Petersburg, TN 37144 3138 Richmond Rd

Welcome to the "Moore Homestead" with nearly 3500ft of road frontage and a new 4 plank wood farm fence at the road. Built in the early 1820s by Captain William D. Moore for his wife, Hannah Leonard, shortly after their marriage in 1817, this residence remained in the Moore family for many generations. Steeped in history and tradition, the homestead offers a rare glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of the early 19th century. Two of the rooms in the original side portion have large stone fireplaces and are paneled with rich walnut. William Moore was a cabinet maker by trade and also a breeder of fine race horses, at one time there was a race track on the property. It was here that the famous horse Tom Hal paced, owned by William Yowell. A second story was added years later, by Thomas Moore who restored the residence and returned it to one of the most admired homes in Petersburg. The historical home needs some love to get it back to its original glory, it host approximately 3000sf featuring a parlor, formal dining room, butler's pantry/family dining room, 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, 10' ceilings and original floors. Gas fireplaces, 2 new HVAC units and ductwork have been installed for year round comfort. Exterior has recently been painted. Set about 900ft off the road and behind the main house lies a beautiful 1 bedroom open concept log cabin built in 2016.Cabin has full length front and rear porches to take in the beautiful views of open farmland, hills and wildlife. Property would be perfect for a wedding venue, an Air BNB, in-law quarters, older kids or living quarters for an on-site farm manager. Two barns, one dates back to the 1800's, very sturdy with a full sized loft that has so many possibilities...venue, photo shoots, events. The second barn is a much newer utility barn and is approximately 110'x125'. One great feature is the huge accessible creek for your lawn chairs or kayak! Would also be perfect for a hunting club!
