Depending on where you come from, though, you may not know about "going through the gorge" to get here! B...

  Winters are mild in Tennessee...they are, really! Except for THIS winter! These pictures were taken yesterday, on Saturday, February 13th, an hour apart. The ground is saturated and water seeps through these rocks at Pickett State Park, forming fabulous icicles as the temperature hovers in the ...

HANG UP YOUR HAT; you don't need to do another thing! This comfortable log cabin is right on the trail in the desirable Spruce Creek equestrian community. You don't even know it's there because you can't see it from the road, and you don't even notice it from the trail. It's on a quiet cul-de-sac...

Here in Jamestown, Tennessee, realtors' ads (mine included) say, "mild winters, low property tax, low cost of living…." It's TRUE, all of it! This is a very rural county so there aren't a lot of places to spend money and your dollar goes a long way. It's horse country so how about this: you don't...

Winters are generally mild in Tennessee, and short, so I thought that cold snap which...um..."blanketed" the country a few weeks ago was essentially the depths of our winter. When I lived in Vermont, my horses were blanketed five or six months of the year. In the bad old days, turnout rugs were m...

When buyers come here to Jamestown, Tennessee to look at horse properties near the Big South Fork National Park, they may see as many as 10 or 12 properties in a day. It all starts to run together, no matter how good your notes, and it's hard to remember what you saw where. On a cold, raw, rainy ...

Surprising enough, the demographic in the equestrian communities near Big South Fork National Park are people in their 50's, 60's and 70's, for the most part. Fit, active people who spend a lot of hours in the saddle but…let's face it….that's a lot of arthritic hips, knees and ankles. An old inju...

Just kidding. There's a lot of land for sale here in the horse country surrounding the Big South Fork National Park and buyers interested in land have to consider a few factors to determine which piece is right for them. If they're making a permanent move, they need more acreage than if they are ...

Here in the Big South Fork area of Jamestown, Tennessee, most of the homes are, in fact, cabins. When Big South Fork National Park opened in the mid-1990s, it quickly became a destination for trail riders from Chattanooga, Knoxville, Nashville, and south central Kentucky. The Spruce Creek equestr...

I've always worked hard and done well but, in spite of my record, listing and selling horse properties in the vicinity of Big South Fork National Park, I was not the #1 "Featured Realtor" in Fentress County and I wanted to know why. I discovered that realtors who posted to a blog on Active Rain a...

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 .
