SHORELINE LN - LA MAISON ROUGE - This majestic Tennessee Riverfront Home / La Maison Rouge towers above the beautiful Tennessee River in the historic river town of Saltillo, Tennessee in Hardin County. This French named house features three levels and has great potential for a Bed and Breakfast. The numerous home facilities and scenic grounds make it a great place for weddings, photo shoots, family gatherings, or any other appropriate social events. With easy access to the river, you can enjoy your water recreational activities such as boating, kayaking, skiing, swimming, and fishing. However, with these superb waterfront views, this 3 Bedroom, 4 Bath red house on the river will allure you to have a seat and watch the river flow by.
MAIN LEVEL - From the street level, you enter the rocked entry into an expansive open foyer which features hardwood flooring and a stairway leading up to the upper level. The stairway has wooden steps and iron/wood stair railing. After entering the foyer, the Office / Study is to your right. This would be a great location for the office if the home was converted to a Bed & Breakfast. The Formal Dining Room is to the left of the entry foyer. It has triple fluted openings in two separate walls. Other features include built-in dish cabinetry, custom draperies, and a large drop down crafted light fixture which add to the splendor of this space. The entry hall and the dining room lead into the family room. This is a great place to sit and enjoy the “million dollar” TN River views through the wall of windows which lead out to an expansive deck. If you can take your eyes off the river, you can enjoy reading a book from the build-in bookcases, watch TV, or take a nap in front of the gas fireplace. The family room flows into the kitchen area with an open concept floor design. The kitchen comes with a plethora of upgrades. Features include a gas top with retractable back splash, double ovens, double door refrigerator, and premium cabinetry. The countertops are Jerusalem Sile Stone. The kitchen island includes a cool pull-out under counter microwave, dishwasher, cast iron double sink, and a hand painted end cabinet. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a beautiful farm themed Italian ceramic artwork from San Gimignano, Italy. On the other side of the island is a neat eat-in kitchen area which has quick access out onto the covered main level deck. Also, there is a spacious handicap restroom on the main level. A walk-in ceramic shower provides plenty of room for personal hygiene needs. The last item on the main level is a large 2 car garage which features several cabinets for storage.
UPPER LEVEL – The top level of this marvelous home has a large bathroom with cast iron tub & ceramic shower combo. The sile stone vanity has double sinks with double mirrors above them. The bedroom next to the bathroom has a private entry into it. This bedroom has a wonderful TN River view too. Next to this bedroom is a bonus room which can be used for a sewing, craft, or event changing room. The Master Suite is the main feature on the top level. It is HUGE and runs the complete depth of the house. Eight feet triple window doors open onto a covered balcony with tall iron railing. This top level Balcony gives a commanding view of the Tennessee River. There is a roomy sitting area separating the sleeping area and the balcony. Double solid French doors open into the awesome Master Bath. On the left, there is a double door closet for laundry. To the right, there is a large walk-in closet. A tall custom double vanity with sile stone top is on the right side with a vanity mirror extending to the ceiling. Across from the vanity, there is a 6 ft. soaking tub with French gold fixtures surrounded by ceramic tile. A 5 ft. window overlooks the Tennessee River. A walk-in glass ceramic shower is provided for when you don’t want to take a bath. The toilet is enclosed in its own private room.
LOWER LEVEL – From the main level, you go down finished wooden steps into the lower level and the Wine Suite. At the end of the steps, a medieval style wrought iron cell provides storage for wine and/or other items. After the Wine Cell, an arched entry opens up into a studio apartment with sitting area and gas fireplace. Fiberglass French doors open out to the Charleston brick patio cooled by a ceiling fan. The suite bathroom features a subway tile shower with rimless shower doors. Along with the suite, there is a large unfinished storage area, a single door garage, and a fortified “safe place” which could be used for severe weather events. The lower level is in the 100 year flood plain, but the owner has never seen water get close to the house. The main and upper levels were engineered to be above the flood plain.
OUTSIDE GROUNDS - This riverfront property consists of 2 lots and has 150 feet +/- of Tennessee River frontage. There is a Large Deck on the back of the house. On the main level, part of the deck is covered and part is open. On the upper level, there is a covered balcony. The lower level has a Charleston hand-made brick patio with composite stone around the foundation. The grounds were professionally landscaped by 4 Seasons of Jackson. There is a double tiered outside raised garden with several large wooden plant boxes. This well-designed garden features an English styled fence. The backyard has three large trees and includes a two person swing to enjoy with a corner trellis. Limestone Rip Rap has been placed on the massive riverbank to protect from erosion. There are two types of steps which lead down to the river. One is a crafted boulder step system which leads down to the beach. The other steps are wrought iron and lead down to a three tiered dock where you can tie up your boat. There is a re-moveable floating dock which can accommodate your personal watercraft. Probably the most amazing highlight of this wonderful property is the God-made river boulders which are massive in size and weigh many tons. They are unique to this property in this area and help to protect while naturally beautifying this premier riverfront estate. A public boat ramp is just a short walk from the property.
This is one of the premier riverfront houses on the Tennessee River in West TN. If you want to get away from the hustle & bustle of Pickwick Lake, come up to the quiet waters of the West Bank at River Mile Marker # 172.
