Charting a new course

For some, a home perched on a nationally acclaimed golf course is the picture-perfect location. Others prefer a house nestled in the woods with views of distant mountains. At the new Black Creek Mountain development, you can have both – all within a six-minute drive of downtown.

“There’s nothing else like it in Chattanooga – it’s not a subdivision, it’s a destination,” says Rainbow Russell, marketing director for Dock Street Communities.

Formerly called Cummings Cove, several homes already hug the edges of Black Creek’s golf course, regularly named one of the best residential courses in America by Golfweek. Late 2011, the development changed hands and names, and this month marks the opening of sales for its newest custom home golf course lots, Dry Branch.

“The lots sit on a hillside overlooking the course and the views are absolutely gorgeous,” says Russell.

With home lots spanning an acre or more, lush forests act as nature’s privacy curtain. On either side verdant mountains rise in the distance; the golf course a soft green carpet meandering through the trees. While these won’t be the first custom homes built on Black Creek golf course, they will be the last. The lots will start in the $140s.
