The Ealy House presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored historic residence with the scale, character and flexibility to become a memorable owner-operated bed-and-breakfast, boutique lodging property, private retreat or exceptional Southern estate.
Set on approximately 1.40 acres within the city limits of Pulaski, Tennessee, the two-story brick residence offers approximately 4,432 square feet, five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one-half bathroom. Generously proportioned living and gathering spaces, multiple bedroom suites and a flexible floor plan create the foundation for gracious guest accommodations, intimate group stays, university-related lodging, retreats or multigenerational living.
The property combines historic architectural presence with modern comfort and infrastructure. Features include central heating and air conditioning, public water and sewer, natural gas service, a gas-log fireplace, an attached garage and a substantial concrete driveway. The grounds provide a sense of privacy and arrival while remaining convenient to downtown Pulaski, the University of Tennessee Southern and the broader Southern Middle Tennessee region.
For a hospitality-minded buyer, The Ealy House offers something difficult to reproduce: an established sense of place. Rather than starting with a generic building, a new owner can shape a distinctive guest experience around the home’s historic character, inviting common areas, spacious accommodations and estate setting. Potential concepts may include a hosted bed-and-breakfast, boutique inn, executive or university visitor lodging, culinary or wellness weekends, small retreats, alumni and family stays, or a hybrid model combining a private residence with limited guest accommodations.
The offering is real estate, not an operating lodging business, giving the purchaser the opportunity to develop the brand, operating model and guest experience from the ground up. No revenue, occupancy or return is represented. Any proposed commercial, lodging, event, food-service or short-term-rental use—and any required parking, fire/life-safety, accessibility, health-department, business-license or zoning approvals—must be independently investigated and approved by the appropriate authorities.
Large bedroom, master bathroom, and family room downstairs, separate from guest rooms upstairs.
The Ealy House offers more than a restored historic residence. For the right owner-operator, it can support a differentiated boutique lodging, executive-retreat and private-event business while also providing the benefits of living on the property.
STABILIZED OWNER-OPERATOR TARGET
- Approximately $296,000 in annual guest-room revenue
- Approximately $50,000 from small events and executive retreats
- Approximately $20,000 from packages, enhancements and guest services
- Total potential gross revenue of approximately $366,000
- Estimated owner-operator cash flow of approximately $225,000, before mortgage payments, depreciation, income taxes and a separate owner salary
This scenario assumes five marketable guest rooms, an average daily rate of approximately $295, and approximately 55% annual occupancy.
MATURE OPERATING POTENTIAL
Once the property establishes strong reviews, direct-booking demand, repeat university and corporate guests, and a consistent event calendar, the operation could have a path toward:
- Approximately $600,000 in annual gross revenue
- Approximately $390,000 in owner-operator cash flow
The mature case assumes an average daily rate approaching $350, approximately 65% occupancy, and a more developed calendar of retreats, private gatherings, wedding-related stays and destination events.
The opportunity is supported by a growing regional visitor economy. Giles County generated approximately $26.8 million in visitor spending during 2024, while UT Southern reported enrollment of 1,132 students in Fall 2025, an increase of 8.2%, and will grow to 2,000 students in the next few years, providing recurring demand from parents, alumni, visiting faculty, athletic events and university-related travel (https://mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/local/tourism-in-giles-generated-26-8m-in-2024). Regional wedding and event venues also advertise packages in the several-thousand-dollar range, supporting the viability of a premium small-event component (https://www.eventective.com/pulaski-tn/wedding-venues).
The key advantage is that the owner is not dependent on lodging revenue alone. The property can combine accommodations, retreats, private events, and premium guest experiences under one distinctive historic brand.
These figures are illustrative projections rather than historical operating results or guarantees, but they demonstrate the income potential available to an engaged owner-operator.
