Some farms are defined by their acreage. Others are defined by their location. Foxview Farm has the distinction of being defined by both.
Located in the heart of Blue Creek, just outside the historic community of Lynnville, Tennessee, Foxview Farm represents a rare opportunity to own a substantial landholding within one of Middle Tennessee's most distinctive rural landscapes. While much of the region has experienced tremendous growth and change, Blue Creek has maintained the qualities that have defined it for generations—large farms, rolling countryside, open views, and a community that values the traditions and lifestyle that come with owning land.
Blue Creek is not simply a dot on the map; it is a place with a history and identity of its own. Much of that identity is tied to the sporting traditions that have shaped this countryside for decades. The
Hillsboro Hounds, established in 1932, eventually found their way to Blue Creek as development transformed the open country surrounding Nashville. In 1964, Colonel John L. Horner Jr. established the Mells Foxhounds from his farm in the Lynnville area, further cementing this region within Tennessee's sporting heritage.
While the area's equestrian traditions remain an important part of its identity, their lasting influence extends well beyond horses. Together, these organizations helped preserve the large, connected farms, open countryside, and rural character that continue to distinguish this community today.
The result is a landscape that feels increasingly uncommon in Middle Tennessee. Blue Creek has long attracted horsemen, sportsmen, and landowners who appreciate not only the beauty of the countryside, but the ability to enjoy it in a way that has remained largely unchanged for generations.
It is within this stately setting that Foxview Farm is being offered.
THE LAND:
Spanning approximately 747± acres, Foxview Farm captures the variety and character that make Blue Creek such a special place. The farm is comprised of rolling hay fields, wooded ridges, serene creek bottoms, and miles of trails that traverse the natural contours of the property.
The land unfolds gradually as you move across it. Open fields transition into mature timber, ridge lines provide expansive views across the surrounding landscape, and secluded valleys offer privacy and natural beauty. The diversity of the terrain creates a property that is equally suited for agricultural use, recreation, conservation or the creation of a private family estate.
The farm remains highly functional from an agricultural standpoint. Gently rolling fields have supported productive hay operations for years, while the natural topography lends itself to livestock, equestrian pursuits, or continued farming. It is the kind of landscape that is not only beautiful to look at, but practical to own and manage.
Blue Creek itself is an important part of the property's story. The North Fork and South Fork of Blue Creek traverse the northern portion of the farm before eventually converging into the singular Blue Creek that gives this area its name. Several wet-weather creeks move through the valleys, adding to the property's natural character and providing additional water resources throughout the landscape.
A spring-fed creek feeds the stocked fishing pond near the property's rustic fishing camp. Surrounded by rolling hay fields and mature trees, this setting offers one of the property's most unique recreational retreats—a place designed for quiet afternoons, family gatherings and enjoying the simple pleasures of country life.
Whether your interests lie in horses, wildlife, or simply enjoying the outdoors, Foxview Farm offers a landscape that feels naturally suited to each. The combination of timber, open ground, water features, and established trails provides opportunities for horseback riding, wildlife observation and outdoor recreation. White-tailed deer and wild turkey are abundant throughout the property, adding to the experience of owning a farm within one of Tennessee's most established sporting landscapes.
LOCATION & ACCESS
Foxview Farm benefits from extensive frontage along multiple county roads, providing an uncommon level of flexibility for a property of this size. Multiple access points allow a future owner the freedom to thoughtfully position a primary residence, guest accommodations, equestrian facilities, or a family compound without being limited by a single entry point.
While the farm offers remarkable privacy once inside its boundaries, the location provides convenient access to surrounding communities. With close proximity to Lynnville, Columbia, Franklin, Nashville, Huntsville, and being only 7 minutes off of I-65, Foxview offers the rare ability to enjoy a private rural lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity to nearby towns and cities.

IMPROVEMENTS:
The improvements at Foxview Farm have always supported the land rather than defined it. They provide functional opportunities today while allowing a future owner the ability to shape the property according to their own vision.
A charming cottage-style home built in 1989 provides approximately 1,000 square feet of living space with two bedrooms and one bathroom. The home features an inviting outdoor patio area complete with fireplace and gathering space, creating a comfortable and quiet setting. The residence could serve well as a guest cottage, caretaker residence, or housing for an on-site farm manager.
Near the hay fields is a covered pavilion designed for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the farm's natural surroundings. Several older barns provide additional storage, while a rustic Cajun-inspired fishing camp sits beside the spring-fed stocked pond. With its views across the water and surrounding hay fields, the fishing camp provides one of the most unforgettable settings on the property.
An older barn along the banks of South Fork Blue Creek offers another scenic setting, with the character and charm often found only in older rural structures.
On the property's separate 100-acre tract, a rustic barn dating to the 1940s remains as a reminder of the farm's agricultural history. The structure was later adapted with four horse stalls, adding to the property's equestrian potential.
The original farmhouse, also located on the property, was built in the 1940s and began a significant renovation in approximately 2017. The home was taken down to the studs during the process, leaving a future owner with the opportunity to complete the restoration according to their own preferences and create a truly custom residence with the character of an older country home.
Additional improvements include former dog kennels, fencing, and an Amish-built structure previously utilized as an office for the kennels. This area also carries historical significance as the location where the late Albert Menefee established his highly esteemed pack of Cedar Knob Hounds.
A SPORTING LANDSCAPE
The appeal of Foxview Farm extends beyond its acreage. It is the opportunity to become part of a landscape shaped by generations of landowners who valued open country, outdoor traditions, and the ability to enjoy the land as it was intended.
Blue Creek has remained special because the people who have called it home have shared a common appreciation for the countryside around them. The farms remain large. The views remain open. The traditions that helped shape this community continue.
Foxview Farm represents an opportunity to own a meaningful piece of that landscape—a property with the scale, location, and character to serve as a private retreat, sporting estate, or family compound for generations to come.
