About this home

For more than a century, this home has been part of Polk County's story. Now, it's ready to be part of yours. Built in 1916, this stately Victorian was once the centerpiece of a 600-acre cattle farm and has spent more than a century evolving from a cherished family home to a bed and breakfast, a successful Airbnb, and once again a private residence. Offering 2,494 square feet, this home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, fire place and spacious covered porches invite you to slow down and enjoy the view. The outdoor patio with a custom brick oven sets the stage for memorable gatherings. Set on 3.75 irelevel acres, nearly half wooded, with Pell Creek forming the rear boundary, the setting offers both privacy and natural beauty. Conveniently located just off Highway 411 in Benton, you're minutes from the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers, Chilhowee Mountain, and the Cherokee National Forest, placing rafting, fishing, hiking, and endless outdoor recreation. Whether you're searching for a distinctive primary residence, a weekend retreat, or a property with hospitality potential, this historic home offers a rare opportunity to write the next chapter of its remarkable story.
