Property Description
Sale of the Shanks farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in East Tennessee, the house has been designated by the State as a Century Farm Home, dating to the pre-Civil War era. The home has been in the same family for over 200 years. Located on 47.76 acres, the two-story house is a cozy yet roomy 2,166 square feet. This is a log structure, built in 1840 and clad in weatherboarding in the late 1800s. The logs are not exposed either on the exterior or interior of the home. The historic residence features two porches, one on the main level and one upstairs, 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a living room, dining room, and modern kitchen and is heated with natural gas. New double pane windows have been installed throughout. The property provides quite privacy, overlooking the rolling hills and mountain ranges of Hawkins County. Mature trees and established landscaping create a comfortable atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection or for outside gatherings. This property represents more than just a home-it's living connections to our nation's past. Whether your vision includes a faithful historical restoration or thoughtfully blending period features with modern amenities, this Civil War-era residence offers a unique opportunity with this never-before-listed family homestead. Can be purchased with additional acreage along with these 2 tracts. 24 SHOWING NOTICE IS REQUIRED. All information taken from tax records and third party. Buyer and Buyer's agent to verify all information contained herein.
