5 Lake-Access Homesites and a Brentwood Cul-de-Sac Retreat

Within the exclusive, gated community of Legacy Bay on Cherokee Lake, this 4.02±-acre parcel offers a quiet canvas for future lake life.

Legacy Bay blends nature with thoughtful amenities, including a clubhouse, covered marina, community pool, lighted tennis court, and an exercise room for everyday balance. Whether you’re planning to build now or prefer to hold onto a piece of East Tennessee for later, the setting supports both momentum and patience. It’s the kind of place where a simple walk through the trees, followed by time near the marina, can shape the rhythms of home to come.
