Located just 10 miles from the Davidson County line and 15.8 miles from West Nashville, this 106-acre legacy property lies along the Harpeth River near the Narrows of the Harpeth—one of the region’s most notable natural and historic landmarks. The land offers a distinctive combination of productive farmland, natural beauty, privacy, and a meaningful connection to the area’s history. The property offers approximately three-quarters of a mile of usable Harpeth River frontage—an increasingly rare feature within easy reach of Nashville. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, swimming, and fishing on one of the prettiest and sought after rivers in the area. Approximately 60 acres are devoted to row crops, with the balance comprising open pasture and mature hardwoods lining the base of Paint Rock Bluff. Wild turkey and whitetail deer are abundant throughout the property. In early spring, the owners consistently witnessed flocks of 100± turkeys moving across the pastures after leaving their roosts high along the bluff. A refurbished 1,400-square-foot home (sold AS IS) overlooks the open fields and river corridor, while an existing barn adds to the property’s agricultural character and utility. Etchings from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s are visible inside the historic handmade barn, adding to the allure. Enclosed by the river and the surrounding bluff, the setting is private and removed, with expansive views and memorable sunrises and sunsets. High above the bluff at the river’s bend, is home to two visible petroglyphs that speak to the area’s long human history. Arrowheads and other artifacts have also been discovered on the farm. Once recognized as a Century Farm, the property retains the quiet, established character of land that has remained largely untouched over generations. Harpeth River frontage, proximity to Nashville, and remarkable privacy define Paint Rock Bend. Its natural beauty, historic allure, enduring legacy make it a truly distinctive piece of Tennessee land.
Time seems to slow down as you take the country road into the 106 ac Percy Harris Farm & the Harpeth River. Time has not touched it much since the Harris family settled there. While updated the 1412 sq ft farmhouse maintains original simplicity & character, a hand-dug cistern that provided “running water” for washing clothes sits in the corner of the washroom & old dinner bell & cauldron remind us of simpler times. The hand-hewn log barn holds carvings on the doors that read the years 1929-36.

A
Agricultural District
Because agricultural and forestry activities comprise an important segment of the economy of Cheatham County, this district was designed to provide suitable areas for the growing of crops, animal husbandry, dairying, forestry, and other similar activities which usually occur in and characterize rural rather than urban areas. This district is designed, furthermore, to provide for low density residential development generally on large tracts of land whereon public sanitary sewer service and, in many cases, public water supply are least practical. This district may also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses which serve specifically the residents of this district or which are benefitted by an open residential environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments or influences incompatible with a rural environment.
Permitted uses

Agriculture
