5 Pastoral Estates and Riverfront Acreage in Kentucky and Tennessee

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across Kentucky and Tennessee, this quintet reads less like a lineup of houses and more like a study in privacy, acreage, and water-led scenery. From an over-77-acre Alexandria farm framed by creeks, a waterfall, and an equestrian barn to a Crossville estate pairing two residences with a pond, creek, and mountain views, the emphasis stays on self-contained living. In Melbourne, riverfront cottages and RV lots add an income-minded dimension. Rockwood contributes both a wooded custom ranch with seasonal lake views and adjoining Grande Vista Bay homesites with lake and mountain outlooks.

Set on over 77 acres in Alexandria, Kentucky, Five Creeks Farm pairs a custom-built residence with an equestrian barn and a landscape shaped by running creeks, a waterfall, and a pond. Inside, open rooms are framed by hardwood flooring and 9′ ceilings, with natural light encouraged throughout. Two primary bedroom suites offer flexibility, including one on the first floor and another on the second. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted for serious cooking, featuring two separate ovens flanking a Jenn-Air 5-burner gas range, double-drawer refrigeration, a large refrigerator, dishwasher, and two wine refrigeration units. A finished lower level adds a kitchenette, family room, wine vault, bedroom, full bath, and walkout access to an inground pool, grilling area, and large stamped patio. Beyond, trails wind through the acreage, and a snow-white cottage in the woods invites simple, memorable overnights.

The log home spans 3,300+ square feet with five bedrooms and 3.5 baths, anchored by Tennessee stone and cast-iron fireplaces and a finished basement suited to flexible daily living. In the kitchen, granite countertops pair with cherry cabinetry and stainless appliances for a warm, functional backdrop. A spacious primary suite adds comfort and ease, while a wraparound covered deck extends the living space outdoors. A detached two-car garage, generator, and professional landscaping support year-round practicality, with several outbuildings providing storage. The setting is defined by a large stocked pond, a creek, and mountain views—an everyday retreat with room to breathe.

Along the water’s edge in Rockwood, Tennessee, two adjoining homesites in the gated community of Grande Vista Bay offer a rare canvas for a custom build. Set on a corner at the entrance to a peninsula lined with beautiful homes, the property carries a commanding presence and exceptional curb appeal. Scenic variety is part of the appeal: lake views sit just across the street, mountain views stretch in the distance, and a peaceful inlet frames the rear. A gentle, rolling slope supports a range of home designs, including the option for a walkout lower level, with multiple siting choices to capture both sunrise and sunset. Cleared and ready to build, the land invites planning without delay. Community life includes a clubhouse, swimming pool, and private boat slips available for lease—easy to reach by golf cart for days on the water.
