Description

The Kennedy Place: A Historic 34-Acre Estate in Columbia, TN

Last updated: July 8, 2026

The Kennedy Place is a historic 1840 single-story estate on 34 private acres at 1512 Williamsport Pike in Columbia, Tennessee, listed at $2,750,000. It combines a 4,895 sq ft main house, a two-story log cabin guest house, a restored smokehouse office, a game barn, and equestrian-ready pastures, all ten minutes from Historic Downtown Columbia Square and forty-five miles from Nashville.

Overview

Set in Maury County, the Antebellum Homes Capital of Tennessee, The Kennedy Place is a rare single-story estate offering 4,895 sq ft of living space (5,118 sq ft with the screened porch) on 34 private acres. This is the kind of land and home listing that's genuinely difficult to find in Tennessee: a fully restored antebellum main residence, unrestricted acreage, and no HOA, all inside a ten-minute drive of downtown Columbia.

Originally constructed in 1840 and thoughtfully restored, the main house features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, anchored by a chef's kitchen with a Subzero refrigerator, GE Monogram double oven, DSC cooktop, Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, Scotsman nugget ice maker, and GE wine fridge. Original red heart pine floors have been refinished throughout, and a custom library addition anchors the home's formal living space. Both formal and informal living areas open onto a screened porch overlooking the estate grounds.

Is This an Estate for Sale in Columbia, TN With Real Historic Provenance?

Yes. The Kennedy Place dates to 1840, making it one of the historic estates that give Maury County its identity as the Antebellum Homes Capital of Tennessee. Unlike many "historic" listings that trade on a vague era, this property's construction date, restoration history, and acreage boundary are documented in the Realtracs MLS record and confirmed on site.

What Land and Home Package Does the Property Include in Tennessee?

The 34-acre boundary includes the main house, a two-story log cabin guest house (2 bedrooms, 2 full baths), a restored smokehouse rebuilt as a detached office, a game barn with a full kitchen and bath, a classic animal barn, a tennis court, a pond, fenced pastures, and two gated entrances, including a separate farm drive. An additional 16 acres were acquired in 2022, bringing the estate to its current 34-acre boundary.

Is This a Private Property Suited for Acreage or Horse Use in Tennessee?

Yes. The 34 acres include open green space and fenced pastures suited to equestrian use or hobby farming, along with rolling, wooded, and cleared terrain. There is no HOA, so use of the acreage is unrestricted beyond standard Maury County regulations. This makes it a fit for buyers specifically searching for acreage homes or horse property in Tennessee, not just a large residential lot.

How Much Has Been Invested in Restoration?

Since 2021, approximately $500,000 has been invested in restorations and upgrades, including refinished heart pine floors, a rebuilt front porch, industrial gutters, exterior and interior paint, guest cabin restoration, and game barn refurbishment. This is active, documented investment, not deferred maintenance carried by the seller into the sale price.

How Far Is The Kennedy Place From Downtown Columbia and Nashville?

The property is approximately 10 minutes from Historic Downtown Columbia Square and approximately 45 miles from Nashville. Nearby points of interest include Maury County Park (approx. 2 mi), Chickasaw Trace Park trails (approx. 3 mi), Buckhead Coffeehouse (approx. 2.5 mi), and Muletown Coffee Roasters (approx. 4 mi).

Is a Video Tour Available for The Kennedy Place?

Yes. A full video walkthrough of the main house, guest cabin, smokehouse office, and grounds is available and linked on this page.

Why Does Maury County Attract Buyers Looking for Homes for Sale in Columbia, TN With History Attached?

Maury County has one of the highest concentrations of pre-Civil War homes in Tennessee, which is why it's known as the Antebellum Homes Capital of Tennessee. Buyers searching for homes for sale in Columbia, TN increasingly want a property with documented history rather than a reproduction, and The Kennedy Place's 1840 construction date and restoration record meet that specifically.
