You should give the Winchester Tn. area a look. We have 3 lakes ( Normandy, Tims Ford, Woods), within 20 miles or less. Great small town living with good property prices, lots for building on Tim's or existing lake homes. Great fishing and hunting and mild weather with a definite 4 seasons. Low taxes and no state income tax. I live 2 blocks from downtown and there are lake lots and homes available out my back window. Best of luck with your search.
