About this home

Build your East Tennessee escape on this 0.4 acre lot in Ocoee Mountain Club, a small community tucked in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in Polk County, TN. Public water, electric and sewer are at the road. There is 104 ft of paved frontage, and the lot carries a FEMA Zone X rating (minimal flood risk), a rare combination for a mountain homesite this close to the water. This is Ocoee River country. Ocoee Mountain Club sits on the edge of the Cherokee National Forest, 650,000 acres of Blue Ridge wilderness, and less than 10 miles from Lake Ocoee (Parksville Lake), the oldest man-made lake in the forest, fed by the river that hosted the 1996 Olympic whitewater events. Inside the national forest, the Benton Falls Trail at Chilhowee Recreation Area is an easy 1.5 mile hike to a 65 foot waterfall, with miles of mountain biking and mountain overlooks along the way. For anglers, the Hiwassee River is the real draw, a TWRA stocked, tailwater trout fishery below the Apalachia Dam and Powerhouse, with the John Muir National Recreation Trail tracing the riverbank for those who'd rather hike than cast. Locals will tell you it's one of the few rivers where you can catch warm water fish and trout in the same afternoon. Ocoee Mountain Club keeps ownership simple. Annual HOA dues cover road maintenance (the HOA owns the roads) and free use of the community clubhouse, with a multipurpose court and more amenities planned. Roughly 20 miles to Cleveland, 30 to Chattanooga, and an easy weekend drive from Knoxville or Atlanta. South Polk Elementary is 1.7 miles away. Whether you're planning a full time home or a weekend getaway, this is a ready to build lot in one of Polk County's most outdoor oriented communities. Bring your builder and your fly rod.
