Description
Experience timeless Southern living on nearly eight private acres in this modern-rustic estate atop Monteagle mountain. Located in Cooley’s Rift—the newest gated community near the University of the South—this home offers panoramic views, hiking trails, and access to the 56-acre Lake Louisa. The exterior features striking rustic rough-sawn wood beams and live-edge siding that blend into the landscape. Built for superior efficiency, the home utilizes 2x6 exterior walls with extra insulation, a tankless water heater, and rare dedicated natural gas service, providing a significant advantage over typical area propane. The interior is defined by soaring glass windows and vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove wood and rough-sawn timbers. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen boasts a 48" Cafe gas range, a custom rift-sawn oak island with dual dishwashers, and a water filter. An adjacent walk-in pantry offers room for prep and a second fridge. For hosting, enjoy a bar nook with a wine fridge and a four-season patio room featuring a Tennessee fieldstone fireplace. The main level features a serene primary suite with a 67” soaking tub and Elfa shelving, plus two additional ensuite bedrooms and a dedicated office. A mudroom with a large built-in bench and an oversized 2-car garage keep daily life organized. Upstairs, a massive bonus room and a fourth ensuite bedroom provide the perfect space for a bunk room or guest wing. Outdoor living is exceptional with a large, flat backyard—a mountain rarity—featuring a patio, fire pit, and landscape lighting designed for star viewing. The septic system is already permitted for a 5th bedroom, allowing for a future guest cabin or pool house. Complete with 1-Gig fiber and a whole-house vacuum, this estate is a perfect balance of mountain beauty and modern tech.
