EQUESTRIAN DEVELOPMENTS: BIG SOUTH FORK NATIONAL RIVER & RECREATION AREA, TENNESSEE/KENTUCKY |
Equestrian Developments TENNESSEE RECREATIONAL PROPERTIES  With more than 100 years combined experience of recreational riding, the founders of Tennessee Recreational Properties have created 5 equestrian communities designed for equine enthusiasts by equine enthusiasts. • RIVER PARK Tennessee Recreation Properties (TRP) has been developing premier equestrian communities in the Big South Fork region since 2005. TRP and its partners have been showcasing the Cumberland Plateau and Fentress County to the nation and making it one of the most desirable equestrian destinations in the southeast since that time. There are few places in the world as welcoming as the Cumberland Plateau. People that are warm and friendly, four distinct seasons in a temperate climate, near year-round outdoor recreation, and trails for horses, hikers, and bikers abound. TRP has designed parcels of land with bluff views, rolling hills, mini-farms and estate-sized homesites overlooking the dramatic Cumberland Plateau and Big South Fork terrain that offer an affordable alternative to the expensive mountain-top properties just east of us in the Smoky Mountains and North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains. Some of the properties offered by TRP include River Park, their first equestrian community, offering 600 acres of incredible beauty — a horse lover’s paradise with miles of trails, underground utilities, restricted covenants, and borders the beautiful Clear Fork River. Hemlocks, pines, and other flora make this backdrop very welcoming and perfect for horse barns. Most home sites consist of 5+ acres, including mini farms of 12-20 acres. River Park has been very popular with many luxury homes and barns being constructed. They have been designed and constructed to take advantage of the near year-round outdoor living and abundant beauty of the region. Equestrian living is at its finest in River Park, where this equestrian community has been designed around the TRP’s Golden Rule: build for others communities we would like for ourselves. TRP partners combine a family tradition of sustainable economic development that stretches back more than 100 years combined with the development expertise of native Floridians who fell in love with the land. You can visit one of TRP’s showcase homes at River Park which allows you to experience the quality craftsmanship, the expansive living area, and the beautiful features of this nine acre site that takes advantage of River Park’s natural beauty. Wide porches on three sides of this home make the outdoors comfortable most of the year and very inviting for outdoor entertaining, relaxing or when the temperatures drop – a spectacular soapstone stove provides a hearth-warming heat. All are perfect for family gatherings or other social opportunities Some other TRP developments include The Hitchin Post and adjacent Hunter’s Ridge, which are two equestrian communities that also cater to the horse lovers with trail riding, underground utilizes, and common areas with home sites ranging from 1 ½ acres to 3 acres for The Hitchin Post where you can find the TRP Cabarns — all-in-one equestrian living and the newest trend in the equine community. Comfortable rustic one to two bedroom cabins with attached barns, horse stalls, and turnouts. These are great for second home owners and can be put on TRP’s rental program to defray the cost of your vacation home. TRP has an extensive management pool and is a licensed property manager. Yet another of the TRP Properties is Nichol Creek Farms. Homesites range from four to twelve acres, giving you plenty of room for a home with horses, gardens, and orchards. The growing season in the area is generally around 180 days, giving you a long growing season to enjoy your fresh produce. Due to the generally mild winters, it is easy to enjoy some cool season crops well into late November or early December most years. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own small farm and growing your own organic produce near year round, this is your opportunity. However, it is vanishing quickly. Nichol Creek Farms is one of TRP’s more affordable developments and the inventory has been going fast. The founders of TRP have been developing land for over 100 years and have developed some of the most desirable land in the Big South Fork region. Their love of nature, horses, and riding makes it natural for them to offer top notch equestrian communities built around a love of the outdoors and long-lasting relationships.
