Step inside and bask in the glorious natural light pouring through the southeast-facing windows, illuminating the open concept living, dining, and kitchen area beneath its vaulted ceiling.

Create the ultimate entertainment space, a cozy retreat, or perhaps even your own personal gym – the choice is yours! Outside, nature beckons with open arms. Buck Creek runs through the property, offering a tranquil soundtrack to your daily adventures.

Picture yourself unwinding on the front deck, soaking in the short-range ridgeline views and listening to the soothing melody of the creek below – it's the epitome of relaxation. Plus, just off the back of the house, discover your own private oasis with a cozy firepit area. But that's not all – as if this haven couldn't get any better, you'll also enjoy access to a picturesque picnic area on the banks of Buck Creek, an amenity for community members only. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or simply seeking solace in nature, this idyllic spot is sure to become a favorite retreat. Conveniently located less than a 30-minute drive from Main Street Highlands and downtown Franklin, you'll enjoy the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. Embrace the best of both worlds – a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, yet just a stone's throw away from the vibrant energy of town.
