Land with Home for Sale in Gainesboro, Tennessee
460 Mate Allen Rd, Gainesboro, TN 38562
Experience Unmatched Scenic Luxury & Deep Tennessee Heritage for $634,000!
Perched high on a ridge offering breathtaking, endless mountain views stretching all the way toward the Kentucky border, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2,144 sq. ft. rustic sanctuary offers a truly rare living experience. Situated on 15.04 expansive, private acres of rolling Tennessee hills, this custom 2001-built estate effortlessly marries modern homestead amenities with irreplaceable historical character.
The property boasts an incredibly versatile layout featuring a private guest house—perfect for multi-generational living or a premium rental income stream—and a beautiful screened porch designed to take full advantage of the panoramic vistas and peaceful valley breezes.
Long before the current homes were built, this acreage was a vital historic crossroads. Step outside to explore your own private living museum: an authentic, beautifully preserved 19th-century wagon trail runs directly through the property, marked at the modern driveway entrance by a monumental, hand-carved pioneer limestone boundary and horse-hitching stone. Venture further down into the thick, mature woods to discover a fascinating piece of local folklore—the completely undisturbed remnants of an old Appalachian moonshine still, complete with its vintage barrel and vehicle radiator condenser quietly waiting in the hollow.
Whether you are enjoying the views from the main estate, capitalizing on the guest house, or tracking history across your 15 acres, this property isn't just a place to live—it is a piece of Tennessee history to be owned.
