Single Family Residence In Fayetteville

Behind a Colonial Revival front porch, the Thomison House opens into a central hall with tall ceilings, set within walls of brick fired on site from local clay. This circa 1840 Federal style home offers 3,186 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, set on 47.64 acres off Duck Branch Rd in Lincoln County, Tennessee. A newer roof, replacement windows and updated HVAC bring the major systems up to date. Seven fireplaces invite you to gather, from the dining room with its original built in cabinet to the kitchen with its cobblestone floor, all beneath hand hewn beams that still carry the shape of the trees they came from. Family tradition holds that the house served as a field hospital during the Civil War, and the original spring house and smokehouse still stand, with the spring still running. The land is just as inviting, with cleared pasture, two ponds, a cedar post barn and a detached building perfect for a studio or entertaining space. The pasture can be re-leased to a local horse breeder, and the home’s years as a bed and breakfast give it a hospitality history for anyone with a retreat or guest house in mind. Lynchburg is under ten minutes away, Tims Ford Lake is about 30 minutes, and the Jack Daniel’s warehouses sit just one hollow over, close enough that mash from the distillery once fed cattle on this very farm. More than 180 years of families, crops and cattle have shaped this historic farm, and the pasture, ponds and barn are ready for horses, cattle or a homeplace of your own.
