Just in time for the new owners to have the lake back up this year! Starlink Internet is available! This remarkable lake cabin is located in a gated lake community tucked away in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee abutting the Cherokee National forest. Surrounded by rhododendrons and mature trees, you will find plenty of privacy and parking for guests, a two car carport and a drive through driveway. .. no more backing out! This home is nearly ready to be completely off-the-grid with an entire home propane powered generator, propane range, propane wall heaters, and propane refrigerator! This home also comes with well water and a three filter filtration system. The plumbing has been updated to PEX as well. The home is insulated extremely well and will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
