Private cove with a private boat launch - on Cherokee Lake. This well-built, one-owner home sits on 2.76 wooded acres along a quiet cove, offering the kind of direct, private waterfront access that's increasingly rare on Cherokee Lake. In summer the tree cover is so complete you won't see a single neighboring house from the property -- just water and woods. Down your own access ramp to the water you'll find a floating dock with new planks and an active dock permit -- so you can boat, fish, and kayak from day one. Above, an expansive wraparound deck (newly updated in 2026) looks out over the water and a wooded backdrop full of wildlife. The back half of the property is forested, with a drivable pathway running up to the topmost section. This pathway has been left to go ferrel but can be easily re-cleared for truck access. A previous owner kept a large garden and fruit trees in this area -- ready to be reclaimed as a garden, a recreation space, or simply your own private green space. Inside, the main level offers three bedrooms including a private primary suite, two full baths, a large family room, and a formal dining room. The kitchen features custom cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, double wall ovens, a pantry, and a bright breakfast area. Original hardwood floors run throughout, and main-level laundry (washer and dryer convey) adds everyday ease. The newly finished lower level (2026) adds about 606 square feet and a third full bath -- ideal as a rec room, home office, guest suite, or multi-generational space. During the renovation the basement's cinder-block walls were professionally refinished and sealed before framing and drywall, so it's finished with real attention to detail. Move-in confidence comes standard: new roof and gutters (2023), gas water heater and furnace, a side-entry two-car garage, low-maintenance brick-and-vinyl exterior, a security camera system, and a storage shed for lake toys -- all convey. Just minutes from downtown Jefferson City and Carson-Newman University, and less than an hour to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. Whether you want a full-time home, a weekend lake retreat, or a place to make family memories, this is a rare mix of private waterfront, quality construction, and location.
