Historic Farm on the Harpeth River

Time seems to slows down as you take the country road that dead ends into the 106 acre Percy Harris Farm and the Harpeth River.

While updated, the 1412 square foot farmhouse maintains it original simplicity and character, a hand-dug cistern that provided "running water" for washing clothes still sits in the corner of the washroom, and the old dinner bell and historic cast-iron scalding cauldron are reminders of simpler times. The hand-hewn log barn reveals a history in the carvings on the doors, which read the years 1929-36.

The view off the screened porch gives a panoramic view of rich farmland, long used for raising corn, livestock and horses.

The property is bordered by 3500 +/- feet of Harpeth River frontage and has two ponds.
