$2,400,000
Welcome to Bella Rose Estate! This historic home, courtyard garden, barn with stables, and fenced pasture are all nestled on 7 acres of peaceful wooded Tennessee countryside, yet within just an 18-minute drive to downtown Nashville.
The current owner has used the home as a successful short- term rental Airbnb property, catering primarily to guests seeking a peaceful retreat, a romantic getaway, or a wedding and event venue. It would also be ideal as a private family homestead.
Originally built in 1802, and lovingly expanded over time, the home was once part of a 1,500-acre working plantation and later a Stagecoach Inn, said to have once hosted Jesse James.
Use the property as the current owner has, as a peaceful retreat, or build or build on the additional lot.
A slice of tranquil Middle Tennessee serenity! The grand columned front porch evokes the home's historic past, and the incredible view across the gently rolling wooded hillside is simply breathtaking.
Lore handed down through the property's owners says it was visited by both Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Walking the grounds of the gorgeous property, the sense of history is palpable.
The acreage across the road is a nature preserve, designated to remain as it is -- scenic lush greenery in Spring and Summer, and glorious Fall color in Autumn.
The sophisticated interior of the home has been beautifully updated with stylish modern comforts, yet with authentic nods to the character and charm of the home's historic past.
The gourmet French-inspired kitchen is graced with marble flooring, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a stunning stained-glass light fixture. The countertop overhang at the center island provides a bar seating area.
Glass-fronted upper cabinets and the wide farmhouse sink add timeless charm. All kitchen appliances, including the three-door refrigerator / freezer, remain with the home.
There's ample cabinet storage and plenty of countertop workspace to prepare meals for your largest dinner party, a cozy family holiday meal, or a group of visitors gathered for a lively event.
With wide windows on two sides, the kitchen enjoys a lovely view of the property's gorgeous sun-dappled country garden.
The farmhouse sink and antique-style fixtures add rustic charm. The stained-glass pendant light above the sink echoes the kitchen's other light fixtures.
The spacious and open kitchen has everything the home chef could need.
One of the eat-in kitchen's many fabulous features is its openness to the adjacent sun room.
Open up all of the French doors between the kitchen and sunroom to create the perfect relaxed set of living spaces that connect the interior with the outdoors.
The sunroom is simply spectacular! Enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding property in any weather, protected from the elements yet connected to the trees, garden paths, songbirds, and the breeze through the window screens.
The wicker sunroom swing is the perfect spot to read, enjoy a cup of coffee, take in the peaceful view, or curl up for a restful afternoon doze.
Throughout the home, reclaimed wood from other buildings that formerly existed within the grounds of the plantation have been used, carrying the past into the present. The wood- paneled ceiling on the sunroom is made from such reclaimed wood.
This home is truly unique -- historic significance meets modern comfort, all tucked away on 21 acres of peace and quiet -- yet, it's less than 20 minutes to all the attractions and culture offered by downtown Nashville.
The sunroom is such a beautiful spot to begin your day with coffee, sunshine, and the hummingbirds darting outside, or slow down at the end of the day with a glass of wine and the sound of the crickets.
The current owner has aimed to harmonize the home's furnishings with its historic past, creating a romantic setting that feels a bit like a step back in time. The spaces would be equally beautiful with contemporary decor choices.
View of the master bedroom suite, featuring hardwood flooring, an electric fireplace, charming wall and ceiling paneling constructed of reclaimed wood, and and elegant chandelier with graceful medallion mounting.
Elegance abounds in the master bathroom, where a claw- footed tub is tucked behind French doors and adorned with a stained-glass window.
A luxurious spot for an indulgent soak!
Another view of the claw-foot tub with antique-inspired fixtures and decor accents.
The elegant 2nd bedroom on the main floor features hardwood flooring, a ten-foot ceiling, a crystal light fixture, reclaimed- wood paneling, and a walk-in closet.
The current use of the home as a popular short-term rental property seems fitting, considering its historic roots as a Stagecoach Inn during the 1800s.
View of the charming second full bathroom, with pedestal sink, tile flooring, and antique-inspired oil-rubbed-bronze fixtures.
The grand living room, part of the home's original 1802 construction, definitely has the WOW factor. Wide and spacious, it features hardwood flooring, reclaimed-wood panels, and a Palladian transom window above the front entrance.
The pewter chandelier, made with over 1,400 Austrian crystals, is a family heirloom and is not included with the sale (but the owner may consider). The same is true of the 1928 Baby Grand piano in the corner.
All furniture has been selected to reflect the home's two centuries of history, and has been part of the appeal of the site as a location for weddings, events, and romantic getaways. All furniture is negotiable.
This versatile space, currently used by the owner as a home office, would work well as bonus room, den, playroom, or study.
View of Bedroom #3, with private full bathroom and two large closets.
View of the home's third full bathroom.
Bedroom #4 is very spacious -- currently featuring two double beds plus a set of bunkbeds.
The fourth bedroom also includes a remote-operated electric fireplace, for cozy evening ambiance.
The home also includes a beautifully-appointed laundry room with sink, granite countertop, storage cabinets, and washer/dryer.
There is ample storage space throughout -- including these two wide closets and built-in cabinets in the hallway to the laundry room.
Step outside for a true sense of what makes this property so special! Lovingly tended, the yard is reminiscent of an English garden, shaded by mature trees.
When you come to view the home, allow plenty of time to walk around the grounds so you can take in all that this property have to offer.
Behind the home is this lovely brick and river stone patio seating area, flanked by two majestic trees draped with ivy.
Continue on the terra-cotta tile walkway through the arbor to another patio garden area, enclosed with a charming white picket fence.
Peaceful, serene spaces can be found throughout the garden.
At the low red wall to the left are stairs leading to an approximately 3,200-square-foot unfinished basement space -- a huge area for additional storage, or use it as a workshop.
The charming picket fencing, perimeter landscape beds, and shade from the storybook tree in the center of the yard creates a picturesque garden setting.
Continue through the yard to this dreamlike part of the garden, where lush greenery fills the stone-ringed planter beds.
The property has been a popular short-term rental, often attracting renters seeking a romantic getaway, a family reunion, or even a small-group wedding or event space.
Continue through the yard up the gently sloping hill to the picturesque 100-year old Dutch barn.
With an adjacent enclosure for horses, goats, cattle, or other livestock, there are two stables inside the barn, room to add more, and an upper level for storage.
The barn, built in the 1920s, would also work well for a shop for a car enthusiast, woodworker, or other home hobbyist.
Within the fenced portion of the property, you'll also find this storage shed, ideal for keeping yard tools and equipment.
