The dam project is projected to be finished by 10/24. Just in time for the new owners to have the lake back up this year! Starlink Internet is available! This remarkable lake cabin is located in a gated lake community tucked away in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee abutting the Cherokee National forest. Surrounded by rhododendrons and mature trees, you will find plenty of privacy and parking for guests, a two car carport and a drive through driveway...no more backing out! This home is nearly ready to be completely off-the-grid with an entire home propane powered generator, propane range, propane wall heaters, and propane refrigerator! This home also comes with well water and a three filter filtration system. The plumbing has been updated to PEX as well. The home is insulated extremely well and will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The living room has a beautiful stone fireplace that will heat the whole home in the winter if you don't want to use the propane wall heaters! This fireplace also has a brand new stainless steel flue. The owner is leaving plenty of wood for the next owner that will last many winters. The outside of the property has many areas to sit and relax. Enjoy lake access with your own private dock and your very own canoe that the owner will leave behind. The back deck gives you plenty of privacy to enjoy the peace and quiet as well as the screened in back porch. Listen to the nearby creek as you enjoy the outdoors. The lake is currently drawn down to complete the necesssary updates and rehabilition of the dam so the new home owner can enjoy the beautiful lake for many more years to come! The project is expected to be completed during 2024. All information deemed to be reliable but not guaranteed and it is advised that the Buyer/ Buyers agent to verify all information
