Experience true waterfront living in the heart of the Tennessee River Gorge, with deep water access and stunning, unobstructed views across preserved natural land. This setting offers a rare combination of privacy, beauty, and long-term value.
The property includes direct water access, a private boat ramp, seawall, and mature trees that create a peaceful, established landscape. The spacious lot is well-suited for lake living and comes with a permitted boat dock ready for installation.
The existing cottage is a shell and will require a full renovation, providing an opportunity to design and finish the home exactly to your vision. Its open layout and large decks make it an ideal place to enjoy quiet mornings or relax at the end of the day overlooking the water.
Utilities are available, and the septic system has recently been inspected. A well will need to be installed for water service.
Conveniently located just a short drive from downtown, you'll have easy access to fine dining, shopping, superior medical care, and more--while still enjoying the peace and privacy of waterfront living.
This is a rare chance to create your own waterfront retreat in one of the area's most scenic locations. Contact us to schedule your private showing.
