Description

Welcome to Sill Country—an extraordinary Hendersonville estate where history, privacy, and possibility converge. Originally constructed in 1832 as a log cabin, this one- of- a- kind property spans 12 secluded acres and has been expanded over time into a nearly 6, 000 sq ft retreat that marries timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern touches. The original hand- hewn poplar logs remain exposed throughout the home, offering a rare and authentic connection to 19th- century Tennessee history. The main residence features new appliances and a new roof, preserving its historic charm while supporting comfortable, everyday living. Beyond the main home, you' ll find over 4, 000 additional square feet of living space—including a 3- bedroom guest house with new carpet and appliances, a pool house, and two barn apartments with a workshop—ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or income- producing use. The expansive rec room, currently styled with a vintage general store façade, offers incredible flexibility with full kitchen, large walk- in closet and full bath with large shower—it could serve as a second living area, creative studio, or attached apartment. Whether you’re envisioning a boutique bed and breakfast, an intimate wedding venue, or a private family compound with room to expand, Sill Country offers a rare opportunity to create something lasting. Sill Country isn’t just a home—it’s a legacy. 1% lender credit with use of preferred lender. See media for floorplans and features. DON' T MISS the attached video!!
