Lot 138 Baye Road, Rutledge, TN 37861 - Grainger County

OWNERS OF THIS PROPERTY HAVE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO DROP THE SALES PRICE ANOTHER $6,000! YOU WILL NOT FIND A PARCEL OF LAND WITH A BETTER VIEW OF CHEROKEE LAKE AT THIS PRICE!The owners chose this spot to build their forever home. They applied for a septic system permit with the State of Tennessee and received it. They hired a crew to clear the land of all brush and tree growth and prepare the lot for building. Photos displayed show the amount of growth that was on the lot before clearing. A second photo shows the result once the land was cleared. In other words, they have spent thousands of dollars to do what needs to be done before breaking ground. Their loss will be the new owners' gain. But, in life, as we all know, stuff happens, and plans change. So, this family's loss can be your gain. They sincerely hope that the family that settles on this parcel of land will enjoy it as much as they would have.Lot 138, at .78 of an acre, is a large parcel of land for this community and totally cleared. Clearing and removing all the debris created by the fallen trees, and brush, on a lot of this size, costs thousands of dollars. If you've ever had a large tree taken down, you know exactly what we are referring to. This writer had ONE tree taken down in my backyard and it cost over $2,000. Which was the lowest estimate received. And receiving a septic system permit from the State will remove any doubt as to whether the land you are purchasing is suitable for building a home. Without a permit, you cannot build a home in Tennessee. Lot 138 is prepped, approved, and ready to build today!The home site has enough elevation where the designed home will have wonderful views of Cherokee Lake. But, without the steepness that would create accessibility issues as you see with Norris or Douglas Lake lots. This lakeview property is not lakefront, but you can WALK across the street to Cherokee Lake. And within 9 miles you can find 8 boat launch sites and 5 marinas to keep your boat year-round.
