Tucked away along the cool, whispering waters of Bell Branch Creek, this one-of-a-kind 3.76± acre retreat offers the perfect blend of charm, versatility, and opportunity - selling at auction!
The beautifully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath cabin sits peacefully beside 377’ of year-round creek frontage, where the soothing sounds of flowing water set the tone for relaxation. You might notice the creek-side chairs of the owners, situated to fully engulf themselves with sight and sound of their beloved creek. Thoughtfully updated yet full of rustic character, it’s the ideal place to unwind and recharge.
Beyond the main cabin, you’ll find two inviting “tiny house” guest cottages - perfect for hosting family and friends. A detached 2-car garage/workshop provides ample space for hobbies, storage, or business use.
The land itself is just as impressive – wooded along the creek and bluff and open in the front, offering a level area ideal for gardening, a small pasture, or outdoor gatherings. The property is fenced and gated, creating a private, secure setting surrounded by natural beauty.
Conveniently located just one mile off Hwy 100 and approximately one hour west of Nashville, this scenic escape is close enough for easy access, yet far enough to feel like a world away.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful weekend getaway, a high-demand Airbnb investment, a family retreat, a hunter’s base camp, or even a unique business or religious retreat setting - this property delivers endless possibilities. Best of both…private use as well as generating rental income. Imagine the possibilities!
Spring time brings out the beauty of nature, including the many wild flowers along the creeks of middle Tennessee. No exception here; plenty of flowers blooming for your enjoyment. At night, you will be amazed at the ease of Star Gazing! Opportunities like this are rare - don’t miss your chance to bid on this versatile Creekside Haven!

PROCEDURE: The property will be sold per existing deed and current tax record - 6223 Bell Branch Trail, TN 37033 (house on one parcel) - Map 061 Parcel 003.07 - 3.76 acre property with frontage on Defeated Creek Road. (Hickman County Assessor's Offce).
"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!
