In 2014, the Sellers, Mr. & Mrs. “Retiring Mechanical Engineers”, and yes, both are Mechanical Engineers, took a trip to TN, fell in love with the Cherokee Lake area, and started looking for their ‘’dream house”. After much searching & researching, they found IT.
However, as engineers tend to do, they took a very nice lake house, and took it to the next level. A 30 x 40 covered dock, with composite decking, a stainless-steel cable system with 2, 11 x 24 boat slips was built. 2 boat lifts – 1 front lift and one side lift. A 30 x 40 two story building, matching the primary home’s brick exterior, was built for storing their camper and tools. The dock cost $51,000. The building $67,000. Yes, there are receipts to confirm this. So, a very nice lake home, was transformed into an EXTREMELY NICE LAKE HOME.
But, sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, health issues kick in, and it becomes time to move on to the next chapter in one’s life. So, this EXTREMELY NICE LAKE HOME is now FOR SALE. And, affordable. Homes of this type normally sell for more than $800,000. Brick, vinyl soffit and fascia, on TWO buildings. No expensive paint maintenance required. 3 outdoor sitting decks, one with a brick/concrete bar area with granite counter. Year-round lake views. 255’ lake frontage on 1.03 acres. 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. 10 closets. Additional rooms that can be used as studies or offices. A fully finished basement. Two, 2 car garages. Irrigation system. Long, tree lined, concrete driveway, off Lakeshore Drive, on a dead-end county-maintained road, which adds to the exclusivity of the property.
So, if you are looking for a lake house, on a nice lot, with over an acre of land. With a phenomenal view. With lake front access and a special dock for your toys. Private but close to town. Bam!
Bottom line, if its good enough for a couple of extremely detailed Mechanical Engineers, it may just be good enough for your family.
Some equity, serious, qualified offers will be considered.

As a Realtor, I have visited the majority of the homes in the Mallard Baye Cherokee Lake community. Yes, even the million-dollar homes.

There are bigger lots, bigger homes, BUT if you are looking for a new house that is quality built, impeccable, gorgeous, and will take your breath away, THIS IS IT!

A fabulous deck with composite flooring, tongue & groove ceilings, and heavy-duty PVC columns and rails. All of this on a lake front lot, with a covered aluminum dock and composite decking for your boat and jet skis.
Walk inside, and a rock fireplace, reaching the highest point of the ceilings greets you. And high ceilings this home has. Complimenting the stonework is a staircase which was hand built by the owners at a cost of $10,000 plus. The craftsmanship is unparalleled. Everything in this home is “Top of The Line”. Granite countertops. KraftMaid cabinets. Bruce Hardwood floors. Porcelain tiles. A bit of hypoallergenic carpet. French Doors. Large windows with spectacular views of the lake. 36-inch doorways. Rot resistant door jams.

Just about everything conveys with this home except for the boats, mowing equipment, tools, some personal belongings, and the owners. The owners don’t convey. LOL.

Lot 162 was chosen by the family when the subdivision was still red clay and the remains of a family farm, because of the spectacular views of Hole 6, the pond, and Hole 7 – the signature hole of Patriot Hills. The home was designed, and placed, so that whether you are preparing a meal, dining, or sitting on the deck, you can view the sunrise in the morning, and the sunset in the evening, while watching a game of golf.
