About the host

Hosted by Collin Cordell

Host profile image
My name is Collin Cordell. My wife Jennifer and I are lucky enough to have been able to realize our dream of owning this amazing piece of history. We are both from Jacksonville Fl. and fell in love with Murphy a few years ago when we purchased a small cabin in the mountains. Since that time we have sold everything that we own and moved to Murphy full time in order to not only be a part of this most amazing community but to continue on the tradition of the most amazing Cobb Creek Farm. From the moment we first stepped foot on this property we knew it would be ours. The property is said to have healing powers and once here we can truly say that we never want to leave. We love meeting new people and hope to get to know you. We are always here to answer any questions you have on the history of our place or anything you need. We love boating, motorcycles, and our two cats Tuna and Sticks.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this amazing piece of history from the moment we first set foot on it. We bought the Historic Cobb Family Estate which was build in 1861 from the most amazing couple Veronica and Jimmy T. They put their lives into this this place for 20yrs and we just immediately bonded and all knew that we were the right couple to continue to make this amazing place even better. The rich history of this property, the quiet, peaceful, and tranquil setting, coupled with our love of not only people but projects ensure that we will have decades of to do lists and fun.

What makes this property unique

Cobb Creek Farms consists of 21 acres of the original Cobb Family Estate from 1861. It was the childhood summer home of the baseball legend Ty Cobb and stayed in the Cobb family for more than 100yrs. Our property consists of 6 authentic log cabins, 4 of which sit directly on Cobb Creek. We have an amazing property with deep rich history. Come in the spring and pick cherries, apples, pears, blueberries. Enjoy fresh eggs from our chickens, and by all means enjoy exploring our place.
