One of a kind historic property in a beautiful country setting, like stepping into a storybook. Available on the open market for the first time ever, the historic "School House" c. 1922 on over 2 acres of secluded Smyrna countryside is ready for its new owners. Relocated to this site approximately 1977, the structure was originally a schoolhouse located in downtown Clayton. Some original features of the schoolhouse, inlcuding blackboard and some storage cabinets, still remain. Over the years, a greenhouse, pergola, and pole barn were added. The remodel and work over the years has seamlessly blended history with modern conveniences. There are two lovely bathrooms, spacious living areas, and a beautiful eat-in kitchen. There is also an attached two car garage plus detached pole barn. The outdoor spaces are charming and comfortable. For more history and photos, contact the listing agent. Now scheduling private showings.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
