Take Lula Lake Road south 13.5 miles from its intersection with Red Riding Hood; driveway on left.

When former Chattanooga Coca-Cola bottling magnate Jack Lupton was assembling a wooded retreat on Lookout Mountain in the 1980s, he is said to have stocked its lakes with bass.

But rather than use small fish, the wealthy Lupton brought in a special strain of 2-pounders, said Chattanooga real estate broker Henry Glascock. Recently, someone landed an 11-pound bass in one of the two lakes on the tract, he said.

A 235-acre parcel, including the lakes, is up for sale in an absolute auction today at 11 a.m.

Plans are to sell the Walker County, Ga., property as a whole or in tracts ranging from five acres and larger, said Glascock of Henry B. Glascock Co., which is working with broker David DeVaney of NAI Charter Real Estate Co. The site is about 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga off Highway 157.
