Disguised as a house & barn on a piece of land for sale, this is actually an opportunity to purchase a lifestyle. This quaint 10.69 acres in Chickamauga offers the freedom to enjoy a variety of hobbies at home with the chance to be creative. There is room to raise livestock, ride horses, maintain a large garden, play football or volleyball, store hobby cars, hunt deer or engage in many other activities. There is no neighborhood association to squash dreams and plenty of room to park dozens of cars.
The house was custom built in 2005 on beautiful property with a year-round creek and a view of Lookout Mountain. The barn includes a closed-in tack room, (3) stalls and a large loft. There are sheds on both sides and a sturdy corral suitable for a steer, sheep, goats or dogs.
The land is 95% cleared pasture with a small area of trees around some of the perimeter and the longest property line is the creek to the west. Much of the creek area is cleared and mowed such that it's a peaceful place to walk or sit and read while listening to the running water babble. There are sections of the creek bank sloped for easy access where deer are regularly seen watering and a firepit under the shade of the large trees.
The house includes several custom characteristics such as the window seat in one of the large upstairs bedrooms, the tile surround of the master bathtub, the hand-finished oak mantel over the wood-burning stove trimmed by wall tile, and custom-fabricated steel handrails outside. In addition to the mantel, the doorbell buzzer box, stairs, interior handrails and balusters are stained and finished oak.
There are double sinks in both full bathrooms, double shower heads in the main shower, double walk-in master closets, and even double phone and cable jacks in most rooms. The door hardware is lever-style.
In the kitchen there are hooks for coffee mugs under one cabinet, wall tile above the countertop, a double wall oven with a bar separating the eating area. The faucets are Delta and there are two water heaters for quick hot water throughout the house. Either one can supply the entire house if the other fails and there are water shutoff valves in the master closet and crawlspace.
The concrete front porch wraps around the front and both sides with (4) exterior fans and lights. There are floodlights on every corner of the house and all lights are LED. The Trane heat pump features an air handler and propane furnace in the attic and a Nest thermostat with remote access.
The house was built with longevity, maintenance and repair in mind. Starting at the foundation, PVC sleeves were installed in the footer for future cables or pipes. Extra concrete was poured in the block walls of the crawlspace, which has a sturdy, lockable door. Concrete parking curbs were used to delineate the gravel driveway and parking area. The utilities were buried to avoid overhead connections and no trees are close enough to fall or even drop needles or leaves on the roof. There are water spigots and GFCI receptacles on (3) sides of the outside of the house. The roof is metal and the chimney cap and meter base cover are stainless steel.
