Property Description
Welcome to Lot 52 at Ripshin Lake—an exceptional .84-acre lakefront property in one of East Tennessee's private and pristine mountain lake communities. At over 3,500 feet elevation in the Roan Highlands and bordered by the Cherokee National Forest, this rare offering delivers sweeping lake views, private water access and a peaceful natural setting just minutes from the Appalachian Trail. As part of Ripshin Lake Corporation, ownership includes the private lot and an equal share of corporate stock—providing collective ownership of the lake, surrounding land and common resources. A $63,000 equity membership is required and may be financed over a 5-year period. This unique structure supports the community's long-standing commitment to conservation, recreation and multi-generational enjoyment. Only five lakeside lots were included in this limited expansion membership release, and Lot 52 stands out with underground electrical conduit installed by Mountain Electric—making it easier to build your dream retreat. The community recently completed dam and infrastructure upgrades to ensure compliance with state and federal standards, securing long-term lake safety and sustainability. Established in 1958, Ripshin Lake remains one of the highest-elevation private lakes in the eastern U.S., offering year-round beauty and four-season outdoor recreation. Whether you're looking to fish, kayak, hike nearby trails—including the Appalachian Trail—or simply relax in nature, this property is an exceptional canvas for your future mountain getaway.
