About 6861 Arno Allisona Rd
This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath 2200+ sq ft ranch home with an office on 5 acres blends rustic style with modern comfort. Originally built in 1959 as a two-bedroom, one-bath home, it was expanded in 2000 with a spacious primary suite, a full new roof, and the addition of wide board siding with hand-finished chinking—capturing timeless cabin appeal with the strength of traditional framing. A large, welcoming front porch is perfect for rocking chairs and a swing and offers peaceful views of the grounds and pastures.
The spacious family room has a gas fireplace and opens to the kitchen and dining room. French doors in the dining room lead to the large screened porch and deck overlooking the backyard. The kitchen was remodeled in 2019 with custom cherry cabinets built by the homeowner, quartz countertops, and a subway tile backsplash. The primary suite features a gas log fireplace, sitting area with vaulted ceiling, and a large bathroom with vaulted ceiling, a clawfoot tub and roomy shower. Bedrooms two and three are located on the opposite side of the home and share a hall bath (updated 2013).
Outbuildings include a Chestnut-planked tobacco barn built in the late 1800s with stalls, tack area, electricity, and water; a 30×60 detached garage/shop (built in 2004) wired for 120V and 220V with four 12-foot-wide garage doors (three on the front, one on the end), concrete floor, aluminum roof, and fluorescent lighting; a 47×16 open-air equipment shed; and a carport with attached shed for lawn equipment. Two wells serve the property—one spring-fed for the barn and one near the home for gardening.
Previously an active alpaca farm, this property is ideal for horses, alpacas, sheep, goats, or other livestock and offers the perfect blend of functionality, history, and peaceful country living—an ideal homestead just a short drive to Franklin, Nolensville, Nashville and all that Middle Tennessee has to offer.
