Additional Information
The dream of Hoover Hollow's owner was to create a remote oasis in the foothills of the Appalachians - on the Cumberland Plateau, providing seclusion for a sanctuary retreat while preserving some of America's most beautiful countryside. He spent years acquiring land, little by little, to establish this 1,000 acre treasure. At one point in time, the property was near 3,000 acres prior to donating all but 1,000 acres to surrounding wilderness - thus further ensuring the conservation of the land.
Tally has cared for the property as a national park with few motorized vehicles and has not raised any animals, so as to preserve its natural state. One can feel the tension slide away as you approach the property, traveling on the bumpy, dirt roads through the forest. The understated entry - with a small electric gate - masks the incredible detail and care given to the infrastructure and quality of development.
