Burkesville, KY is situated on the banks of the Cumberland River just north of the Tennessee border, and between two world class lakes–Cumberland Lake in Kentucky and Dale Hollow Lake, which straddles Kentucky and Tennessee.
Burkesville is the county seat of Cumberland County, Kentucky. It is blessed with rich natural beauty, characterized by dense deciduous forests that cover dramatic limestone escarpments, ranging in elevation from approximately 600 to 1,000 feet above sea level. This area, known as the Highland Rim Escarpment, features misty, rolling hills and inspiring vistas that have garnered the nickname of the “Little Smokies.” This region features some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the country and is blessed with abundant wildlife.
Additionally, the Cumberland River in this region is clean and scenic and boasts some of the best trout fishing east of the Mississippi. Further south, the Cumberland also features some of the most pristine tributaries–Obey River, Caney Fork River and others–that are impeccably managed and full of trout and other species of fish.
While much of the area is forested, the long meandering valleys between the rolling hills feature bucolic pastures primarily used for cattle grazing, hay, or crops such as corn, soy or tobacco.
The Eastern Highland Rim of Tennessee is one of our nation’s most beautiful and under-the-radar regions. It’s characterized by bucolic pastures, waterways teeming with over 140 species of fish–including some of the country’s premier trout fishing, rolling hills, thick hardwood forests and abundant wildlife. For the outdoor sportsman, there are few better places east of the Mississippi River to consider buying land and building a home.
The Cumberland River features prominently in our regional project in both Kentucky and Tennessee. One of America’s great rivers, it is clean and scenic in this region and boasts some of the best trout fishing in the country. The Cumberland is also known for pristine tributaries–Obey River, Caney Fork River and others. All of these are managed closely, full of trout and other species of fish. They are premier regional destinations for fishing, boating, floats, and even white-water rapids in some stretches. The soil here is fertile, water is abundant and we have four distinct seasons.
We’ve had thousands express interest in our Highland Rim Project, and we’ve been humbled by the demand and support for the communities that we are building.

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.
On the western banks of the Cumberland River, about 7.5 miles southwest of Burkesville as the crow flies, lies the Bend at the Cumberland River.
We are pleased to make Phase 1 of the Bend – 50 lots total – available for sale to our discriminating customers. Each River Lot features prime building sites with views down to the Cumberland River that can be cleared (or maintained in forest) as you desire. Each Prairie Lot features panoramic views of the bluffs that encircle the Bend, and some lots are large enough to accommodate modest farmsteading/livestock grazing. Phase 2 of the Bend – primarily forested hills climbing to bluffs 300 feet above the river – is being held back by RidgeRunner for future development. We welcome ideas from any customers for amenities that we potentially could develop on this additional acreage (e.g., a chapel/church building, school, recreational amenities).
All of the lots in Phase 1 are build-ready with easy access to the road, underground electric, city water and DSL internet. RidgeRunner has paid for the development of underground fiber optics (1Gig internet). Residents can enjoy a shared community boat ramp and pavilion. Once 10 lots have sold, a modest association will be established to cover the costs of the shared amenities, including the shared road. Restrictive covenants will be minimal, primarily center around maintaining residence size and quality.
