Property Description
ONE PROPERTY. MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES. Historic residence, event venue, equestrian operation, guest accommodations, and rental opportunities, the versatility of this estate sets it apart. At its heart is The Denton, a stately Colonial Revival residence featuring a four column facade and Juliet balcony. Inside, original oak hardwood floors, custom woodwork, full length wood-framed windows, formal sitting and dining rooms, and a richly paneled room showcase the home's character. The spacious kitchen offers room for gatherings, while the primary suite features a distinctive hammered copper soaking tub. The main residence includes 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths. Beyond the main home, two separate two bedroom cottages offer guest or rental potential. A separate office building with an upstairs apartment provides flexible space for business operations, lodging, or rental use. A SETTING WITH A HISTORY OF CELEBRATION. The Denton has hosted weddings and special events, with the residence, grounds, cottages, and lake providing multiple spaces for an event or hospitality concept. Equestrian improvements include a 24 stall barn, 10 stall barn/breeding facility, oval training track, and additional training areas formerly used in a Tennessee Walking Horse operation. The existing infrastructure may also lend itself to other equine related uses, including equine assisted services. A 7 acre stocked lake, workshop, implement sheds, and extensive equipment storage add even more versatility. Historic estate, equestrian facility, event venue, hospitality concept, or income producing property, The Denton offers the opportunity to make its next chapter your own. Commercial, event, rental, equine assisted services, and other uses are subject to applicable zoning, permitting, licensing, and governmental approval. Buyer to verify intended use.
