Its been awhile since I was in that area. But, your right it is (or aleast was) mostly farm land. Nice area.

It is a nice area.
There used to be a very small mobile home park at the corner of Cherry Creek Rd. and Phifer Mtn. Rd.(just off hwy. 70) but I believe they are in the process of moving what few that are left out. They may already be gone.

Other than that very beautiful. Road goes into White County about 3-4 miles off of hwy. 70.

The county's alternative school is also located right off Cherry Creek Road. Its principal is an old friend of mine.

I looooove that part of Putnam County. Cherry Creek Road is one of the most beautiful roads around, same goes for Hwy 70 and Phifer Mountain Road. There used to be a very nice furniture shop down Cherry Creek Road, a small mom-and-pop place that made its own furniture using cherry wood grown right there on their farm. I'm not sure if it's still there or not.

At any rate, yes that is a VERY desirable area, in my opinion. And it's only a few miles from I-40, and so far the big beautiful farms haven't been subdivided and developed.

I have to agree. Of all the locations you have asked about B-2, Cherry Creek is the nicest area.

I really like the views in the area, flat with Mountain Views (Big Hills As per JMT) . Good place to build a house close to town. I will need to come there take a look around. I sure did miss the boat by not going and looking around SE of Cookeville. After working for the U.S.A.F. for 35 years I'm going to need a little piece of land in TN and that great view.

If/when I ever get to live in Cookeville, the Cherry Creek/Dry Valley area is definitely on my list of places to investigate. It is absolutely gorgeous, and it definitely has the mountain (big hill) views you want while still being just a few minutes from town.

Let us know how it goes for you. Good luck!

Be very, very careful. The building codes are NOT enforced in the Cookeville area. Make sure you get a home inspector BEFORE you buy! Purchased a new house and made the mistake of not having it inspected before, but within the warranty time-but the Codes Department has NO authority to enforce the Codes...??? Can you believe it? Their advice is to get an Attorney. So you not only pay for the new house, but you have to pay again to have the work corrected. Haven't yet figured out why the Codes department people are paid, if they can't enforce their own rules.....Interestingly our house was inspected by the Codes department and approved before move in....Be very, very careful! Don't believe their words-make sure the codes are followed BEFORE you sign the final paperwork!!!! Don't trust the real estate agents-they don't know the codes!
