Paw Paw Springs Estate
Sitting on the western edge of Rutherford County between Franklin and Murfreesboro, Tennessee is the Paw Paw Springs Estate that consists of 17.34 +/- acres with a one-of-a-kind custom built home. Included in the estate is a rental home that dates back to 1913 as well as a reclaimed milk barn that visits that same era that has been restored and protected to weather the test of time.
The main home sits atop of a 600 ft driveway with an elevation gain of 50 feet over the course from the driveway's creek bottom entrance to the corrugated concrete breezeway landing between the Dog Trot style home and what is meant to mimic an attached smoke house but is actually a small work room that leads into a fully climatized concrete gun vault that doubles as a storm shelter rated at 350 mph winds.
Inside this 3 bed, 2½ bath, full custom home framed with 2x6's and insulated with foam and blow-in blanket insulation, you will find the owners went out of their way to make sure the rustic feeling extended throughout the inside while giving the owners a well built and comfortable environment despite the weather outside.
As you step through the front door you are immediately welcomed by a vaulted ceiling and 22' tall stone fireplace with gas log insert adorned with a hand cut limestone rock hearth that came from a home on an adjoining farm dating back to 1863. Over 12,000 square feet of tongue and groove Georgia pine covers the walls and vaulted ceiling. As impressive as the fireplace, and just opposite the room, is the custom built staircase which was milled from the cedar trees that were removed from the property to make way for the driveway and home site. The treads to the stairs are the heart of the cedars with a rich, red color that contrasts nicely against the White Oak staircase stringers that are bordered by the cedar log newel posts and hand skinned cedar spindles. Nature's handiwork is evident as the spindles intentionally allowed bugs to work on them which created amazing and natural, scrimshaw-type carvings on each and every one in a way that could never be duplicated by man.
At the top of the stairs sits an entertainment loft that features a surround sound system along with a beautiful pool table and custom wood bench with a matching pool stick holder, all overlooking the fireplace and Amish built red oak hardwood floors. Adjoining the loft upstairs are 2 bedrooms and one full bath that your guests or family members will be sure to enjoy.
Digging into the finer details of the downstairs, you will notice several axe hewn, squared red heart cedar logs that were the main structural support in the same home that the hearth came from and are now the main structural support in this home. This feature creates an open concept allowing the dining and kitchen area to flow into the living room with that view of the fireplace. The handmade hickory kitchen cabinets and island with cedar bar top accentuates the rustic theme.
Just off one side of the downstairs living space is the half bath that has a unique feature of a hand hammered copper sink sitting inside a Tennessee Jack Daniels whiskey barrel that was sourced from Lynchburg, Tennessee.
On the opposing end of the downstairs sits the master bedroom featuring a large walk-in closet and a master bath to die for that includes an open, walk-in shower along with an original, cast iron, claw foot tub.
The laundry and mudroom are located close to the breezeway entrance side of the home. There is also a small office space in this area.
If all of those details are not dreamy enough, the large front porch overlooks the serenity of the unaltered timbered hillside that protects you from the outside world. The backside, just off the living room, is a beautifully covered gathering area. The western cedar rafters and imported blue pine from Montana is held up by the same axe hewn, squared cedar logs that are found inside the home. The columns sit on top of stone pillars that are accented at night by a landscape lighting package that adds just the right amount of romantic lighting for any late evening cocktail hour.
The property is truly designed for the homeowner that wants custom associated with serenity and privacy, yet close to amenities. The property lies 6 miles from I-24, 4½ miles to I-840, and 8 miles to Murfreesboro's grocery stores, medical facilities and dining.
This list of bonus features adds even more to an already one of a kind estate:
- High Speed Fiber Optic Internet
- 100 yard shooting range with shooting house
- log playhouse for kids
- chicken coop with natural watering system
- wildlife pond
- orchard with pear trees and Granny Smith apple trees
- open faced lean-to for storage
- open-faced covered parking for 4 additional vehicles
- 20+ year renter that would like to stay with the property's ownership transfer and those proceeds will help cover the annual property taxes
- Property is in a Forestry Management Plan which helps keep taxes lower. This is similar to a Greenbelt Program, but does not require the owner to do certain processes to qualify.
When we say there is Nothing Like This Property in the area... we wholeheartedly mean it.
