This colonial sits on just over 4 acres in Ramer, and honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you think about what could be. Built in 1900, it’s got that old bones feel—formal living and dining rooms, a den tucked off to the side, and a 2-car carport. The home is 2,684 square feet. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It needs work. That’s not me being polite—it genuinely needs attention. But the structure’s there, and so is a storage building and a barn out back.
The land is what catches you first. A little over 4 acres gives you room to breathe. You’re not right on top of neighbors, and there’s space to let kids or dogs run around, or just to sit outside without feeling boxed in. The barn’s solid enough to store equipment or maybe fix up for something else down the line. The storage building is functional—nothing fancy, just useful.
Inside, the layout feels intentional. The formal rooms have tall ceilings and that kind of proportion you don’t see in newer builds. The den is smaller, quieter. It’s the kind of space that could be a home office or just where you sit with coffee in the morning. The bones are good, but you’ll be dealing with updates—probably flooring, maybe plumbing, definitely cosmetic stuff throughout. It’s not move-in ready.
What I keep coming back to is the potential. You could restore this as a family home. Or you could lean into the history angle and turn it into a bed and breakfast or short-term rental. Ramer’s quiet, but people looking for rural Tennessee getaways might be interested. The acreage helps with that—it gives guests privacy and a sense of being somewhere different.
The carport’s practical. Two cars fit under it, which is more useful than it sounds when you’re dealing with Tennessee weather. And having outbuildings already in place saves you the headache of adding them later if you need storage or workshop space.
Price $89,900.
