equestrian community: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Now You See It, Now You Don't
- 05/11/10 01:04 AM
Or….more accurately, you DIDN'T see it, and then you DID! I'm talking about cabins that spring up here seemingly overnight. Big South Fork National Park in Jamestown, Tennessee is horse country and many people bought land years ago, thinking that they would enjoy horse camping in the short term and would maybe build a little cabin some day. The weather is so mild here that you don't need much so they buy a lot in one of the equestrian communities like Spruce Creek and have it cleared. They probably put in a parking pad with an RV hookup, and set up … (8 comments)

My Broker at Tennessee Recreational Properties, Sue Neff, and I are both trail riders here in the Trail Riding Capital of the Southeast so we keep our eyes open and ears to the ground, always receptive to opportunities for marketing horse properties to horse people. It seemed like the proverbial "Golden Opportunity" when we got some information from the Backcountry Trail Riders of North Georgia, telling us about their upcoming four-day ride at the renowned East Fork Stables, just south of Jamestown, Tennessee. With over 200 riders attending, we agreed to sponsor and staff a table in the East Fork pavilion. … (3 comments)

As a small tack store and feed supply, selling hay and shavings for bedding, it was a destination for riders coming in to the Big South Fork for the wonderful trail riding. They didn't have to lug consumables with them because they knew they could stop in at Horse Stuff as they … (7 comments)

equestrian community: Tennessee Equestrian Communities Near Big South Fork: Spruce Creek Acres
- 03/30/10 12:02 AM
Big South Fork, Tennessee, is a destination for trail riders and many who have come to ride in the Big South Fork National Park have come to stay. Several equestrian communities have been developed now near Big South Fork. Ten years ago, people who wanted to come here for the riding bought parcels of land in Spruce Creek Acres, the oldest of these equestrian communities, and began to build cabarns (cabin/barn combination) or small cabins. Each one is different and most are tucked into the trees, so it has a very rural look and feel. Deeded trails wind throughout and connect … (12 comments)

equestrian community: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Are You Looking For Land In All The Wrong Places?
- 02/06/10 02:50 AM
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 just coming up for the weekend to ride. They may want an interesting topographical feature and those are plentiful here, with rock bluffs, streams and little waterfalls. They probably prefer proximity to trails. They all certainly need a level building site. Here are four new land listings. … (6 comments)
equestrian community: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Cabin, Sweet Cabin Is Home, Sweet Home!
- 02/04/10 10:27 PM
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 equestrian community was developed at about that time and many of those riders bought a piece of land and built a little cabin for their weekend getaways. Many of those are traditional, typical cabin design, with an open floor plan on the first floor and an open loft on the second.

equestrian community: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Level Land: A Minor Miracle!
- 01/30/10 02:10 AM
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 here in horse country; one is LEVEL and the other is PROXIMITY TO TRAILS. These two parcels are in the desirable Spruce Creek equestrian community which abuts the Big South Fork National Park, a destination for riders because it is considered to have the best trail riding … (4 comments)

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.
