Land with Home for Sale in Dayton, Tennessee

At 250 Spivey Road, nearly seventy acres of pasture and orchard open on either side of the drive and rise toward a wooded bluff that catches the last of the afternoon light. This is a SE Tennessee estate in the fullest sense, with a 2017 built residence, a private guest house, a pool and screened porch, and a bluff overlooking all of it, minutes from Dayton and an easy drive from Chattanooga.

The approx 4k sq ft main residence was designed around ease. High ceilings rise above wood floors, the rooms open gracefully into one another, and the living room gathers around a fireplace framed by built-in shelves. The eat-in kitchen, with a gas range and double oven, is built for holiday dinners and Sunday suppers that run long past dark. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a bath with a double vanity, and four additional bedrooms leave room for guests, a study, or a studio. Summer belongs to the screened porch and the pool just beyond it.

The guest house gives visitors their own front door, with about 1,000 sq ft on the main level, one bedroom, and one bath. Beneath it, a full heated and cooled cellar opens into a game room, media room, or proper wine cellar.

Beyond the house, open pasture gives way to meadow, and the barn stands ready for horses or a hobby farm. The orchards bloom each spring, the garden sits close at hand, and a gravel path climbs to the bluff, where the whole estate lies open below. River privileges add days on the water, and a three-car garage completes the property.

Dayton sits along Chickamauga Lake, near the waterfalls of Laurel-Snow State Natural Area. Mark Anton Airport, minutes away, offers a 5,000-foot lighted runway, Jet A fuel, and hangar space. Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is about 45 minutes south, and Nashville and Atlanta are each within a few hours. For those considering relocation, Tennessee has no state income tax on wages.
