Happy Travel Tuesday! This week we’re crossing state lines up into the stunning mountains of Tennessee. As home to the United States’ most-visited National Park – the Great Smokey Mountains – as well as the birthplace of blues and the capital of country music, it’s no wonder that tourists and homebuyers alike are flocking to the Volunteer State.
This palatial 19+/- acre Mediterranean estate is located at 153 Jamestown Drive, and overlooks the main channel of Boone Lake. Enter through custom wrought-iron gates onto manicured grounds that are bordered by natural, wooded privacy. This home is situated at a bend in the lake, amplifying the view from the back windows into a perfectly panoramic vista.
As you enter through the home’s main entrance, you’ll feel as if you’re being transported to another time and place. A masterpiece of timeless Neoclassical architecture, the 42-foot high masonry foyer with broad, majestic columns is reminiscent of the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
Designed for entertaining, the home offers 17,000+/- square feet of living space, and 3,000+/- square feet of covered lanais and balconies, completely covering the side of the home facing the water.
The gourmet kitchen is exquisite and offers a wide range of luxury appliances and upgrades. Just off the main kitchen is a separate scullery kitchen, perfect for food prep or dishwashing out of sight from any entertaining. The kitchen opens directly into a sitting room with a wet bar, which guides you directly onto an expansive covered balcony overlooking the lake.
The master wing is complete with his and her separate bathrooms and a sitting area with a coffee bar. A covered balcony and TV installation that folds up into the ceiling make this uniquely finished suite a welcome retreat.
Old world detailing continues in a stunning office with wood paneled walls and a coffered ceiling. Other fabulous amenities include a massive dock, a tiki hut bar, a custom stone pool area, an elevator to all floors, six garage bays and much more. Schedule a showing to experience an idyllic combination of elegance and comfort.
