The house can include five bedrooms; four with en-suite bathrooms, plus an optional bunk room that has four additional beds for larger parties (at an additional cost).

Enjoy blissful tranquility among nature seconds after stepping outside your front door. Wake up with a cup of coffee or tea on any one of the three porches. Wander the sweeping grounds of this property and you’ll also find a breathtaking stocked pond bordered by one hundred year old majestic pine trees.

Elegant at every turn, your gorgeous rental features all new furnishings mixed with hand picked antiques, five separate living areas, a gourmet kitchen, two patios and a huge front porch to enjoy the changing leaves in fall, or gather and relax on warm summer days.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello!

I'm Jamie, a Los Angeles native with a country heart. Ever since going to a family farm in South Dakota at 8-years old, I have dreamed of owning a place where I could keep a couple of horses, have some land, a gorgeous country view off a large front porch, and most of all, a place where I could host holidays and gatherings for all my family and friends.

In Los Angeles, I had spent years buying and remodeling or rebuilding homes. It was my passion, along with writing. Then the kids came, three of them, and they became my passion, along with writing. Today, with the kids all grown, I am back to flipping homes but swapped my CA real estate license for a TN real estate license, where I especially love helping out-of-towners find their dream homes. And, of course, I'm still writing!

The kids and I enjoy spending as much time at The Big Blue House as possible. Our favorite things to do there? My little one loves to fish, my son loves to work around the yard in a skid steer, and my middle daughter, well, she loves having her friends over to hang out in her pink "glamour" room. Me? My favorite is to sit on the front porch with my morning coffee and read, take my notebook out to the pond and write while listening to the frogs and cicadas sing, and have a friend or four over for a glass of wine, watch the sun drop behind the mountain and see the fireflies come to life out on the grass.

This home is an ongoing dream come true, and I get such great pleasure out of sharing it with guests. I truly hope you feel the same magic I feel every time I drive up that gravel drive.

Cheers!

Why they chose this property

In 2008, I came to Nashville for the first time to help my best friend look for a house. The real estate agent took us on a full-day house tour from Nashville to Leiper's Fork and every stop in between. By the end of the day, I told my friend, "I'm going to live in Leiper's Fork one day."

On my journey here, I made pit stops for a few years in the Gulch and Oak Hill but always had my eye on Leiper's Fork. So I waited patiently (sometimes not so patiently, but I still waited) and searched for my perfect property. When I saw that big blue house perched up on the knoll, there wasn't a doubt in my mind. I had found it. It was in my ideal location, close to the village but off the main road. The trees surrounding the pond still mesmerize. I absolutely adore my barn and horses, the kitchen, the porch, the music room...pretty much every part of the home is everything I was looking for, and more . That's why this property :-).
