A rare gem in the Music City
Neely’s Bend mostly remains an untouched gem in an otherwise growing and urbanized city. Named for the “bend” in the Cumberland River, this Nashville neighborhood consists of acres of pastures and woodlands accessible only with a narrow two-lane road. Typical scenes here include farm-themed weddings set against a backdrop of the rolling, forested hills and the Nashville skyline. Or horseback riders and joggers taking to some park trails as remote-controlled aircraft buzz in the distance. “To me, the best part of living down there is it’s the country part of Madison,” says Jackie Daniel, who owns the Barn in the Bend property with her husband David and who lives in lower Neely’s Bend. “It’s just the wide open spaces. It’s like nobody believes you can live this close to the city and be in the country, too. The location is excellent; to be able to feel like you’re out in the country, but yet can easily access all the shops, eateries and the downtown environment.”
The Cumberland River twists and turns through the Neely's Bend area.
