Franklin Wow House: A Log Home On A County-Line Straddling Spread

FRANKLIN, TN -- Just a sliver of the 4.58 acres of this home is in Williamson County; importantly, that sliver includes the mailbox and thus the mailing address, opening up the future owners to send their kids to Williamson County's well-regarded schools. The listing insinuates that paying Davidson County's rural rate would represent a savings on the property tax bill, though, in fact, paying Williamson County's taxes on the full piece of property would save the owner about $1,000 a year.

In any event, the log home is private and gated with a high-end media room and a host of upgrades through the 5,200 square feet.
