And, NO state income tax & low property taxes! When gas is $7 in California, it's half that in East TN! This home was sold in July. Health issues have now required the new owners stay in Illinois to be with family. Purchased as their retirement home it is now for sale again, and as they said, “hopefully what was to be our dream home will be enjoyed by another family as their dream home.” How do we define a location as a Paradise setting? 172' of Cherokee Lakefront property?
