HAND-HEWN LOG HOME BUILT IN 1979 ON 41+/- ACRES! This was the country home of writer/photographer Bob Harrell and his wife, Katherine. He wrote for the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and Dateline Georgia for decades. The property has a four acre vineyard of 40 year old muscadine grape vines (five varieties) and approximately 30 mature, 40 year old, producing blueberry bushes with multiple varieties, another one of the Harrell's passions. The family would make wine and sell the grapes during the Powers Crossroads Festival and to the public, friends, and family other times. There is also a small spring-fed pond on the property. Gorgeous logs form this two-story, three bedroom (smaller room could be 4th bedroom or office), two bathroom home with stone and brick chimneys, four fireplaces and a metal roof. The chinking between the logs is mesh/insulation and concrete. Walk across the large front porch to the front door, into a huge family room. See the exposed ceiling beams, fireplace, and pine timber flooring throughout. Adjoining is the country kitchen with gas cooktop and an electric cast-iron oven set in the brick fireplace. Open the side door onto the screened porch with a fantastic view overlooking the vineyard. There is a full bath on the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, 4th small bedroom or office, one full bath, and attic stairs to a large storage area. An attic fan brings in the breeze. There is one log outbuilding (16'x18') with utilities, concrete floor, and a metal roof. There are two other large pole barns with loft storage, 24'x70' and 24'x47'. The property has two drilled wells, the second needs a new pump. While the Harrells never had central HVAC, they made do with gas space heaters, the fireplaces, attic fan, and AC window units. The land fronts Thomas Powers Road as well as Franklin Highway. The property is not in Conservation Use designation and the two western tracts (10+ acres) are zoned commercial.
