Gated Cherokee Lake Community | Wooded .60-Acre Lot | Build Your Lake Life in Chelaque

If you've been looking for a place to build your Cherokee Lake home inside a real community, this is it. Lot 60 in Chelaque Estates is a 0.60-acre wooded building lot on Chelaque Way E in Mooresburg, Tennessee, inside one of Cherokee Lake's most established gated neighborhoods in Hawkins County.

The lot sits at roughly 1,120 feet elevation with a mostly level building area, which is genuinely rare in a subdivision this close to the lake. The aerial photos tell the story clearly: Cherokee Lake is right there, just beyond the tree line, with that big sweeping view of open water and the rolling East Tennessee ridgeline behind it. You're not on the water, but you're surrounded by it on three sides because of how the Chelaque peninsula reaches out into the lake. That's the whole feel of this neighborhood. It's tucked in, green, quiet, and private, but the lake is everywhere you look.

The lot is wooded with a good mix of hardwoods, with natural privacy from the road and neighboring lots. The paved interior roads in Chelaque are well-maintained. Electric service and fiber internet are already at the road. The lot has previously perked for a 3-bedroom septic system, and you'll need a well and septic for utilities. Site-built homes only, with a 1,400 square foot minimum. The HOA is $690 per year, and it covers access to the community clubhouse, picnic pavilion, pickleball and basketball court, a boat ramp, and a marina where slips are available at an additional cost. That means you can be on Cherokee Lake the same weekend you close.

Chelaque is the kind of neighborhood where people build and stay. Homes here range from cabins to larger lake retreats, and the community has a real identity. If you want gated access, lake amenities, a manageable lot to build on, and Cherokee Lake out your back door, Lot 60 checks every box.
