0.86 acres in Putnam County, Tennessee

0.86 acres of wooded ground on a hillside, in The Bluffs at Cumberland Cove.

Trees on the parcel and trees on the neighbors’, protected by covenant, nobody can clear-cut around you, and half the existing timber stays by rule.

Homes are already built on this road. Private road maintained. Icy Cove Park Trailhead is right there for hiking straight from the neighborhood.

The ground falls away. That’s the character of this parcel, and it shapes what you’d build here.

What the slope means for your design

The soil survey puts this parcel at 20 to 30 percent grade. You’ll feel it walking it.

That matters in a practical way: it narrows where the house pad and the drain field can sit, and it means your plans need a builder who’s worked a hillside before. Not every builder has.

It also means something else. Hillside sites give you a walk-out lower level and downhill sightlines that flat lots on this road don’t have. Bring your builder out and let him tell you what’s possible; he’ll know within one visit.

That’s the honest trade. Harder to build on, more interesting once it’s built.

What’s already handled

Public electricity. The county assessor confirms it. No solar array, battery bank, generator, or months of waiting for a utility to run a line. Ask the utility for a connection quote for your specific site before you close.

No flood zone. FEMA Zone X. Zero percent of this parcel sits in a flood hazard area. No flood insurance requirement.

Established road. Homes already standing, road maintained, neighbors already here.

What you can build

• One single-family home with a 1,500 sq ft minimum of heated space.
• Up to three enclosed outbuildings. Pool, fence or pond with committee approval.
• A home business inside the house. Dogs and cats.
• Setbacks are 40 feet in front and 20 feet on the other sides.

Before you close

No soil evaluation is on file for this parcel, and TDEC approval is required before a building permit is issued. There’s no public water or sewer you’d need a well and septic.

Homes on this road run their own septic. So it’s been done here. On a slope like this one it needs confirming.

The price??

$25,500 cash. Reduced.

Land around here isn’t cheap anymore. Comparable parcels on nearby streets ask considerably more around $50,000.

Two reasons this one is lower.

The slope. It’s the harder build, and the price reflects it. What you save on the land goes toward the foundation work, and you end up with a hillside home instead of another flat-lot house.

Cash only. No financing, which removes most buyers shopping this area right now. Fewer buyers, lower numbers. That’s the whole mechanism.

The Title Company will handle closing. Buyer pays all closing costs.

$500 earnest money deposit secures the lot.
