About this property
The Big Blue House - 6000sf of Luxury in Leiper's Fork
The Big Blue House just isn't a place to stay... it's an experience. Perfectly located just minutes from Historic Leiper's Fork Village and short ten mile drive to picturesque Franklin, Tennessee this stylish and sophisticated Farmhouse is surrounded by acres of rolling Tennessee hills. Sitting on five beautiful acres this stunning property offers privacy, serenity, and luxury. 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. Enjoy s'mores over the crackling fire in the outdoor fire pit after a family meal seated around the long farm table on the back deck. Trust us, you are not going to want to leave!
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.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
This sprawling, light-filled property has five separate living areas. "The Great Room" features a 55” Smart TV with two sofas- one a 10' down filled Cloud of comfy, and another 6' one to match. Weather it 's movie night or football day, there is room for everyone.
A second living area “The Music Room” has soft leather seating, a piano and guitars for the musicians in your group, while “The Morning Room” offers another separate living area to read, relax, and mingle. Guests can also socialize in “The Sunroom” overlooking the pond, or head to a fifth living area “The Upstairs Family Room” with another 55” TV.
Get inventive with new recipes in a gourmet kitchen, boasting gleaming granite and marble counter tops, a double oven, warming drawer, and gas cooktop. Keep the chef company at a kitchen island that seats 3, then bring steaming bowls and dishes to a nearby 11 foot farmhouse table with dining space for 12.
This majestic home has four separate bedrooms + a bunk room. The master comes with a king-size Farmhouse bed, a candlelit fireplace and sitting area. An en-suite bathroom has ample counter space, separate shower, and a claw tub.
A second bedroom has two queen-size beds, while the third and fourth bedrooms each have one queen-size bed. All of these rooms also have their own en-suite bathroom. Finally, an OPTIONAL spacious fifth bedroom/bunk room comes with 3 twins and 1 full-size bed that can be booked at an extra charge for larger groups.
Outside the house, hear nothing but the rustle of leaves and birdsong as you walk among its rambling grounds. Enjoy your morning coffee or your favorite drink relaxing in a rocker on the front porch, or take in the sun and country view on one of the two patios, one of which has a 12-foot farmhouse table that seats 14 – a truly scenic spot for alfresco dining.
**Important note: there is no child proofing or fencing around pond, renters to be responsible and solely liable for themselves and all guests**
OUR LOCATION
This nature-surrounded home offers tucked-away seclusion, but you’re just a short drive to local highlights. Hop in the car and head 5 minutes to Leiper’s Fork Village featuring local art galleries, antique-filled shops, open mic nights and year-round events.
You’re also just 15 minutes from Main Street in downtown Franklin, home to a stack of fabulous restaurants. Head to 55 South for creative Southern comfort food and weekend brunches, or hit Mellow Mushroom and order stone-baked pizzas and craft beers.
Further afield, it’s a 35-40-minute drive to the buzzing bars, restaurants and honky tonks of downtown Nashville.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jamie Parsons
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 :-).
