About This Home

As of September 2025

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly unique lake property on 2.4 unrestricted acres with direct access and stunning views of Cherokee Lake—plus your very own PRIVATE ISLAND. Yes, the island is deeded with the property and offers incredible potential for fishing, camping, kayaking, or simply enjoying your own private retreat. The property features lake frontage, and there is the possibility of building a dock for even greater access to the water. Behind the home, the land has been cleared to create a prime elevated build site with panoramic views that are simply breathtaking. The home includes a spacious primary bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace, adding charm and coziness, along with another wood-burning fireplace in the living area. The HVAC, water heater, and well pump were all replaced just four years ago, and a recent survey is available. With unrestricted land use, this property can serve as your private residence, an Airbnb, or an investment opportunity. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway, a vacation rental, or a stunning site to build your dream home, this property checks every box—private island included!!!
