Most of those who have bought lots at Jasper Highlands are seniors in retirement or approaching retirement who plan to make Jasper Highlands their primary residence, Thornton said. Property owners also have access to the community open air pavilion and a three-story gazebo Thornton refers to as "Gazebodacious" that also includes a swimming pool with lap lanes, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, dog park, green space and children's playground.Ĭurrent home owners association dues are $60 per month, although property owners also pay from $5 to $25 a month for fire protection by the volunteer fire department created for the new community. There just aren't any other developments that I am aware of that offer so much land with such a view in such a great part of the country."
"But from the base of our mountain, we're still only 25 minutes from Chattanooga and all that Chattanooga has to offer. "This newest Jasper Farms phase is a tranquil getaway for families interested in owning a second mountain home with easy access or for anyone looking for a restful primary residence," Thornton said. Jasper Highlands features nearly 100 miles of nature trails, including a "Huff-n-Puff Trail," that connects a number of waterfalls and other natural attractions and offers views of the nearby Tennessee River, Nickajack Lake and surrounding valleys below.
Besides roaring waterfalls, you don't hear anything – not even distant traffic in the valley below." "When you walk this property, you notice how quiet and calm it is," Thornton said. Nearly half of the new lots will feature bluff views overlooking the largely undeveloped Sequatchie Valley and other mountain ridges in and around Jasper Highlands. Lots range from one to seven acres and most are priced from $65,000 to $200,000, although a few choice bluff lots are priced even higher.Īs construction crews are still working to extend roads and utilities to the new lots, several properties have already been sold and developers expect that Jasper Farms will be especially appealing to those wanting bigger, more secluded lots. The 112-lot addition, Jasper Farms, features secluded bluff views, a variety of wooded lots and natural water features. To meet the growing demand for more home sites, Thornton said last week he is opening the next phase in his nearly 8,893-acre development. More than 500 residential lots atop Jasper Mountain in Marion County have been sold and nearly 100 homes are either built or being constructed in the gated community known as Jasper Highlands. After investing nearly $55 million building roads, utilities, parks and even a fire hall, developer John "Thunder" Thornton's decade-long dream of building one of Tennessee's biggest mountaintop communities is taking shape and growing along the Cumberland Plateau.
