Location and Setting Overview
Tranquil Lake Tansi Retreat:
This 0.6-Acre parcel lies along the quiet stretch of Seneca Trail in the Seminole Tansi Resort subdivision, part of the Lake Tansi community in Cumberland County, Tennessee. The property sits among tall hardwoods and gentle rolling terrain, giving you that peaceful forest feel while remaining connected to paved roads and nearby amenities. The balance here is rare-seclusion without isolation. You'll hear the wind in the trees before you hear a car.
Accessible Yet Peaceful:
The lot offers power at the road and community water access nearby, making it an easy start for anyone planning to build a home or retreat cabin. You can reach downtown Crossville in about 15 minutes for shopping, dining, and services, yet return home to a property where evenings are quiet and starlight replaces streetlights. With an elevation just under 2,000 feet, the air here stays crisp, and summers are milder than much of Tennessee's lowland heat.
Heart of the Cumberland Plateau:
This part of Tennessee is defined by its ridges, lakes, and forested hills-an environment that draws people looking to slow down and reconnect with the outdoors. Lake Tansi itself is the largest community in Cumberland County, known for its combination of small-town friendliness and outdoor recreation. Here, you can enjoy both the independence of owning land and the convenience of an established resort community.
Lake Tansi Resort Lifestyle
A Community Built Around Nature and Water:
As part of the Lake Tansi Property Owners Association, you'll have access to an impressive range of amenities that bring resort-style living to your doorstep. The lake system-anchored by Lake Tansi-offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and boating, all surrounded by walking paths and picnic areas. Residents and visitors alike enjoy the beach area, marina, and pavilions where families gather for barbecues and sunset views.
Recreation for All Seasons:
The community includes a championship golf course, clubhouse, fitness center, mini-golf, outdoor pool, and indoor recreation complex-so whether you're swimming in summer or enjoying a round of golf on a mild winter day, you'll never run out of ways to unwind. Tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and year-round community events keep Lake Tansi active and welcoming to both full-time residents and weekend travelers.
Tennessee's Hidden Mountain Gem:
Despite its amenities, Lake Tansi maintains the charm of a natural retreat. The winding roads follow the terrain's gentle contours, and many properties-like this one-back onto wooded areas that keep privacy intact. You'll often spot deer, songbirds, and the occasional wild turkey crossing the quiet roads in the early morning light.
Nearby Nature and Recreation
Gateway to Cumberland Mountain State Park:
Just 18 minutes away, Cumberland Mountain State Park spreads over 1,700 acres of forest and water, offering hiking, camping, and fishing opportunities for all experience levels. The park's Byrd Lake is a favorite spot for paddle boating and shoreline picnics, while the surrounding trails wind through hemlock forests and sandstone bluffs. It's one of Tennessee's best-kept secrets-a place where you can spend an afternoon exploring waterfalls or a full weekend under the stars.
Outdoor Adventures in Every Direction:
Within an hour's drive, you can reach multiple state natural areas, scenic overlooks, and hidden swimming holes throughout the Cumberland Plateau. The region's geography-marked by caves, gorges, and waterfalls-makes it ideal for hiking, photography, and quiet reflection. Whether you prefer casting a line, following a trail, or just sitting with your morning coffee surrounded by trees, the area makes it easy to stay outdoors and grounded.
A Lifestyle Measured in Quiet Moments:
Here, mornings might start with mist rising from the trees and the distant call of a heron over the lake. Evenings bring soft breezes and the glow of fireflies. It's not just about owning land-it's about finding a space that reminds you of what matters most: calm, simplicity, and connection to nature.
Development and Property Details
Ready for Your Plans:
With power lines along Seneca Trail and water service available from the South Cumberland Utility District, this parcel provides the essentials for an easy build. A septic system would need to be installed, as with most residential lots in the region. The gently rolling terrain allows flexibility for home placement while preserving mature trees for shade and privacy.
Residential Zoning:
Zoned Residential, the property allows for single-family homes with a minimum build size of 1,200 square feet. The Lake Tansi POA maintains community standards that protect property values while ensuring the area retains its natural character. Camping, RVs, and mobile homes are not permitted, which helps maintain the quiet, well-kept feel of the neighborhood.
Low Carrying Costs:
Annual property taxes are approximately $14 per year, and HOA dues remain affordable compared to most resort communities. For anyone considering long-term ownership, that means you can hold the property affordably while you design your build or simply enjoy it as part of your investment portfolio.
Investment and Ownership Appeal
A Balance of Privacy and Access:
This property hits the sweet spot between comfort and escape-close enough to modern conveniences, yet quiet enough to feel like a true retreat. With so many resort communities losing their rural feel, Lake Tansi remains one of the few places where you can still hear the woods, see the stars, and be at a restaurant in ten minutes.
Owner Financing Available:
Flexible owner financing makes it easy to get started on your Tennessee land ownership journey:
Total Money Down: $599 ($349 down payment + $250 closing cost)
Monthly: $369/Month for 43 months
This lets you secure your piece of the Lake Tansi lifestyle without the need for large upfront costs or complicated approvals.
Growing Regional Demand:
The Cumberland Plateau region has seen steady demand from buyers seeking affordable land with access to lakes, golf, and small-town living. Crossville's reputation as the “Golf Capital of Tennessee” and its proximity to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville make it a convenient base for both retirement and recreation. With limited inventory in Lake Tansi's wooded sections, properties like this one continue to gain appeal.
