This striking farmhouse located on Mentone, Alabama, sits atop a quiet hill on 200 acres of land and perfectly strategizes the fusion of rustic charm and contemporary luxury. Just a few minutes away from the natural wonders of the Lookout Mountain region, the farmhouse offers total privacy and country living surrounded by rolling pastures, forests with mature trees, and spectacular views of the valleys.
The traditional look of the farmhouse’s exterior has an inherent charm and once you park your car in front, you will be captivated by it. The warm wooden finish and the pitched roof are in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings of the house which is a cozy and inviting place.
A wide porch runs along the front of the house and you may choose to relax, enjoying your coffee while sitting on rocking chairs, as the sun rises over the distant mountains. The 200-acre property is yours to explore, whether it be the open meadows, the beautiful hardwoods, the gentle hills, or any other private part far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Upon entering you will feel the farmhouse embracing you in a warm, welcoming, and very rustic manner. The fireplace is the centerpiece of the open living room and the hearth is wide enough to seat several people around it. The ceiling is vaulted and beams are exposed giving the room a retro yet chic ambiance and large windows offer a very beautiful view of the valley and mountains that surround the house. The sun comes through the windows and the reflection on hardwood floor makes the whole room full of life. Every spot that you turn your eyes helps to reveal the great comfort that is so often found in simple peace.
The cooking space retains the farmhouse feel while being fully equipped. Refined kitchen appliances provide all the convenience that modern life has to offer without compromising the hospitality and the warmth which is embodied in the whole house. The dining room is just nearby and can easily accommodate more people and it has windows that bring the farm right inside your home. The meal-prep area is both functional and beautiful and the whole setting is so inviting that you will never want to leave it even for a moment.
Both bedrooms have been designed as sanctuaries that invite renewal and deep rest. To fully compensate you for your day of outdoor activities, the main bedroom has a soft queen bed nestled against wooden panels, while the second bedroom provides sleeping quarters for extra guests with the help of a pull-out sofa or futon.
Both bedrooms are designed so that natural light can fill them and eyes can rest on the rolling hills and open sky through the windows. The full bathroom is a nice place to begin the day as it has been well thought out and features modern sanitary fixtures, and water pressure is great.
However, it is here in the outdoors that this home really excels. The patio for guests sits under a roof and this is where the owner will most likely be found enjoying a cup of hot coffee or a glass of wine. A whirlpool bath is tucked away in a private spot, where one can have a luxurious soak while listening to the voices of nature or gazing at the stars coining the sky. A fire pit can be found on the patio and it is surrounded by seating that invites one to gather in warmth with a friend while looking out to the clear sky. It is only the wildlife and the vast 200-acre estate that is your private domain here.
The real countryside idyll lies in the location. In the very core of the Lookout Mountain area, the farmhouse is surrounded by natural wilderness yet it is very close and convenient for urban exploration. You can hike with endless excitement due to the abundance of trails, waterfalls, and quaint villages.
Each season offers something to look forward to. In spring, the valley will be dotted with colorful wildflowers and in summer, days go by with the sun shining and nights are cool and perfect for stargazing. Fall gives you the chance to witness the glamour of autumn leaves and when winter comes nothing will be heard except for the crackling fire as the frost is outside the house.
