"Peace of Heaven is one of the more beautiful estates I have ever worked on. It really is one of a kind," stated Trayer. "The very elegant, yet tastefully done home affords total privacy while still being close in proximity to the cities of Kingsport and Bristol. It is a beautiful, livable home that is perfect for entertaining. Having worked with Concierge Auctions in the past, I look forward to working with them again on this estate — they are the only auction firm that I would recommend to a client. The Concierge professionals understand luxury properties, and they are very easy to work with. They approach each auction with one goal in mind: bring a qualified buyer to the property to get the best market value on a home."

Sitting high on the mountain, Peace of Heaven offers a commanding view of the countryside. Conveniently located just off 11-W between Kingsport and Bristol, this seven-bedroom, six-bathroom residence includes an orchard, rolling hay fields, hillsides of dense native dogwoods, a majestic hardwood forest, a pond teeming with fish, countless wildflowers and native understory plant life — all of which support an abundance of carefree roaming wildlife.

Authenticity and high quality workmanship of true artisans are evident throughout the home. Building materials were carefully selected in keeping with the manor plan, and pieces were often imported from abroad or reclaimed from historical treasures. The lower level has a bonus area, perfect for use as an exercise room or office, a full bathroom, a recreation/media room, and a spacious hobby room or wine cellar. A detached three-car garage plus workshop adjoins the main house by covered porch and has a private upstairs apartment, complete with great room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

The outdoor pool, with fountains and beautiful poolside planters, adds to the elegance of the property. A generous fireplace of river rock masonry with Indiana limestone mantel and hearth anchors the outdoor experience with lively fires for warmth and open fire cooking.

Rustic buildings scattered about the property speak to the agrarian life the land once supported. There are hen houses, a root cellar and corn crib. The tobacco barn was remodeled to include three horse stalls, a tack room, a bathroom, a washing deck and a chicken coop. In the barn, there is a tool room, potting shed and storage area. For the adventuresome, the open-air loft offers four beds, a hunting blind, a catwalk and a swinging bridge. The man-made pond with catfish, sunfish and smallmouth and largemouth bass is fed with underground well water and ideal for catch-and-release fishing.

"I have been very blessed to have had this special place to call home, and the ability to have shared it with so many people in the community," stated seller Sue Lepsch. "Peace of Heaven is warm and inviting – a real pleasure to live in. The house reflects the setting – it is beautiful, relaxing, and inspiring. From my children exploring the lush forests, to guests attending art shows and workshops, weddings and well-deserved sabbaticals, this home has seen lives enriched and has given precious memories to those who reveled in its gift of beauty. The antique features give an historical presence to the home while the house lends itself to family life, welcoming guests and large scale entertaining."

"Following our sales of Villa Collina in Knoxville and the Windy Hills Estate near Chattanooga, we are excited for the auction of another stunning Tennessee property," stated Laura Brady, President of Concierge Auctions. "Whether you are interested in a magnificent family home, a beautiful retirement escape, or potentially a bed and breakfast, winery, gentleman's farm, or equine venture, this extraordinary estate offers something for everyone." 

The auction of Peace of Heaven – On the Hill Estate, located at 275 Timbertree Branch Road in Kingsport, TN, will be held live on September 24th. A 2.5% commission is offered to the buyer's representing broker. The property will be open for preview daily from 1-4 pm and by appointment. See Auction Terms and Conditions for full details.
