There are places that shape us. For me, Forrest Glenn Road is one of them.
My grandfather attended the old Forrest Glenn School. I grew up on a farm along this very road - exploring the wild woods, wading through cold creeks, and living the kind of adventurous childhood only the country can give. My parents still live on that same farm today. Years ago, when life took me elsewhere, I sold a beautiful parcel of land to the Porter family.
And now, the Porter family has entrusted me to tell the story of their father’s dream home at 7399 Forrest Glenn Road.
Built in 1996, this home was crafted with intention - 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open living, dining, and kitchen concept designed to pull nature into every moment. One wall proudly holds the fireplace with gas logs - not for heat, but for the comfort and calm that only a warm glow can bring.
Later, he added what became the heart of the home: a large sunroom. It served as his office, his morning coffee spot, his reading nook, and his window to the quiet beauty of Forrest Glenn. From here, he watched the seasons turn in real time - misty winter mornings, spring green-up, the symphony of summer leaves, and the fire of autumn. [Come view these trees!]
The lay of the land naturally lent itself to a walkout basement. What began as unfinished space soon became his business headquarters, 306 sq feet of functional, practical, and close to home. The remaining 1,350 sq ft of basement offered what we all need but rarely find: storage, storage, and more storage.
A detached garage came next, built for his HVAC business - sturdy, spacious, and endlessly useful. And if you appreciate good craftsmanship, you’ll notice something right away: the concrete. This property is anchored with it. From the main drive to the sweeping lower parking area, it’s built to last and built to work.
The front porch welcomes you with a long, open view across the front yard. But it’s the rear deck - wrapping around the sunroom - that truly connects you to the land. As I stood there, looking deep into the woods behind the home, I found myself remembering the same hills and hollows I once roamed as a boy. This land has a way of handing you back pieces of who you used to be.
If you’re searching for peace, for nature, for room to breathe and space to dream - this is your moment.
Rediscover your youth. Rekindle your passion for the outdoors. Come experience Forrest Glenn Road for yourself.

"Starts to Close at 6:00pm CST" - All online auctions have a posted date and time. The time provided should not be considered a HARD CLOSE. We do not employ a Hard Close; we use a Soft Close method of bidding countdown, for purposes of extended bidding.
Extended Bidding means the capability of the online auction platform to be programmed to extend the closing time of each lot automatically by a pre-determined time (by 2 minutes for instance) as long as there is still bidding activity until all bids have been placed. “Auto extend” has the same meaning as “extended bidding”. This process is seen quite often during online personal property auctions; we also employ this same process during online real estate auctions.
Why does Hudgins Auctions use “Extended Bidding”… Fairness to all bidders! Essentially, it is a built-in function that adds a time extension after a bid has been placed within the final two minutes of the countdown timer. This extended bidding feature is to ensure that the process is fair for all bidders. A similar process is used in live auctions, where bidding continues as long as participants choose to place additional bids. In our live auctions, we often give fair warning, count down, etc. to allow all bidders opportunity to bid. Should a bid be submitted during this “extended countdown”, the bidding always continues until a last and final bid is achieved. The online bidding format has been designed to emulate the live auction – Fairness to all bidders!
Server & Software Technical Issues: In the event technical issues are experienced that are related to the server, software or any other online auction related technologies, Hudgins Auctions, David Hudgins (Auctioneer) and the Seller reserve the right to extend bidding, continue the bidding, or close the bidding. By registering and bidding in this auction each bidder automatically and expressly acknowledges that Hudgins Auctions, David Hudgins (Auctioneer) and the company providing the software shall NOT be responsible or liable for a missed bid or the failure of the software to function properly for any reason. Email notifications may be sent to registered bidders with updated information as deemed necessary by Hudgins Auctions, David Hudgins (Auctioneer).
