0.32 acres in Putnam County, Tennessee

Explore 918 Clay Avenue, a parcel on Clay Avenue with existing homes nearby and an adjoining parcel also available.

“Where exactly is it?”

Clay Avenue, in Cookeville proper. Not out on a county road somewhere.

Cookeville Regional Medical Center is around the corner. West End Park and the whole Cane Creek complex park, lake, SportsPlex, gymnasium, recreation center are minutes out. Highway 70N and Highway 24 put you on the road quickly.

The street is built up. Houses on the surrounding lots, public road frontage, mail already running down it.

“What’s the ground actually like?”

Cleared and level.

That’s the part worth sitting with. Most parcels at this price come with trees, and trees mean a clearing bill, stump removal, hauling and grading before you do anything else at all.

This one has none of that waiting for you. What you see when you walk it is what you get.

0.32 acres, the larger of the two parcels I have on this street.

“What’s already there?”

• Public water serving the area
• Public sewer in place nearby
• Power running along Clay Avenue
• Gas available in the neighborhood
• Clay Avenue public street frontage

No well to drill. No septic to perc. No utility extension application sitting in a queue for six months.

“What does it cost me beyond the price?”

No HOA confirmed on this parcel, so no dues, no committee, no architectural review board.

Compare it to what else is out there

Wooded parcels in this area are asking around $70,000 and those come with trees on them. That means clearing, stump removal, hauling and grading before anything else can happen. Thousands of dollars and weeks of work.

This one is $30,997. Reduced.

Cleared. Level. Utilities available. Homes on the surrounding lots.

Under half the price, and the expensive prep work is already done.

Cash purchase, so no note, no interest, no monthly payment. You pay once and it’s finished.

“Why this parcel over another?”

Three reasons, plainly.

It’s cleared; you’re not paying to make ground usable before you can use it.

It’s in town; utilities, road, neighbors and the county’s largest employer are already here. You’re not betting on a neighborhood arriving.

It’s the bigger of the pair, 0.32 acres against the 0.23 next door. With the same 25-foot front and 10-foot side setbacks, the extra ground becomes usable room.

One more thing worth knowing

934 Clay Avenue, 0.23 acres, sits right beside it.

Take both and you hold 0.55 acres side by side on the same street with the same utilities in one transaction, one title fee, one survey trip.

Two separate parcels, so you keep your options open on what happens with each.

They’re likely to go to different buyers. If you want the pair, say so before that happens.
