Beautiful Tennessee Mountain Land Property

Ocoee Ridge is a new private gated community that overlooks the Cherokee National Forrest in Tennessee. This mountain property is located in the southeastern part of Tennessee in Polk County. The county is divided into three parts with the National forest running through the middle. There is three rivers that run through our county, the Ocoee, Hiwassee, and the Conasauga. The Ocoee river is known for white water rafting and was the site of the 96 Olympics. The Conasauga river has been identified as one of the cleanest rivers in the south. The Hiwassee river is best known for fly fishing. Each of these rivers are minutes away from Ocoee Ridge's property.

This Mountain land development is one of the first large mountain ranges that you will see traveling north from Florida. Ocoee Ridge's Mountain Property elevation is 1,100 feet above sea level. Our property looks directly into Big Frog Mountain elevation 4,186, Chilowee Mountain elevation 3,012, and Sugar loaf Mountain elevation 1,646. Each of these mountains are in the Tennessee Cherokee National forest.

At the base of these Tennessee Mountains is Parksville Lake. The lake has 50 miles of shore line, 7.5 miles long and is 2,000 acres in size.. The locals and tourist enjoy recreational boating and fishing on the crystal clear water. Kings slew boat ramp on Parksville Lake is just two miles away from Ocoee Ridge's gated entrance.

Ocoee Ridge's Tennessee mountain land covenants are simple but have a few particular points. The exterior design must have a rustic cabinish design. To produce this theme there is no brick allowed in the development property. The foundation must be stack stone. Siding can be cedar shake, lap, board and batten or any other material that achieves a natural style home. Our property has a 1800 sf building minimum first floor, and a 2200 sf for homes with a second level.

One issues for any new land or property owner is land taxes. The land tax on Polk County Tennessee property is 2.99%. Example: a piece of land or property with a home in Polk County Tennessee valued at $400,000, take 25 % = $100,000 x 2.99% = $2,990 is your annual Polk County Tennessee land and property tax. Compare land and property tax in Polk County Tennessee to land and property taxes in Florida. In Florida a tax rate of 2%, land and property tax's would be $8,000 using $400,000 as a value. There would be a savings of $5,010 per year. On a 20 year bank note you would save $100,200 living in Ocoee Tennessee compared to Florida.

Ocoee is a small community. We have a few small restaurants and shops that are family ran. For a larger selection of restaurants and shops Cleveland Tennessee is 20 minutes away, Chattanooga is 40 minutes away and Atlanta is 2 hours away.

We have a lot to offer at Ocoee Ridge. I think it would be worth your time to see if Ocoee Rige is right for you.
