Once in Several Lifetimes does a place like this come to market, it has been passed down for generations. Nestled in the Nolichucky Valley with Spectacular Mtn Views. It has hardwood floors, ten foot ceilings, eight fireplaces and winter and summer kitchens. This Historic Home was built by the family of Jacob Brown one of the first settlers in the region. Jacob Brown bought this property from the Cherokees, Big Cherokee Creek runs through it. The 3500+ sqft brick home, mill and other buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. It s easy to imagine this property being the center of the community with the grist mill grinding flour and cornmeal and the store and post office meeting other needs of this community plus the farm growing grain, cattle and produce. All this only six miles from the First Town in Tennessee. If you would like to own/live/work in a piece of History contact us for more information and your private showing. More acreage available.
