About the property

Updated 3-Bed Ranch on Half-Acre Near Kentucky Lake

Set on a level half-acre just minutes from Kentucky Lake and Paris Landing State Park, 65 Kirks Trading Post Road delivers single-story living with recent, practical upgrades. The property’s strength is its site: approximately 100 feet of frontage and a spacious yard give room for backyard activities, garden beds, or a future outbuilding. For lake lovers and weekend visitors, the marina, state park and golf course are all within a short drive, making this ranch an appealing primary residence or vacation base.

Inside, the house spreads 1,500 square feet across a thoughtful ranch plan. Sellers invested in meaningful updates — a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, hardwood floors that run through the main living areas, and a professionally installed HVAC system in 2024. The single-level layout places three bedrooms and two full baths within easy reach, offering accessible living for multigenerational households or buyers seeking low-maintenance daily life. Central AC and electric heating provide climate control, while municipal water keeps utility concerns straightforward; the home does use a septic system (inspection recommended).

Practical features continue outside: a generous driveway accommodates several vehicles and guests, and the level lot simplifies outdoor projects. The roof is asphalt shingle; given the 1985 construction date buyers should verify roof condition during inspection. Henry County’s R-1 zoning also allows accessory dwelling units with proper permitting, creating a clear path for buyers who want to add rental income or a separate studio later.

From an ownership and investment perspective this house represents value. County records show an assessed value near $100,000, while market analysis and nearby comps place fair market value between $140,000 and $160,000 (midpoint $150,000). The area shows steady appreciation and an active buyer pool for single-family homes — typical days on market are roughly 45 in this corridor. With recent interior updates and a new HVAC, this home reduces near-term capital needs and offers lifestyle upside for buyers drawn to lakeside recreation and a short 15-minute drive to shopping and dining in Paris, TN.

Editorial market perspective

This micro-market in Buchanan is currently balanced, leaning slightly toward sellers on competitively priced listings. Local market indicators: inventory sits around three months (a healthy, balanced level), average days on market are about 45, and median sale prices in the area are approximately $150,000. Price trends show modest recent appreciation — roughly 5% year-over-year and about 15% over five years — driven in part by demand from buyers seeking weekend access to Kentucky Lake and Paris Landing State Park. Single-family ranch homes like this one remain in steady demand: comparable sales within one mile support a $140K–$160K range, and well-presented properties with updated systems typically move faster than older, unrenovated stock. For investors, estimated monthly rent for similar 3BR homes is near $1,200, generating a gross rental yield near 9.6% at the midpoint price — attractive for short-term rental targeting recreational visitors. Given the balanced inventory and local recreational draw, this is a timely opportunity for owner-occupants and investors who want a turn-key house near regional amenities.
