A Rare Opportunity for Panoramic Cumberland River Valley Views, Privacy & Income Potential - Spectacular panoramic views, privacy, acreage, and proven vacation-rental potential come together in this distinctive Cumberland River Valley retreat. Perched above the valley, the property offers expansive views of the Cumberland River Valley and the city beyond—vistas of this scope and elevation are exceptionally rare in the area.
Set on over two private acres, the property offers a peaceful and secluded setting while providing plenty of room for outdoor enjoyment, recreation, and entertaining. A long, private paved driveway adds to the sense of privacy and creates a beautiful approach to the home.
Inside, the thoughtfully renovated kitchen and dining area feature custom hickory cabinetry, a center island, hardwood flooring, and modern appliances. The adjoining family room showcases large windows that fill the space with natural light while taking full advantage of the spectacular surrounding views.
The home offers three-four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, plus a spacious den/rec room that provides additional flexible living and entertaining space. Additional features include a finished basement area, attached two-car garage, and a detached four-bay open storage/parking building for boats, recreational equipment, vehicles, and outdoor gear.
Beyond its appeal as a private residence or second home, the property has an established short-term rental history on Airbnb and VRBO drawing boaters, golfers, and fisherman to the Dale Hollow Lake area. The rental has already demonstrated strong guest appeal with a 5-star guest review rating and documented rental performance.
Whether you're looking for a private residence, vacation getaway, lake-area retreat, or income-producing property, this home offers a rare combination of exceptional views, privacy, acreage, flexible living space, and established rental potential—a combination seldom available in the region.
