608 Sam Heim Rd, Rutledge, TN, 37861

If you are familiar with our Tennessee Lakes, then you know we refer to the winter months as the ''ugly season.'' Lake levels are down before they spring up (no pun intended) to what is called ''full pool.'' The waters will rise and fill the lake banks, all the way up, covering all visible ground. Simply beautiful. Unfortunately, some properties lose their view of the lake until this happens. With this property, Cherokee Lake views are year-round. During the ''ugly'' season and they get only better during the ''pretty'' season. The home sits on a 1.04 acre bluff, which makes unobstructed views of Cherokee Lake visible the entire year. The home was built, in 2020, by a local builder as a 1,300 square foot lake getaway. He is now expanding it into a fully sized 2,227 square foot three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. A large wrap around deck has been added to take in the views. Sunrises, sunsets, the main channel of Cherokee Lake, and a portion of the Great Smoky Mountains, you can see them all from this deck. There are also nice views from the main living area and main bedroom as well. As you enter the house, all the living space is on one level. No stairs to climb. The deck is the only area of the house that has steps. Limited photos of the inside of the home are being displayed as the home is actively undergoing construction, and the seller is currently residing in the home to oversee the work. Completion has been delayed because of the weather, the late arrival of building supplies, and is now scheduled for mid-April. A large concrete driveway and walkway have already been added, which are not visible from some of the earlier photos being displayed. There is also plenty of extra parking for a boat and/or RV. As well as a newly built detached garage, large enough for a pickup truck. There is no HOA (short-term rentals are allowed) in this community, and city water is onsite. No well to fool with. Plus, high-speed fiber internet is available, allowing you to work from home and/or stream all your favorite shows without delay. This place is ideal as a home to live in, as a weekend getaway, or as a vacation rental. You choose. Located in Grainger County, with its scenic farmland but close to everything. Grainger County Park is 3 minutes away. Cherokee Dam, with year-round facilities for unloading your boat, grilling stations, a public beach, restrooms, pavilion, and a campground, for friends and families that may want to visit in their campers, is within 7 minutes. See accompanying photos. Jefferson Memorial Hospital, a Four-Star nationally ranked health care provider, Walmart, and Lowe's are all within a 15-minute drive. And, if you work in Knoxville, but don't want to live in a larger city, with its traffic issues, this home is 36 miles from Knoxville. A home site with views like this would cost you two times the amount of money in Knoxville. Cherokee Lake views, one acre of land, no HOA, rural farmland, close to town, newer home. It checks all the boxes. Live the Cherokee Lake Life!
