About This Home

As of March 2025

SPRING HOLLOW-A special 148-acre hideout, tucked away on the south side of Tobacco Row Mountains with protected views and unobstructed privacy, this unique property offers peace and tranquility while being completely isolated from the outside world. The home, situated on a three-acre lake, was originally a log cabin built in 1785. Its sister addition was built in 2009 and the two are connected together with a hallway in the rear and a full porch across the front. It's a wonderful blend of old and new with quality finishes, while a simple authentic character is maintained throughout the home. Plenty of sleeping spaces and four full bathrooms give many options for creating your personal retreat. Improvements include a rock walled and covered outdoor living area with fireplace and grill, large barn, boathouse and deck, and smoke house. Plentiful hiking and riding trails in your own private valley.
