Home & GardenWhere To Build
Joe and his wife were recently in Tennessee visiting potential homesites for their future log home. He has compiled a summary of his findings. If you are interested in buying lake property in Tennessee -- or you're simply exploring the option of buying or building a log home near a lake -- then I'm sure you will find some valuable information here.
Looking for lake property in Tennessee? Did you know that lake FRONT doesn't necessarily mean lake ACCESS in Tennessee? The thick perimeter of land surrounding every major waterway in this state is technically owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or the Tennessee Valley Authority. As a result, they dictate what you can and cannot do on that piece of property between your house and the lake.
We're down but not out! After a year spent securing the land, finding a log home builder, designing the blueprints, and saving money to build the log home of our dreams, we had a minor setback when we learned that we couldn't build our log home for under $160/SF. Now we're gearing up for Round Two in the log home building process. See what we're planning now...
When we bought our property on Dale Hollow Lake, we wondered just how much snow would fall in that area during the winter months. Dale Hollow Lake is a couple hours north of Nashville, and a tad east -- it's fairly close to 'the plateau'. So yesterday morning, we hopped in the car to check out the freshly fallen snow on our property.
