What makes this house unique
Our 22 acres borders the Daniel Boone National Forest and is relatively quiet and secluded. Surrounded by the woods, you will not see another house, car or person here. As we to have to share the forest, you may hear the occasional machinery or dragstrip noise especially on weekend nights but for the most part, it is more peaceful and serene. We have always loved living here! This is a no-smoking permitted home. Smoking is permitted outdoors only, ashtrays are provided (under the kitchen sink.)
