fentress county tennessee: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Fentress County Quilt Barns - 09/01/10 08:11 AM
Big South Fork Tennessee is renowned horse country, but it's so much more than just that. As visitors drive through Fentress County, they'll see bright quilt blocks hung on local barns. In fact, they may come here just to see the quilt blocks, following the Quilt Trail through 27 states and parts of Canada!
The concept of Quilt Barns started with a woman in Ohio who wanted to honor her mother's Appalachian heritage by having a painted quilt hung on her barn. The idea spread, not only brightening up barns but bringing tourists; now there are over 2,000 quilts participating in … (4 comments)

fentress county tennessee: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Silos Are Silent Sentinels - 07/22/10 09:54 AM
When you're in Fentress County, Tennessee, you know you're in the country! Everywhere you look, the scenery is so pastoral, it could have been painted by Norman Rockwell.
And…if you start looking for them…there are silos everywhere you look.
Did you ever wonder how they work?? Most people would assume that grain is put in the top and taken from the bottom but that's NOT how it works. The grain or silage, which is actually chopped hay, is loaded into the top of the tower with a grain elevator, a conveyor belt, and gravity does the rest. When feed is … (5 comments)

fentress county tennessee: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Dare To Be Different - 02/19/10 06:08 AM
We at Tennessee Recreational Properties planned to "launch" our new webpage on March 1st, to coincide with a full-page ad in The Trail Rider magazine, due out at about that time.
We've had several long "brainstorming" sessions and we know two things....what we want and what we don't want!
We've scrutinized other ads and other websites and we KNOW that we don't want to do what everyone else is doing. We don't follow the herd, so we won't be blatting about building your dream house on that perfect horse property. And we won't have any fake-looking barnboard siding, no barbed wire, … (3 comments)

fentress county tennessee: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Planting Our Flag At The Summit - 02/03/10 05:44 AM
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 accrued points and it was the realtor with the most points who was featured, in each county of each state.
Regional posts appear as "Localism" and reinforce the idea that you really know a lot about the area. Makes sense.
So…I blogged. And then I blogged … (9 comments)

fentress county tennessee: BIG SOUTH FORK TENNESSEE: Christmas In A Small Community - 12/22/09 08:14 AM
I went into the courthouse yesterday to research a deed and to ask the Tax Assessor a question. On a raw December day when the light changes at 1pm and it feels dark and dreary, the courthouse corridors are ablaze with Christmas lights and decorated doorways. Each office is filled with baked goods and Christmas candy.
This is what life in a small town with a close-knit community is like. It makes me glad to live here, and proud of Jamestown, Tennessee.
There's alot more here than the trail riding in Big South Park National Park which, admittedly, is pretty fabulous. … (10 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. 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 .
