Soak Creek Farm
One of Nashville’s greatest assets is that open space is never too far away. It doesn’t take long to get from the evermore bustling center of the city to the by-God countryside. Drive five minutes west on River Road, say, or Whites Creek Pike, and it’s like being in the middle of nowhere.
And it’s not just on the fringes of the county. There are pockets of undeveloped land — sometimes even wild land — tucked close to the core. It’s why the geckering of foxes is a not-uncommon sound within sight of downtown, and why deer control much of East Nashville. It also goes a long way in explaining the persistent endemic sinus pressure.
