The RAREST of opportunities: a South Holston Lakefront home- especially on the "Tennessee End"- of this most beautiful of all TVA impoundments! At the back of calm Friendship Cove - where Sharp's Creek enters the lake- this year-round home has likely the most gently-sloping yard to the water to be found anywhere on this lake! 1,988 square feet on 2 levels. .. main level features 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, laundry hookups, Living Room and eat-in Kitchen (with newer white appliances just installed!), HeatPump, lots of insulated glass, and a 7 x 16 open deck. Lower level is mostly finished- perfect for bunkbeds!- and exits onto a 7 x 16 brick-floored screened patio porch. Fresh paint inside and out! A few steps down to your stationary pier dock! A big plus: you're not on the busy main channel of the lake, so your boats and your land don't take a beating from the waves and winds! Gentle, grassy shoreline at full Summer Pool level. And the sun sets directly out the mouth of the cove in front of you!!! In the Winter the lake draws-down and partly exposes Sharp's Creek. .. .and all the trout that are in it! Not to mention the thousands of acres of Cherokee National Forest- with its fishing, hunting, The Appalachian Trail, camping, hiking, biking, and horse trails- they're all behind this place! This house and the newly surveyed . 85 acre tract also hold tremendous potential for modification, expansion, or even starting over! The fabulous lot alone is worth the asking price!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

R-1
Low Density/Single-Family Residential District
These districts are designed to provide suitable areas for single-family residential development within areas that are predominantly characterized by low-density suburban residential development. Residential development consists of single-family detached dwellings and other accessory structures thereto. The intensity of development permitted within these districts is directly related to the availability of public water service and sewage capabilities. These districts also include community facilities, public utilities, and open uses that serve specifically the residents of these districts, or that are benefited by an open residential environment without creating objectionable or undesirable influences upon residential developments. It is the express purpose of this resolution to exclude from these districts all buildings or other structures and uses having commercial characteristics, whether operated for profit or otherwise, except that uses on review, with supplementary provision and home occupations specifically provided by these regulations for these districts shall be considered as not having such characteristics if they otherwise conform to the provisions of this resolution.
