1007 Wilderness Drive

Notes from the listing agent

Life at 1007 Wilderness Drive starts the way lake life should: trees overhead and water within reach. Tucked into Chelaque Estates on Cherokee Lake, this 1.41-acre wooded homesite sits near the end of a quiet paved cul-de-sac, the kind of street where mornings start slow and the loudest sound most days is a boat gliding through the water. This is a lot with a story still to tell. It's steeper toward the water than some of its neighbors, and that's exactly what makes it worth a second look: clear the right trees along the right sightline and you're looking at long, open views over Cherokee Lake instead of a neighbor's roofline. Because the lot is eligible for a TVA dock permit, the lake isn't just scenery, it's an invitation. Morning coffee at the water's edge. Afternoons pulling the boat out from your own dock. Evenings watching the light shift over the ridgeline as the day winds down. Chelaque Estates wraps all of it in an established, gated lake community: a boat ramp and marina for the days you don't feel like hitching up the trailer, a clubhouse and picnic pavilion for gatherings, pickleball and basketball courts right in the neighborhood. HOA dues run $690 a year, a small price for a community built entirely around the water. This is a lot for someone who wants to design their own answer to lake living: a home that steps down the hillside toward the shoreline, a great room with a wall of glass facing the water, a private dock at the bottom of the yard. Bring your builder and start with the view. Restricted to site built homes only with a minimum of 1400 sq ft finished. Electric and high speed internet at the road; well and septic are needed.
