I'm looking to retire to Eastern Tennessee. That will happen in 4 years. I'll be 54 years old. Employment, schools, and some other issues aren't a concern for me as they may be for younger people with families. I am concerned about the overall cost of living, the weather and the area I'll be living in. Anywhere I go must be NFA item friendly, which I read is happening more and more in Tennessee.
I would like a modest home that is secluded. I'd like the home nestled in a wooded area with privacy from neighbors. Despite the seclusion I desire, I enjoy convenience. I've done some research of the Bristol/Jefferson City/Tri-Cities area. The convenience of a close Walmart, Lowe's and plenty of restaurants had me liking those areas better than the Telico Plains area where it seemed the conveniences were further away.
It seems the Jefferson City area has temperatures that are generally a few degrees cooler in the summer than Maryville or some of the other areas I'm considering. I don't golf, fish or do much else. I like nice views, walking in the woods with my dogs, and enjoying the nice views in comfortable weather where I'm not always perspiring as I currently do in Florida.
Also thinking about the Cosby area. Winfield and Scott County,although being the absolute furthest to the west I'd consider, have been recommended to me as areas I would like for their affordable property and easy going quiet pace.
Thank you
