Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Russellville, Tennessee

Tons of History!

This house, known as Hayslope, is not what it appears at first glance. Beneath its 1900 Arts and Crafts exterior lies a 239-year-old log house, originally built in 1785 by James Roddye, a signer of the Tennessee Constitution and a Revolutionary War soldier.. Situated on 28 breathtaking acres, the property offers immense historical value and potential.

While the house requires a complete restoration, it has incredible promise. Significant demolition has already been completed, and the chimneys have been rebuilt. New logs have been cut to replace damaged ones. Inside, you'll find three fireplaces, original logs, exposed beams, antique flooring, and a wealth of original features perfect for restoration. A book has even been written about the home, offering invaluable insights for your research and restoration process.

The land itself is equally stunning, featuring native plants, mature trees, a spring, and sweeping views. As you walk the property, it's easy to imagine the encampment of General James Longstreet's soldiers during the Civil War; just one of the many stories attributed to the property.

The current owner is looking for someone dedicated to restoring the property while preserving the surrounding acreage. A letter of intent must accompany any offer.
