car garage offers ample storage and workspace. Equestrian facilities are robust, featuring a 2,400 square foot horse barn with eight stalls, a tack room, and a wash area, all connected to a 2,000 square foot shop via a covered area for equipment parking. The shop itself is a split-level, wood-frame structure with metal siding, offering excellent workspace and a small office which overlooks the shop floor. Additional structures include a 2,100 square foot utility building for extensive equipment storage and a charming 600 square foot cabin with one bedroom and one bathroom, perfect for guests or as a rental opportunity. Collectively, these improvements not only provide functional spaces but also enhance the property's charm and potential uses.
