Welcome to “Logcastle 1855”, your very own woodland retreat in the heart of Franklin. Tucked away beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods, 824 High Point Ridge Road offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and serene seclusion, all while being located in the sought after Forest Home Farms neighborhood. This one-of-a-kind log cabin rests on a private, 2.2 acre wooded lot just minutes from downtown Franklin and Leiper’s Fork. Follow the winding driveway through the trees to discover a storybook setting complete with 2 historical log cabins originally built in the 1800’s and moved to this property from Montgomery Bell State Park in the late 70’s/early 80’s. The natural surroundings and abundant wildlife provide a peaceful backdrop for everyday living or a relaxing weekend escape. Logcastle has been lovingly restored to enhance the character and charge that will stand the test of time. A welcoming front porch invites the outdoors in, creating a harmonious connection with nature. The cozy main cabin offers 3 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, exposed beams, and warm, inviting spaces throughout. The front door and lower kitchen cabinets survived the 1961 fire that destroyed the Maxwell House in Nashville and were brought here as part of the restoration to add yet another beautiful piece of history to this perfect Franklin property. Further up the hill at the top of the property, there is a small “writers” cabin with a beautiful view of nature at its best. It has a kitchen, bathroom and living area on the main level, and a loft bedroom on the second level. This cabin is patiently waiting on a new caretaker to write its next chapter in history. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a weekend getaway, or a unique short-term rental opportunity, this historical gem is a rare find in one of Williamson County’s most desirable areas. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of Tennessee tranquility.

Unique historical cabin nestled in the woods of Forest Homes Farm subdivision. Feels like you are in the secluded hills of Gatlinburg but close to downtown Franklin, Leiper's Fork and Bellevue. There is also a small cabin behind the main house on top of the hill with a beautiful view! Both were built in the 1800's and moved from Montgomery Bell State Park in the late 70's. Photos are from the previous listing in 2017 but it shows what the property could look like again after much TLC and a lot of love! Home could be gorgeous if restored to its original state. Small cabin could possibly be used as a STR. The beautiful front door and lower cabinets in the kitchen came out of the old Maxwell House that was destroyed in 1961 in Nashville. DO NOT ENTER Until Active. Being sold as is.
