Lyric at Leiper’s Fork

The words of a song- the lyrics- have a way of evoking emotion, inspiring us and even taking us back to a certain place or time in our lives. This is the same feeling we get when we turn onto the winding country roads that lead to Leiper’s Fork and eventually to a secluded home set on 12 acres. We imagine it is these same back roads and this type of setting that inspire the lyrics for many a songwriter here in Tennessee. In fact, it was on this drive that we had the inspiration for our home’s name, Lyric. For those who feel they can safely travel and are looking for a place to social distance, relax or even work remote, look no further than here. 

The home itself features an expansive 70ft balcony that overlooks the hilltop and is lined with rocking chairs to take it all in. Inside you will find a modern farmhouse style with 15 foot vaulted ceilings in two large living spaces, a well equipped kitchen and dining space, and 3 bedrooms each with en suite bathrooms. In total there is nearly 2,700 sq ft of living space and small, thoughtful touches throughout the home come together to create a lasting impact for your stay.
