100 Henley Rd Ashland City, TN 37015

Listing details for 100 Henley Rd, Ashland City, TN 37015 : Enter into a magical creekside meadow, anchored by towering black walnut and sycamore trees and carpeted with an extraordinary diversity of native wildflowers and grasses. Big Marrowbone Creek runs the entire back length of the property — home to fish, otter, heron, and more. The headwaters of Big Marrowbone Creek is Marrowbone Lake, a spring-fed lake that only allows paddlers and electric motors! A 100-foot rock cliff rises above the creek, forming a dramatic natural boundary that offers complete seclusion along the water's edge. Springs trickle down the rockface, and combined with the currents and rapids, the air is filled with the sound of moving water. The pawpaw — Tennessee's largest native fruit — lines the creek alongside spicebush, river cane, and an abundance of native species. In the spring, Virginia bluebells emerge and put on a dazzling show of color and beauty. Most of the land is flat, rather hard to find in Cheatham County, and is a lovely mix of open meadow and creekside woodland. This land is truly a riparian refuge and has to be walked to fully appreciate its uniqueness. Pictures don't do this land justice! The property has recently been approved for a three-bedroom septic permit, with electric and water available at the road so land is ready for a home. Any construction will need to comply with applicable floodplain building codes, including requirements for permanent foundations and minimum first-floor elevation. The seller reports no observed creek flooding into the main field during their ownership, though the majority of the property lies within the floodplain.
