Hills Dale Farm was built in the days just prior to the civil war in 1860 and aptly named as the home is located in a picturesque valley surrounded by the hills of Elk Ridge in the south western part of Maury County. The home boasts the clean precise lines of a home that portrays the ideal of the true Tennessee plantation home. The main house is a traditional frame building with two formal rooms downstairs and two upstairs on either side of a central hall. The current kitchen is located off the dining room with what was originally the nursery above extending off the back creating the typical L shape of the period. This was a popular antebellum architectural style combining a central porch, Juliet balcony, two-story columns, and the timeless symmetry of Greek Revival.

A welcoming Entry Hall features a wide flowing staircase with hand worked railings while raised panel wainscoting enhance the walls and ascend the staircase. Wide ash floors add refinement to the main level formal rooms as wide plank poplar floors grace the two largest bedrooms above the receiving rooms below. To each side of the entry are the formal entertaining rooms. The bright and sunny dining room is to the left and is complimented by a large fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. Off the dining room is the large country kitchen, shown off by brick flooring, original exposed beams, and a large cooking fireplace leading into what could be the family areas, but is currently an additional bedroom and full bath. The parlor beckons to the right of the entry where the twelve foot ceilings soar above and equally tall windows allow southern breezes and abundant light to stream into the large open room. A large fireplace is also an outstanding feature of the parlor. Wide woodwork surrounds each of the original rooms.
Exceptional home nestled on 157 acres of rich Tennessee farmland with additional features including a lake, several ponds, abundant springs, and 6 stall stable. This diverse property presents endless possibilities and potential.
