Single Family Residence In Nashville

Tucked into almost an acre and a half of lush, tree-canopied land in East Nashville, this authentic log cabin is the kind of place people spend years searching for and rarely find — a soulful, one-of-a-kind retreat with a year-round creek, a chicken coop, and a stunning octagonal artist’s studio, all within minutes of the city’s best restaurants, coffee shops, and music venues.

The cabin itself, built in 1935, radiates warmth and character — hand-hewn logs, natural textures, and the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn’t built anymore. Whether you’re curling up by the fire after a long day or sipping morning coffee to the sound of the creek running through your backyard, this home offers a daily experience that no new construction can replicate.

Step outside and the magic only deepens. The year-round creek creates a living soundtrack to life here — peaceful, grounding, and utterly rare for an in-town property. Deer wander through at dusk. Wild turkeys make their unhurried rounds. Birds of every variety fill the canopy with sound from sunrise to sunset. The land doesn’t just sit there — it lives. A charming chicken coop and an octagonal artist’s studio round out the grounds, the latter a dedicated creative sanctuary with architecture as inspired as the work it’s meant to hold — perfect for painters, writers, musicians, potters, or anyone who needs a space apart from the world to create.

But here’s what makes this property truly extraordinary: the zoning allows for two additional structures. That means this isn’t just a home — it’s a canvas for something much larger. Build your dream custom residence on the land and let the cabin become a guest house, a short-term rental, or a writer’s retreat. Invite family to put down roots beside you. Create a multi-generational compound. Generate income while you plan your forever build. The possibilities here are genuinely rare, and the land supports all of it beautifully.
