About This Home

As of June 2023

Once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire Franklin's most iconic property. The Higdon Estate, the gateway to downtown, is located on nearly 11 acres. The estate consists of the four bedroom Georgian style main house, a two bedroom carriage house, and a large multipurpose barn. All set on level to rolling pasture lands. The estate is located in Franklin's Neighborhood Mixed Use Zone which allows for multiple uses such as residential use, and commercial use including retail, offices, bed and breakfast, or a community housing development. The options are endless. Mountain properties are more popular than ever, as people crave an escape from city life and head to the mountains
