6960 Franklin Rd

Ten and a half wooded acres just off I-40, and a real log cabin sitting on it. That combination has gotten hard to find in Wilson County. The home sits back off Franklin Road behind a stand of mature trees, so it feels tucked away and private, but you're still a quick drive from Lebanon's square, Providence, and the interstate. Inside, it's got character you can't fake. Vaulted ceilings, warm wood everywhere you look, and a great room wrapped in windows. The kitchen's done in granite, the covered porch runs the length of the house and was made for slow mornings, and the primary bath even has a jetted tub to sink into at the end of the day. Downstairs, the finished lower level gives you room for an office, a den, or a rec room. Behind the scenes, this one's been well cared for. Two HVAC systems, both replaced within the last several years, and a whole-home Generac generator on natural gas, so you never lose power out here. There's a detached outbuilding for a workshop or storage, plus rainwater collection feeding a gravity spigot down the hill. The land is the real draw. Around ten acres, freshly cleared and ready to enjoy, with apple trees and blueberry bushes already established, room to garden, roam, put up a barn, or just sit in the quiet. Move in as-is, make it your own, or hold the acreage and let it appreciate. For families, the schools carry weight. This one's zoned for Gladeville Elementary and Gladeville Middle, both rated 8 out of 10, feeding into Wilson Central High, a B-plus school graduating 92% of its students. And with Wilson County among the fastest-growing in the state, land like this only gets harder to come by. A log home on real acreage, this close to the interstate, with this much you can do with it: that's rare. Whether you're after quiet country living, a weekend place, or a smart long-term hold, 6960 Franklin Road is worth seeing for yourself. Come walk it and you'll get it.
