Description: Foundation-Ready Double Lot: Skip the Sitework & Build This Season!

Bypass the high cost and long wait times for excavation, filling & grading, septic system & permitting, and utility taps.

Located in beautiful Cumberland Shores, in the Canton area near Cadiz, Trigg County Kentucky; This property is an improved, wooded, lakeside building lot, with seasonal water view of Donaldson Bay, Lake Barkley.

Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake are twin lakes. Together, they form the largest inland body of water south of the Great Lakes. Between the lakes is one of the biggest national parks in the U.S.A. ("Land Between the Lakes") recreational area.

This property is actually two adjacent, standard quarter-acre building lots combined into one: Cumberland Shores lots #148 and #149 combined lots comprise about a half acre which is surrounded by generous easements on two sides. So, nothing can be built near to your house site. From your foundation site near the top of a hill, your southward & eastward views are only woods, and, because of the two wide easements, nothing can be built to change your view, including your seasonal water view of Donaldson Bay. The east facing side of your property slopes down a ravine to a dry creek bed (drainage ditch) which is part of TVA flood control. So the creek bed drainage line is surrounded by a 40 ft. easement on BOTH sides. That creates an 80 ft. wide "green belt" up the ravine along your east property line.

Looking south, at the bottom of your hill is Bayview Drive. across that street is a creek, a drainage & feeder stream of Donaldson Creek.That ground is all TVA drainage easement so cannot be built on. So, cross the street and walk the creekside path only about 100 yds. to the neighborhood boat landing.

5. ELEVATION & FLOOD SAFETY: While it is well known that lakeside properties this close to water's edge are often subject to seasonal flooding, this one is not in a Special Flood Hazard Area (No mandatory FEMA flood insurance required).

Historical Resilience: The building site sits at approximately 380 ft. elevation. Even during the record lake level of 2011 (372.5), the building site remained 7.5 feet above the water level, ensuring long-term safety and accessibility.

This property is legally titled as two adjacent quarter-acre building lots with septic system, Cadiz city water & electrical service pole, weatherhead & hookup already installed. The property was perc tested & certified by Trigg County Health Dept. in 2008; septic tank, pipes & field installed in 2008.

This land has been partly developed. 1. flat building site machine cut & leveled. 2. 16 - 4ft.deep concrete foundation footers poured. enough concrete hollow blocks already onsite to lay multi-course foundation walls or 16 foundation columns. 3. Curved & gently rising driveway machine cut, banked and graded, from Bayview Drive up to your foundation site. 4. Cadiz city water with pipes to foundation ready to turn on. 5. official percolation test passed & certified. sewer septic tank, pipes and drain field installed new in 2008 & never used. 5. electric cables from electric company and meter already on electric pole at foundation, ready to turn on electric.

The 2 building lots, about a quarter acre each, juxtaposed together, constitute about a half acre combined. This beautiful lakeside site is one of the choicest locations on Barkley Lake. The foundation site is located on high ground. From there is seasonal lake view. There is closeby neighborhood boat landing on a finger of Donaldson Creek, a consistent fishing hotspot, especially for bass & crappie, located only 100 yards below the street front property boundary, just a couple minute walk below the property, on a path on the creek bank easement.

For bigger boats, there is also a public boat landing, Donaldson Creek Public Boat Ramp, with concrete boat ramp and spacious parking, less than 5 minutes away.

This choice site offers gorgeous natural surroundings with diverse flora & fauna (deer often in the yard), but conveniently located only about 15 minutes from downtown Cadiz Kentucky.

I cannot adequately describe the natural beauty of this place. Do your own research about Donaldson Bay, Donaldson Creek, and Lake Barkley. Look at waterfront photos and you will likely fall in love with the place. I did, and did all the preparation to live there. But in 2009, I had a career change that took me abroad.
