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

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.

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.

2nd stay at the Big Blue House
This is one of my favorite houses I rent for hosting my creative retreats. The setting is just perfect with views out of every window (and there are many!) and so many bedrooms and bathrooms it can accomodate a large group and the 4 different living rooms works perfect for larger groups too. One of my favorite rooms is the enclosed back porch that faces the pond...such a beautiful scene and at night there are trees that are lit and it looks so pretty! The kitchen is very well stocked and the plates she uses are just beautiful...my favorite pattern. The setting is very special sitting way up high on a hill overlooking rolling hills and fencing for horses. Located half way between Franklin and Leipers Fork makes it the perfect spot for shopping and fabulous restaurants! I will be back again....I look forward to my stay every time I book!!!

Incredible Property and Experience
My family rented this property to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday, and every single one of us were blown away by its grandeur, beauty, comfort, and surroundings. The house is wonderfully decorated and well appointed. The pictures are great, but don’t do the house justice (which is a good thing)! It’s something you just have to see for yourself. The fishing pond is serene and beautiful, the fire pit area is built into the side of natural rock, and the views from the front porch are breathtaking. The home is also large enough to where you can easily slip away for some “me” time without anyone disrupting you. This home is perfect for groups and families, so if you’re thinking about booking, do yourself a favor and make it happen!

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Parsons

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 :-).
