deciding where to build

We plan to build our log home on 1.62 acres at a new lakefront development in Northern/Middle Tennessee. It's called, and we'll be one of the first to build there. Here's more...

We are going to start our search for lake property at Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley -- the northern part of Middle Tennessee, near the Kentucky/Tennessee border.

We've decided to open up our search to include West Tennessee and East Tennessee -- in addition to right here in Middle Tennessee. Actually, we're looking wherever the biggest, nicest lakes are. Here are all the lakes in Tennessee that we are exploring...

The plan is to call each of these homeowner and see if they'd be willing to sell that land to us.
