Significant Estate on TN River
2620 Sycamore Landing Rd : Waverly, TN 37185
Humphreys County, Tennessee
Farm Description
Sycamore Farm & Orchard rests 1 hour and 15 minutes from Nashville and just 15 minutes north of Interstate 40 at exit 143.
This 198 acre estate is exclusively situated on a flowing upland terrace where Duck River joins with the Tennessee River after a 284 mile meander across middle Tennessee. It features two homes with approximately half of the land in upland forested ridge with the balance in open, gently undulating fenced pastures rolling underneath a landscape of well-established orchards: two 100 year old pecan trees, 200 peach trees, 400 apple trees, pear trees, grapes, muscadines, berries and varieties within every collection.
A Victorian home on the property originally built in 1890 is a special connection to a thriving historic river port that gave this site the name “Sycamore Landing” as it is still known today. The house frequently served as an inn for travelers and presently serves a similar role as a vacation rental, beautifully restored in 2014 by the current owners and featuring 3 bedrooms with 4 full bathrooms at 3,474 square feet.
From the highest point amongst a shade grove is a custom home with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms & 1 half bath. The 2,200 square foot interior features crisp modern design with upscale amenities. A second story master bedroom affords a spectacular view from behind a series of large glass doors that tie into a balcony: a beautiful and permanent scene of water stretching for two miles underneath the western skyline. The in-ground pool below beholds this beautiful setting as well.
A small detached building situated in between the house and barn is currently used as an office that would make a great converted guest suite with large windows and a pretty stone fireplace. The barn itself is has bay doors with plenty of room for equipment, vehicles & boats. Along with a small detached building currently used as an office, these spaces have potential for business operations with plenty of open space for future buildings. From the barn one can trailer a boat and have it on the water in minutes at a launch just a couple hundred yards down the hill, whereupon you enter the federally protected shoreline and waters of Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge spanning roughly 50,000 acres.
The beauty of this massive bend in the Tennessee River offers access to world-class fishing, rare bird watching opportunities, and miles of unique riverine ecology. In addition, the quick access to this public sphere allows you to take advantage of legally hunting deer and turkey on Usfws property in addition to your own.
