About This Home

A once-in-a-generation trophy estate set on 22 private acres in one of the most beautiful and convenient valley corridors of Greater Chattanooga, surrounded by large farm estates and impeccably manicured grounds--featuring a 9,800 sq ft residence and an extraordinary 12,000 sq ft man cave designed to showcase an exceptional automobile collection. Approached by a magnolia-lined drive behind custom metal gates, this private compound sits on expansive, flat, fully usable land--an increasingly rare offering in the region. The 9,800 sq ft main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 9 baths with reclaimed hardwood floors, stone columns, and multiple fireplaces, including a private primary suite with heated marble bath floors. Designed for refined living and entertaining, the home features a formal dining room with glass tray ceiling and chandeliers, a chef's kitchen with granite and quartz counters, oversized island, wine cellar, butler's pantry, mini bar and ice machine, plus a media room with full bar and a study with built-ins and fireplace. Whole-house sound, Lutron smart system, central vacuum, and leak detection provide modern convenience. Outdoor living rivals a private resort with an expansive pool featuring sun shelves, fountains, spa and fire bowls, a screened outdoor kitchen with stone fireplace and TV, gas lanterns, putting green, fire pit, and temperature-controlled pool house. The 12,000 sq ft man cave offers gallery-style space capable of housing an extensive automobile collection, plus gym, office, kitchenette, bars, golf simulator and lounge space for entertaining. Additional improvements include a four-car garage with guest quarters, temperature-controlled barn, kennel and RV building, full fencing with stone pillars and gates, generator, well and city water, propane and oversized septic.
