About This Home
Tucked right into the heart of the University of the South campus, this charming cottage offers a rare chance to own a piece of Sewanee’s storied landscape. Located on an oversized lot and zoned for commercial mixed use, this home offers many possibilities for creative owners. Additionally the home has an excellent short- and long-term rental history. Completely renovated in 2022, it radiates charm, blending its cozy footprint with the incredible outdoor access that makes Sewanee so special. A large outbuilding outfitted with electricity provides ample storage, potential studio, workshop or office possibilities. It’s not just a property; it’s a front-row seat to the culture, trails, and unique spirit of the Mountain. Step out the back door and you are immediately on the historic Mountain Goat Trail. This paved path winds through the forest, offering miles of scenic beauty for morning jogs or sunset strolls. When it’s time to grab a bite or catch up with friends, you’re just a 10 minute walk to Michelin awarded restaurants Judith's Tavern and Lunch as well as Blue Chair, Shenanigans, local shops and campus.
