Notes from the listing agent

European-inspired luxury and timeless elegance best describe this extraordinary 17-acre French Provincial estate offering a rare blend of refined living, privacy, and limitless possibilities. Beyond stately brick-column gates, manicured grounds and a sweeping grand drive create an unforgettable first impression worthy of one of Northeast Tennessee's premier luxury residences. Perfectly positioned across from The Crossings Golf Course and backing to the fourth fairway, the estate captures sweeping views of the Tennessee hills while providing an exceptional golf-front lifestyle. Inspired by classic French gardens, the grounds feature a dramatic three-tier fountain, carved stone benches, mature landscaping, and multiple picturesque building sites. The expansive acreage also presents an outstanding opportunity for a luxury wedding venue, boutique winery, corporate retreat, private event destination, or a multigenerational family estate. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the residence showcases soaring 20-foot ceilings, exquisite custom millwork, ornate moldings, solid 4-inch oak flooring, and four sets of French doors that bathe the home in natural light. A stunning 16-foot Italian Carrara marble fireplace, framed by matching marble columns, serves as the centerpiece of the grand living room, while arched windows and a custom coffered ceiling add architectural distinction throughout. The chef's kitchen is both sophisticated and inviting, featuring rich cherry cabinetry, an impressive distressed French white island, quartz countertops and premium appliances. Elegant formal living spaces include a gracious dining room with tray ceiling and French doors, along with a distinguished executive office showcasing refined custom finishes. The luxurious main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with its own Carrara marble fireplace and spa-inspired bath. The lower level was thoughtfully designed for entertaining and creative pursuits. A spacious recreation room features a custom granite bar, handcrafted French cabinetry, billiards area, and abundant gathering space. Music enthusiasts, producers, podcasters, and content creators will appreciate the professionally designed recording studio, complete with a control room, vocal booth, acoustic soundproof ceiling, specialized wood acoustic treatments, and engineering space. This acclaimed studio has been the birthplace of Grammy-nominated recordings, offering an unparalleled opportunity for today's recording artists and creative professionals. Should your vision differ, the expansive space can easily be transformed into a private home theater, fitness center, guest suites, or additional living areas. The third-floor attic is climate-controlled and insulated with spray foam, offering abundant storage space or excellent potential for future expansion. Every detail throughout the home reflects meticulous craftsmanship with distinctive architectural finishes that create an atmosphere of understated elegance and livable luxury. Even the lower-level bath is a work of art, crafted with reclaimed wood from a historic spring house. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A covered terrace with a masonry fireplace and fully appointed outdoor kitchen provides the perfect setting for entertaining family and guests while overlooking the tranquil landscape and golf course beyond. Offering pristine condition, uncompromising quality, and an unmatched combination of luxury, lifestyle, and entrepreneurial potential, this remarkable estate is more than a home; it's a generational legacy property for those who recognize the value of exclusivity, craftsmanship, and enduring significance. Opportunities of this caliber are limited, and once secured, are rarely offered again. A place where timeless elegance truly meets the feeling that there's no place like home.
