Welcome to 5444 E Robertson - a 1920's (or earlier) historical log home on almost 8 acres.
This home has privacy on all sides and a huge covered front porch. It really is like stepping back in time and forgetting the world around you.
House sits back off the road with trees on all sides. You do not have to see another person unless you want to!
This is the front yard looking down to the house. The property goes to the left treeline on the other side of the driveway and into the woods on the right. The wooded area to the right is included in the land and would be great for trails.
The view from this porch (and really anywhere on the property) is simply pictureque.
Covered porch could hold porch sets on each side due to size. This is a great spot for entertaining, relaxing, or just having a drink.
Front door opens into a combined formal living, dining, and kitchen combo. The stairs go up to a large open bedroom space the length of the original house. There are two walk-in closets on each end. This floor plan is so flexible.
Formal living and dining combo area looking into the first bedroom and the laudry and main bathroom areas.
Formal dining and living spaces
Dining area into the kitchen. This home has a lot of cabinet and counter space for an older home with an entire wall where even more can be added! There is also a pantry.
Modern countertops and appliances. These cabinets look great natural, but would also be amazing painted in farmhouse tones.
A closer look at the cabinetry and countertops. There is a full appliance suite including a built in microwave and dishwasher.
Bedroom 2 is a flex room that has also been used as a den. There is a fireplace (has recently been used with electric logs, but appears to have been set up for gas or wood in the past) and a closet with shelving.
Another view of bedroom 2 showign the closet looking into the formal living area.
This is the laundry room which houses a newer water heater, has a ton of cabinets, and counter space.
This is a utility room off the laundry room and kitchen. Aside from the bedrooms, this home has a ton of extra rooms, nooks, and spaces to be utilized for some many things!
This is a large mud room off the utility room & kitchen that leads to both the back deck & the owner's suite. This home has a true in-law (or teen) quarters. This area can be completely separated from the rest of the house & has a private entrance.
This bedroom is huge! This is bedroom 3 or the "owner's suite" which has it's own hotel unit heating and air, a large walk-in closet, private bathroom, and private exterior entrance.
To the left wall is the walk-in closet, door to the left is the private bathroom, and straight ahead you go through the mudroom (has a front and back exterior door) then the utility room before you get back into the main house.
Walk-in closet in the owner's bedroom or in-law area apartment
Owner's bathroom has been remodeled with double vanities, a towel closet, and rain showerhead.
This is bedroom 4 or the rec room. This is the huge area upstairs in the main house. There is a small reading nook to the left where the window is overlooking the front lawn.
This room has double walk-in closets on each end with a window in each.
Another view of the front lawn.
This is the side of the home showing a very old concrete cellar that is great for storms or a wine cellar.
This is the back of the property looking at the huge detached apartment. This building had an electric meter of it's own that CEMC said could be reinstalled after an electrican comes out and updates it all and they do an inspection.
You see two doors here and there is another recessed door to the left that goes to a tool shed with shelves. These two doors go into a roughed in apartment and recording studio that needs to be finished out. Water is already ran & a bath roughed in
This is the back pasture that leads down to the pond. At one time it was stocked, but not sure the status of the fish. There was also lights there at one time. The posts are still up, but I suspect the electricity came from the building.
This is just the main yard. Behind the camera is still a full pasture and a pond behind a barbed wire fence.
The back pasture & pond area. This property is surrounded by trees so no matter what happens with neighboring properties in future, yours should be hidden by trees! Property line goes into woods quite a bit towards 52 so even more expansion room.
An aerial view of the property from the road to the pond and trees. Property goes into the woods to the left of the shed behind the pond.
You can see from this image just how much privacy this property has yet it is so convenient to Cross Plains (end of the street a gas station, restaurant, & Soda Shop), Orlinda a couple of miles other way (restaurants, bank, post office), and Portland
This area is absolutely beautiful. This is the kind of place you see in old movies and on post cards.
You don't see this much green in many places this close to Nashville anymore.
You can see the full property which again includes almost all of the woods to the right.
Everything about this home is picture worthy.
So close and yet feels so far from civilization. You can get to anything you need in under 10 minutes, but it doesn't look or feel like it while you are there.
Approximate property line.
The blue is 5444 E Robertson. You can see it goes beyond the pond closer to 52 flush with the house on the corner. If you were to purchase the lot on 52 you would have access on two main roads. We do not own that lot. Surrounded by vacant land.
  • Area 2,170 sq ft
  • Bedrooms 4

Description

Amazing opportunity to own a piece of history with almost 8 acres of flat usable land and a pond! Complete privacy - surrounded by woods on all 4 sides! Main part of the house is original historical log home with a concrete cellar. Home has 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Owner suite with private bath/ walk in closet is on the first floor. Only upstairs bedroom is oversized and could be 2 bedrooms. There is a building approximately 25x40 that had a separate meter with water already ran. It would make a great income producer if you got it approved as a DADU or Peerspace rental. Meter was pulled for non- use so needs a CEMC inspection to put back. Water runs to building, but winterized so turned off at the building. It is NOT finished and needs work. One side of it has a giant open room and closet with a roughed bathroom. The other side has a roughed in recording studio space inside a large room with a door to a second room. There are acres of flat pasture with a pond and wooded acres. Perfect paradise with tons of wildlife including turkeys and deer frequenting the yard. There is also a small concrete barn. This was going to be my personal restoration project & forever home, but I realized I am too busy with other things & need to be closer to town not running a farm. House is completely livable, but could use upgrade / updates for full potential, but would easily be a $ 750k+ home if completely renovated. I have this home priced for as- is condition so please do not come out expecting it to not need updates and work for this price. If you want us to do the work we can discuss raising price to accommodate. *** Cameras on property. Please do not come onto the propety without an approved appointment.***
