$449,000 - 12159 Cookeville Boat Dock Rd, Baxter

Timeless craftsmanship and modern comfort meet in this remarkable 2,444 sq ft log home, originally built from two authentic mid-1800s log cabins relocated from Kentucky and thoughtfully reconstructed in 2006. Rich in history and character, the home blends true rustic charm with modern conveniences. The exterior features upgraded Poly-Crete chinking with natural quartz aggregate, providing a self-leveling finish that resists cracking, improves durability, and adds additional insulation. A sandstone rocking chair front porch welcomes you home, complemented by a screened-in porch and a heated and cooled sunroom with four sliding doors for year-round enjoyment. Inside, rustic finishes and the romantic fireplace create warmth and charm, while updated plumbing, electrical, and central heat and air ensure comfort. The main-floor bathroom features stone tile floors and a beautiful antique clawfoot tub. Situated on two parcels totaling nearly 14 acres, the property offers privacy, open space, and hunting potential. A circular concrete driveway adds convenience, and a horse barn plus enclosed storage under the deck provide functionality. Behind the home, a small spring-fed creek flows toward Center Hill Lake, creating a peaceful soundtrack you can hear from the back deck or sunroom. In summer, a cool breeze rises from the lake, making outdoor evenings especially enjoyable. Located about one mile from Cookeville Boat Dock and Marina with boat ramp access, just 20 minutes to Cookeville and approximately one hour to the airport, this home offers seclusion without isolation. Set well off the road with plenty of yard space for children to play, it’s ideal as a family home, private retreat, or inspiring getaway for writers, musicians, hunters, and lake lovers alike.
