Cherokee Lake cabin on nearly one acre in the gated Chelaque community of Mooresburg with approximately 144 feet of shoreline, a private no-maintenance dock, and sweeping Cherokee Lake views from the back deck. Priced at $499,900, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom log-sided cabin is one of the most affordable waterfront properties on Cherokee Lake.

If you have ever pictured yourself waking up to lake views, stepping onto a large back deck with coffee in hand, and having your boat in the water before most people are out of bed, this is that place. The cabin sits on a quiet cul-de-sac inside Chelaque, and the way the lot is shaped, you feel like you are tucked into your own little peninsula with water wrapping around you on multiple sides. The aerial photos show exactly what that means: green trees, open water, and one of the most private settings on Cherokee Lake you will find at this price point.

Inside, the main level features an open-concept living room and kitchen with tongue-and-groove knotty pine walls and ceilings throughout, vaulted ceilings with ceiling fans, hardwood floors, a kitchen island, and sliding glass doors that open directly to the back deck overlooking the lake. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, oak cabinetry, and a window above the sink with a view of the yard. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are on the main level, with laundry connections on both the main level and the lower level. The lower level is partially finished and partially unfinished, giving a future owner real options: finish it as a bunkroom, game room, extra storage, or a workshop. A single-car garage is built in at ground level.

The back deck is large, faces the lake, and is where you will spend most of your time. From there, a gentle slope takes you down to the shoreline and your private dock. The lot has roughly 144 feet of Cherokee Lake frontage, and the dock is already in place with no maintenance required, which matters more than people realize once they own lake property. Chelaque HOA dues are $690 per year. High-speed internet is available, which makes this a legitimate full-time or remote-work option, not just a weekend cabin. The Green Tomato Grill is about 5 miles away for a local dinner out, and grocery stores are approximately 7.5 miles from the property.
