The Bend at the Cumberland River

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) and construction is underway, estimated to be completed by mid-year in 2023. 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.

The Bend offers a unique opportunity to acquire property on one of the great American rivers in a premier and unspoiled location, at an unbeatable price point. Here, the Cumberland is clean and fast-flowing as it makes its way down the Highland Rim toward the Nashville basin. As the property owner, you acquire rights directly to the water’s edge; the US Corps of Engineers does not own any land between you and the river that you hope to enjoy. Watch the mist rolling off the water in the early mornings and the trout fishing from your back porch. You can put your boat in this river and travel down to Nashville, and from there, to all the great American cities along the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee river waterways, even all the way down to the ocean.

Even better – you can enjoy all of this serenity in a RidgeRunner community, surrounded by neighbors who are pioneering a better way of life in the bosom of the Old American Heartland.
