The Legacy of Gracemore

Established 1985

In 1985, Mrs. Grace and Mr. Wilburn Moorehead acquired 126 pristine acres in Chapel Hill, Tennessee—envisioning not only a working cattle farm, but the final estate where their life’s work and values would be reflected. That vision was realized in 1987 with the completion of a stately, magazine-worthy residence designed to endure generations.

The Mooreheads were widely respected as stewards of both land and community. As longtime owners of Moorehead’s Foodland for more than three decades, and through Mr. Wilburn’s 48 years of service with the Chapel Hill Lions Club and leadership at First State Bank, their presence shaped the town in lasting ways. Mrs. Grace’s thoughtfulness—marked by handwritten notes, fresh flowers, and quiet acts of kindness—left an equally indelible impression. Their legacy was defined not by prominence, but by generosity.

In 2021, the estate entered a new chapter when the Threet family acquired the historic residence and surrounding acreage. A meticulous year-long renovation followed—thoughtfully modernizing the home while preserving its architectural integrity and original character.

Throughout the restoration, the Threet family encountered countless stories from those whose lives had been touched by the Mooreheads. Each story reinforced a singular truth: this estate was never meant to be simply owned—it was meant to be shared.

As the renovation reached completion, a decision was made to open the gates and invite others to experience the beauty and spirit of the land. In choosing a name, there was only one that felt fitting. Gracemore honors both Mrs. Grace and the enduring abundance of generosity that defined the Moorehead legacy.

Today, Gracemore stands as a refined estate venue rooted in purpose. A portion of all revenue is reinvested into the local community, and floral arrangements from weddings and events are thoughtfully donated to Chapel Hill/ Eagleville families in need—continuing a tradition of giving that began decades ago.

Gracemore is more than an estate.
It is a legacy—carefully preserved, intentionally shared, and designed to endure.
