As curb appeal goes, it doesn't get any better than this. This stately home is not on the market but imagine if it was....is this not a realtors' dream of "curb appeal?!" It's on State Highway 297 in Oneida, Tennessee. I go Oneida, through the gorge, from Jamestown, Tennessee about every five we...

During the 1970’s and 80's, there was a wildcat boom in this part of middle Tennessee to tap the natural gas and oil found in the subsurface shale deposits in this area. Within a decade or two, the wells petered out and drill sites were abandoned but it's possible that, if there was an untenable ...

When you're trail riding through the Big South Fork National Park here in Jamestown, Tennessee, you will very often see pipes sticking up at odd angles….so many pipes in so many places that you wonder what they are…or were…or why they're there. They are natural gas wellheads. Unlike oil wells, a ...

How would you like to have 125,000 acres as your big back yard? (with no yard work to do!) From here, you're literally two minutes by horseback from the Cumberland Trailhead into Big South Fork National Park ...measured in yards, not miles. This is a major trailhead; start out in one direction o...

One of the things I like about living out here by the Big South Fork in Jamestown, Tennessee is the little family businesses you find, off the beaten track, tucked away here and there. Jeff's Glass is one of those. Last year, I bought a wooden crate at The World's Longest Yard Sale. It's a lettuc...

How many times have I driven past this old barn and not even seen it? The light conditions must have been just right last week, late in the afternoon on a rainy-ish day. It had been fairly warm but the thermometer suddenly plunged, with fog forming due to the difference in the temperature of the...

Real Estate For Trail Riders
I live minutes from the Cumberland Trailhead into Big South Fork National Park, in Spruce Creek Acres, an equestrian community that abuts the park itself. Horses are a major part of daily life here and this is a very active, supportive horse-oriented community. It is a gift to work as a realtor here, listing horse properties and selling horse properties to horse people! We joke that I've probably done more real estate on horseback than off!
If you want to "live where you love to ride," let me help you find YOUR Big South Fork horse property .
