Welcome to The Retreat on Lookouta rare opportunity spanning 47+ private acres with three waterfalls, a custom-built log home, and a landscape that feels untouched by time.

When you arrive, a massive deck welcomes you with an 8' x 16' swim spa overlooking the gorge, with mountain and ridge views stretching all the way to Nashville. Inside, polished wood floors lead to a breathtaking 30-foot master suite beneath skylights on the upper levellarge enough to comfortably sleep six. The main level includes another queen bedroom with private bath, laundry closet, and serene views of the gorge. A stone fireplace built from rock taken directly from the property by a local craftsman adds rustic warmth, while a restored 1920s range brings history and character to the heart of the home.
