The development is 3500 acres with much of that in dedicated green space. Loads of wildlife. Several community lakes and ponds. Gated, golf cart friendly with reasonable restrictions. Several creeks and miles of hiking and biking trails. Found a decent realtor. Good prospect for several 50-90 acre hunting leases within walking distance. This will be where I hang my hat when my wife and I are fully retired in 3 years. The view from the road. The view looking down the road. My back yard Creek right down the road. Critters everywhere. Largest neighborhood lake. No motors allowed. Nice houses in the hood. Mine will be one of the smallest!

Knowing what you want and making the decision. +1 If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have some friends that retired to the Tellico Plains area and they love it. Jim, we looked in Tellico Plains as well. Everything we found was a difficult build and surrounded by impossibly steep bluffs. I love the Tellico Grains Bakery. This lot has good soil, few rocks and a nice level area just above the pond.
