Hampton, Tennessee

One of the prettiest and biggest, if not THE prettiest and biggest home in Hampton. This house went on the market in early 2000 for a cool $250,000. The write-up said it dated from 1867 and would make a nice bed & breakfast. Very well maintained also, considering the condition of some of the houses close by. Hampton is a very small community, and each year gets closer to Elizabethton by way of businesses locating along the highway between the two towns. The Mountain Spring Water Company used to be next door to this house on the right. It was originally just a spring that flowed into the Doe River, but was captured and gravity fed about 5 miles through a 12 inch pipe under the ET&WNC right-of-way to supply Elizabethton with water. Of course, this has nothing at all to do with this house, I'm just rambling again.
