What should I check before buying land?

Confirm legal road access, utilities (or the cost to bring them in), whether the soil will support a septic system, flood zone and slope, zoning and any deed restrictions, and a current survey. Each can change what the land is worth to you.

Can I build on any lot I buy?

Not automatically. Septic approval, setbacks, floodplain rules and local permitting all apply. Ask before you make an offer, and make the contract contingent on what you need to verify.

Are there special rules near Norris Lake?

Lake-adjacent property can involve Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) shoreline rules and dock permits. Check what applies to the specific parcel before you buy. We can help you find who to ask.

Yes. Missy Sanders and the team help buyers and sellers with land, acreage and farms across Anderson County and East Tennessee.
