The Southern Real Estate story began thirty-seven years ago when Tommy Dobson, Josh's father and land surveyor, personally trekked the terrain and came to know The Cumberland Plateau better than anyone in the region. The Dobson Family's love for the land and keen sense that this region would one day be a leading market, led them to purchase 40,000 acres of land. Today, Southern Real Estate, family-owned and operated, now offers buyers the opportunity to own breathtaking acreage of affordable mountain land, where they can build a dream home or choose to keep as an investment for their family's future.

Southern Real Estate has found that baby boomers, yearning to connect with nature, are drawn to their properties on The Cumberland Plateau. Situated along Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama, this breathtaking Plateau is within 120 minutes of six nearby cities: Chattanooga, Knoxville, Nashville, Atlanta, Huntsville and Birmingham. The Plateau's proximity also appeals to families in these nearby-cities looking to build an affordable vacation home. Finally, world-wide investors are showing interest in Southern's property as they recognize the rare beauty of this region and the advantageous opportunity to purchase the land directly from the owner.

This coming year, the Dobson Family is focused on creating three amenity-filled, large acreage lot developments within The Cumberland Plateau. "Our vision is to maintain the scenic haven while offering residents activities and amenities only found in a country setting," says Josh Dobson. From Georgia properties at The Preserve touting a golf course, tennis courts, walking trails, fitness center and community riding horses and stables; to Alabama properties at Long Island Overlook positioned on a breathtaking bluff overlooking the Tennessee River; to The Cumberlands with community access to over 7,000 acres in Franklin State Forest -- Southern is committed to extending affordable mountain luxury to all interested customers.

"The love for the land is what differentiates Southern from all other real estate ventures. We live on our land with our families and are sincerely committed to preserving a way of life offered nowhere else on the planet," says Josh Dobson. He adds, "We are the undiscovered gem of the South and we invite everyone to come experience this heavenly region for themselves."
