    What's special

    Sprawling wrap-around porchStacked-stone gas fireplaceStainless steel appliancesTiled backsplashLarge open yard
    While standard lakefront properties routinely force you to compromise on yard space, parking, and privacy, this spectacular executive estate shatters the mold and is offered fully furnished for an absolute turn-key transition. Situated on an exceptionally rare 8.28-acre private point that directly adjoins the Army Corps of Engineers land, this completely renovated 4-bedroom, 4-full-bath, and 2-half-bath home offers a level of absolute seclusion that is virtually impossible to replicate on Center Hill Lake. From the house, you cannot see a single neighboring home. Living here is truly like owning your own private state park, surrounded by panoramic water and mountain views that will take your breath away. What makes this property truly extraordinary—and completely unique among lake lots—is the abundance of usable land. The estate boasts a large, open yard and an exceptional amount of flat parking space, easily accommodating multiple vehicles, trailers, or guest parking. For nature lovers, rare and beautiful walking and hiking trails wind directly through your own mature woods and down to the shoreline, giving you unparalleled, direct lake access right from your back door. The inside of the 3,475 sq. ft. home perfectly mirrors the grandeur of its surroundings. A sprawling wrap-around porch and a beautiful veranda overlook the water, seamlessly connecting the outdoor paradise to a premium interior. The home features exposed, raw cut timber beams, 3/4-inch Acacia hardwood flooring, a stacked-stone gas fireplace, and a kitchen equipped with granite countertops, a tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Every bathroom is elegantly finished with granite vanities and custom tile work, including a highly convenient half-bath located inside the oversized 3-car garage. Adding to its incredible versatility, the home includes a private loft that serves as an excellent extra sleeping space, plus a dedicated office/game room setup. Despite its profound seclusion, the property keeps you perfectly connected and accessible. It is already fully wired for 1G Fiber Optic high-speed internet, located just minutes from Cookeville Boat Dock Marina, and only 10 miles from the Cookeville city limits and I-40. Whether you are seeking a generational family retreat, an elite nature lover's paradise, or a premier investment asset, words simply cannot describe the magnitude of this secluded treasure. Key Features Bulletin (For Quick Reading): • Unmatched Acreage & Privacy: 8.5 private acres on an exclusive point adjoining the Corps of Engineers. Complete, total seclusion with zero visible neighbors. • Irreplaceable Lot & Parking: A large, open yard and expansive flat parking areas—an extraordinary rarity for lakefront topography. • Direct Lake Access: Private, custom walking and hiking trails that lead straight through your property to the water. • Breathtaking Views: Panoramic Center Hill Lake and mountain views from the sprawling wrap-around porch and scenic veranda. • Executive Interior: 4 Bedrooms, 4 Full Baths, 2 Half Baths, Acacia hardwoods, stone fireplace, and granite finishes. • Modern Infrastructure: 1G Fiber Optic high-speed internet and an attached 3-car garage. • Upgraded Infrastructure: New water line fully installed in 2023 from the meter 1,000 feet away. • Premium Location: Just minutes to Cookeville Boat Dock Marina, 10 miles to Cookeville city limits, and less than 10 miles to I-40.

    What the owner loves about this home
    This property still takes our breath away every time we pull down the driveway. We fully intended to make this our forever primary home, but life had other plans and guided us in a different direction. While we couldn't move in full-time, it has served as a successful and beloved short-term rental for us. Words truly cannot capture how special this piece of Center Hill Lake is.
