The Land

As soon as you turn off of Highway 72 into the middle of this property, you are greeted by an idyllic tree-lined drive flanked by well-maintained horse fencing and magnificent views of your property on all sides.

The eastern side of the property off Highway 72 has a gentle slope down toward Bluewater Creek. The pastures on the east side are pristine and well manicured, and include a large equipment barn with ample room for storage. Youll also enjoy the novelty of a two-story party pavilion (with two bathrooms) situated in the middle of what used to be two polo fields. The pavilion offers new owners a great spot to host fun gatherings while taking in the exceptional views in all directions. Youll also find a spring-fed pond and a very productive water well that supplies water to various locations throughout the property.

To search for the heart and soul of any equestrian property, a good place to start is the barn. On the western side of the main drive, youll find a 20-stall indoor barn that was thoughtfully designed and constructed with high-quality materialsand with style and longevity in mind. Cinderblock construction, metal stall doors, and a perfect and practical layout are just a few details that make this barn a standout. Additionally, the main breezeway is covered in non-slip, rubber pavers, increasing comfort and safety for all hooves and feet entering the barn. Other convenient features include four entrances, a wash rack, and built-in sleeping quarters with a shower stall.

Adjacent to the barn you will find a Kraft Horse Walker that can accommodate up to six horses and allows you to change speed and direction easily. The horse walker also features a spacious round pen for additional training. The location of this walker allows for ease while moving horses in and out of the barn. A nearby shed-row horse barn with nine stalls also has an enclosed tack room and additional covered space for equipment storage. Just a short walk from the 20 stall indoor barn, youll find to two large equipment barns with ample room for storage, including additional covered storage on the back of each structure for hay, implements or other items.

The fields in this section of the property have been impeccably maintained for cutting hay, including four individual paddocks enclosed with Centaur Fencing. The paddocks are separated with an alleyway making it safer and easier to move horses in and out of their respective fields. Each paddock has water connections and separate covered shelters for horses to utilize as a respite from the elements. Just south of the main barn is a one-mile racetrack, which is in great condition.

The western and southern boundary of the property is flanked by approximately 1.25 miles of scenic frontage along Bluewater Creek. The creek along the western boundary is a fly fisherman's dream, and perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting along the banks enjoying a day on the water with your family and friends. Bluewater Creek is a tributary that flows into Wilson Lake on the Tennessee River. Wilson Lake is known for outstanding bass fishing opportunities and recreational use. Deeper water access is located on the southern boundary of the property and may offer a good location for a dock or boat ramp if approved by proper permitting entities.

With the core elements of a diverse-use and high-end horse property already in place, all that may be missing on this land is that beautiful custom home you've been dreaming of.
