One of the most historic counties in northeast Tennessee is Johnson County, which is home to major tourist attractions such as the Hi-Lo Adventure Trail, Snake 421 Motorcycle Ride, American Viticulture Area, Doe Mountain, and Watauga Lake.
Watauga Lake, in particular, is famous in the US for being the third cleanest lake in the entire country! And here’s another perk: there are plenty of lots available in the Butler area for residential development, especially the Harbor Subdivision. Why is it worth building your next home in the Harbor Subdivision? Let us count the ways!
Easy Access to Lake Watauga
One of the biggest reasons to build your next home at the Harbor Subdivision is the fact it’s right next to Watauga Lake itself, complete with boat ramp access. This is perfect for swimmers, fishermen, boat owners, and residents who enjoy watersports like jet skiing and water skiing.
In case you’re wondering about what makes Watauga Lake the third cleanest lake in America, here’s a little fun fact: Watauga Lake is actually a man-made lake that was built between 1942 and 1946 by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), with some disruption in construction due to the American war efforts during World War II.
Watauga Lake was also made on top of the original Butler town that existed prior to the modern incarnation located just a few miles away. So in addition to enjoying a relaxing day near the water, there’s also a ghost town hidden underneath the lake’s depths!
Easy Access to Cherokee National Forest
Another major reason you should build your next home in the Harbor Subdivision of Butler, Tennessee is the easy access to the nearby Cherokee National Forest. As one of the protected forests in America, Cherokee National Forest is wonderful for outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, camping, horseback riding, or even just enjoying a stroll completely surrounded by nature.
For hikers and campers, Cherokee National Forest has overnight accommodations in 30 designated camping grounds, complete with bathhouses, tables, and electricity. For enthusiastic hikers and walkers, Cherokee National Forest has over 600 miles of trails. There are also trails and backcountry roads designated for horseback riders. As a fun bonus, the forest is rich with wildlife, complete with bears, deer and wild turkeys!
Perfect Blend of Nature with Modern Accommodations
One last reason you should build your next home at the Harbor Subdivision is that it has the peaceful tranquillity of the open outdoors with some modern accommodations. Apart from being near Watauga Lake and Cherokee National Forest, the Harbor Subdivision is also near Appalachian and Virginia Creeper Trails, as well as the Bristol Raceway. The Harbor Subdivision is also situated near a paved road, complete with underground utilities for each of the individual lots. Residents also don’t have to concern themselves with city tax, state income tax, or retirement income tax.
