Rural 1978 Tennessee Fixer-Upper on Nearly 3 Acres with Renovation Potential Under $90K

Spanning 2,320 square feet on nearly three acres of wooded terrain, this Collinwood property offers incredible potential for restoration. Situated in scenic Wayne County, the residence provides convenient access to downtown Collinwood and Natchez Trace Parkway, with Florence, Alabama just a short drive away for those seeking larger city amenities.

While the basement experienced fire damage that was contained by local emergency services, both fire and water caused interior damage requiring gutting and renovation.

Collinwood is a small city located in Wayne County within the scenic Highland Rim region of south-central Tennessee. It is situated directly adjacent to the historic Natchez Trace Parkway at mile marker 355, making it the only city in the state located right on the border of this scenic national route. The landscape is characterized by a relatively broad plain surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests, with local streams flowing toward the Tennessee River through the Shoal Creek and Indian Creek watersheds.

The town was established in 1913 as a stop on the Tennessee Western Railroad to support the local iron and lumber industries. Although it experienced a significant boom during World War I with a population reaching over 2,000, the economy eventually shifted as industrial demands changed. Today, the 1916 Collinwood Railroad Station still stands in the center of town and has been repurposed as a public library and museum, serving as a prominent landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.

As a key gateway for travelers, the community offers various amenities including markets, local eateries, and the Wayne County Welcome Center. Outdoor recreation is a central part of life here, with residents and visitors enjoying activities like hiking at Glenrock Branch, swimming at the city pool complex, and exploring the nearby Buffalo River. The town maintains a quiet atmosphere and hosts several annual traditions such as Old Timer’s Day and the Christmas Parade.
