This post is worthy of being featured and I wish it had been. Next best thing, though, is to re-blog and I'm not the only one who has. Sharon hits the nail on the head in her last paragraph when she says that asking the questions will help you decide not just who is best but, most importantly, ...

We had a snowstorm yesterday that left 6 or 7 inches of bright, white snow. Just enough for those who enjoy the occasional snowfall but who don't want to deal with it...

This cabin is a little jewel, tucked away in a secluded setting on 3½ acres, right on the Spruce Creek Trail and a 15-minute hack to the Cumberland Trailhead into Big South Fork National Park, with its hundreds of miles of glorious trails.

This part of Tennessee is known for its rugged topography and rolling terrain so it's hard for buyers to find a level piece of land. A good realtor will have walked the property and will know "the lay of the land," so to speak. There are two characteristics that increase the desirability of land ...

What could be better than a closing where you have happy sellers, happy buyers and happy realtors?! I got a call a couple of months ago from a realtor just outside of Nashville, telling me that she had clients who wanted to look at horse properties here in Jamestown, because they planned to come ...

Big South Fork is well known for its trail riding and hiking and, among kayakers and whitewater rafters, for its Class IV and V rapids. It is also one of only a few National Park Service units legislated to allow hunting. Wild Boar is a popular big game species and an extended season for hog hunt...

The Big South Fork of the Cumberland River, originating in Tennessee and flowing north into Kentucky, is a major drainage feature of the Cumberland Plateau. Not far from Jamestown, Tennessee, it flows through a deep gorge which has been eroded through sandstone. You'll appreciate the magnificence...

The Big South Fork National Park is rugged terrain and, when I ride in the backcountry, safety is paramount. I need to count on my equipment as much as I count on my horse, and the SideStep Safety Stirrup is one of the best pieces of tack I have ever used. It has a wide, flat base so your foot re...

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 .
