Owners have given instructions to drop the sales price $10,000! You will NOT find a parcel of land with a better view of Cherokee Lake at this price!The owners chose this spot to build their forever home. They applied for a septic system permit with the State of Tennessee and received it. They hired a crew to clear and prep the lot for building. Photos displayed show the amount of growth that was on the lot before clearing. Then, one photo shows the end result once the land was cleared. In other words, they spent a lot of money to do what needs to be done before breaking ground. But, in life, as we all know, stuff happens, and plans change. So, this family's loss can be your gain. They sincerely hope that the family that settles on this parcel of land will enjoy it as much as they would have.Lot 138, at .78 of an acre, is a large parcel of land for this community and totally cleared.

Without a permit, you cannot build a home in Tennessee.
