ONSITE & ONLINE AUCTION SEPTEMBER 12TH AT 10 AM! Rare opportunity at 5520 Academy Rd in one of Putnam County’s most desirable locations, convenient to Cookeville and I-40. Offered in two tracts with the opportunity to buy one or both for a total of 7+ acres.
Tract 1 features a 2,500± sq ft home ready for cosmetic finishes, with a full-length covered porch, concrete-walled lower level, and spacious primary suite with its own exterior entrance. Improvements include a huge detached shop with RV hookups and 220-volt welding connection, automatic entrance gates, large gravel parking area, new tankless water heater, and recently serviced high-capacity septic system.
Tract 2 offers nearly 6 acres with an approximately one-acre stocked pond and walking trail, large livestock barn, fenced pastures, extensive fencing, and an active groundwater well. Established improvements include 19 fruit trees with apple, pear, peach, apricot, plum, and cherry varieties; berry bushes; eight fenced raised garden beds; mature nut trees; and a composting station.
Together, the tracts create an established mini-farm or homestead with possibilities for livestock, gardening, recreation, equipment storage, or a private country retreat. The shop, gated access, and gravel parking also offer flexibility for a contractor or equipment-based business.
