The front porch has been closed in to provide a sunroom which can be used for growing flowers or breakfast room which is a great place to observe Deer and watch the cars pass by. Security cameras are located on all sides of main house. Monitor is located in lady's office and can be monitored by security service if desired. Guest house could be used as mother-in-law cottage or for older child.
Property is very private even though it is located on boundary with City of Shelbyville on two sides. Property is located on North by cemetery, East by unimproved 14 acres available to purchase from different owner, South fronting on Tennessee Highway 64, and on West by apartment complex on other side of Bomar Creek. No City taxes. Property is located 50 miles Southeast of Nashville and 25 miles West of Murfreesboro. Property is not currently fenced but would make excellent farm for cattle and horses. Deer graze through this area.
Utilities include city water and county electricity. Bomar Creek runs through the property on West edge with small fish and providing water for deer. Deer are seen daily in groups of one to 14 or more. Trees are full of squirrels. Other animals include foxes, raccoons, opossums, turkeys and armadillos (most on the road). House is located on approximately 3 acres with various flowers and trees. 18 X 36 Swimming Pool with solar heater is surrounded by 4 ft high vinyl fence. Carport, patio, and swimming pool apron are coated with SunDek refinish made in 2018. Three water features are located off of the patio.
The driveway is fairly steep, but because it is facing directly South it has never been covered with snow sufficient to not drive up it. Concrete driveway and large parking area constructed in 2013 and PermaSeal added in 2022 with 25-year transferrable warranty. House is located approximately 300 feet from Highway on a slight rise which leads to Dogwoods, Redbuds, Pear, Faue Cherry trees and daffodils blooming in the Spring. Other trees include Sugar Maple, Magnolia, Water Maple, Japanese Maple, Pecan, Crape Myrtle, Walnut, Japanese Holley, and Pine.
The thirty acres has about seven acres of hardwood to the east of the house and back to the cemetery. A trail leads to the rear of the property between the hardwood and approximately three acres of pine trees. Another trail through the hardwood is now grown over but can easily be cleared for a picnic area under the hickory trees. A rock fence from many years ago is in the middle of cedars and other trees in the adjoining 17+ acres. An open gracing area is in the middle of these acres. Currently this is limited to the deer, but they graze happily with cattle. A culvert under the highway allows the deer to pass through in the creek to the not too far away Duck River on the other side of the highway. Of course, the deer circle the property and cautiously cross the road while being observed from the sunroom. Sadly, you will occasionally see one that didn't make it across.
Watching a turkey lead her chicks across the lawn to the open field is exciting. When a doe first brings her baby to the yard in June is a similarly exciting. The mother skunk with her babies on her back heading to a new home is mixed emotions.
The property is an excellent private place to enjoy nature, raise cattle and horses, and raise a family with immediate access to the small town and reasonable distance to the big cities.
