A Bed and Breakfast, or Family Compound-This is The Place!

APtravelnews–June 24th,-Homestead, Crossville, TN.-If you are looking to change your life, consider the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. The weather with the 2,000 elevation is cooler in the summer. This property is located in the Historic Homestead area. This is a great property. Can be used as income property, family compound or turn it back to B & B. There is no restrictive zoning. Great location for an upscale restaurant. Small barn on property would also help make this a nice family farm.

The main home is a former bed and breakfast. “We loved the business but had to close it due to health issues about 10 years ago.” This home is listed on the National Register – only 17 listed in the State of Tennessee. Includes a 4700 sq. ft 5 bedroom 6 bath home (2 of bedrooms and baths are in separate apartments) plus a 1 bedroom home (remodeled from another barn) and an additional home. Crossville has been listed on the best places to retire and is called the “Golf Capital Of Tennessee”. It is a great tourist destination loaded with antique shops, flea markets, country fairs, etc.

The historic Bed and Breakfast can again be completely operational. The last few years, a new kitchen was installed. The cabinets are high end kraft-made cabinets, has commercial wiring that meets requirements for opening a restaurant. According to the owners;  “Last year we changed out the carpet for tile in the downstairs along with new windows. 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a dining room that seats 22, 3 (2 are in separate apartments) kitchens plus prep kitchen, etc. Also included in this sale is a 1 bedroom, 2 bath barn/carriage home with porch. 1600 sq ft 3 – bedroom 2 bath home with garage. The carriage home 1 bedroom, bath, living room, kitchen and large wrap-a-round screen porch. Additionally, there is a barn, workshop and another garage, two gazebos, several decks and porches and a million dollar, water-feature landscaped entrance. Located on beautiful landscaped 6.5 acres. This price is well below the appraised value. Contact bobandbarb@aptravelnews.com   Note* These retired folks are friends. We are trying to assist so they can retire elsewhere near their children!
