My wife and I are currently building in Hawks Bluff Phase 1. We just started building our log home. I will be able to give you all the info you need. Are you looking to build a log home? I hope so, because they are really nice.
If you want you can send my an email and I might be able to lead you in the right direction. My wife and I also love it up there. We hope and plan on moving there in about 3 to 4 years, but building now based upon price.
My email address is brcomm0@bellsouth.net if you need some help.

Before you start dropping money on roads I'd suggest you check with TDEC (Tennessee Department of Environment Conservation) as to whether or not your land is suitable for division into smaller lots. Most of the larger lots in Hawk's Bluff are large because of limited suitable areas for septic systems due to shallow bedrock.

It means very little soil over solid rock. Typical soil depths in the area are 18" to 36". Anything less than 30" of consistent soil depth may cause you to have problems obtaining a septic permit. The first sections of Hawk's Bluff were divided before Van Buren county had a planning commission with the result that the subdivision as a whole was not evaluated by TDEC for septic system suitability. Instead lots are being evaluated as people apply for permits to install septic systems. If your five acres are already on five deeds then you can sell them on as-is. If they're one parcel and you have a survey showing them as five lots then you will have to take it before the planning commission, have the property mapped by a state approved soil scientist and evaluated by TDEC for septic system suitability. If you build a road it will have to be built to county specs and approved by the county.

Locals would have insisted on a guarantee that lots in that part of the county would "perk" before buying them but most of the out-of-towners didn't do that. Not sure if that was due to an unfamiliarity with the local geology or if they were mostly "city people" who have never had to deal with septic systems. They're a major issue with being able to build here.
