RidgeRunner is building town & country charter communities in Appalachia. We are pioneering what we believe to be a new model for local life in the digital age.
With collapsing social and institutional trust in America and the rise of digital age conditions, we see rising demand and capacity for new types of communities built around a shared vision for local life in America.
Our communities from the upper Cumberland River in Kentucky, near Wolf Creek Dam, down to the pristine Caney Fork River of Tennessee.
We are headquartered in Gainesboro, Tennessee, which we chose for its regional significance, history and stunning natural beauty.
In the months ahead, we will announce details about our forthcoming master-planned community in Tennessee.
RidgeRunner is an affiliate of New Founding.
Come join us as we build toward a better future in Appalachia.

Longhollow Acres is a rolling 550-acre farm situated six miles northeast of Burkesville, and about half a mile to the river.
Longhollow Acres is a perfect example of the geographical of the Highland Rim Escarpment, with dry oaky ridges at approximately 1,000 feet above sea level rolling down to fertile bottom land fields around 600 feet of elevation. The long, twisting valleys between ridgetops – called “hollers” by those in the know – form very private fortresses where you can enjoy unmatched seclusion in the thick hardwood forests. These unexplored areas often contain springs, creeks, and even waterfalls and they will shield you from the noise and buzz of the world outside.
