The Cherokee Indians are the most well known of the early residents.  It wasn’t until the mid-1600’s that the first European settlers arrived.  In the early 1800’s, nearby Bean Station was are important stagecoach stop on the main road between New Orleans and Baltimore.  During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate forces occupied the then famous Bean’s Station Tavern.  Rogersville, our county seat, is picturesquely quaint and equally historic (Davy Crockett’s grandparents are buried there).  Daniel Boone, Henry Clay, Presidents Andrew Johnson, Andrew Jackson, and James Polk are just a few of the notable figures to have called this area home.  The Chelaque sit contains the graves of its early owners John Proffitt and Lucy Crockett Proffitt (Davy’s second cousin) and also a slave grave site.

 

 

Enjoy the Great Outdoors

Chelaque Estates is a nature lover’s dream.  Winding roads,shaded streets, and regular sightings of white-tail deer, flocks of wild turkeys, and a majestic bald eagle nesting site, are just part of the allure.  The Southern Appalachians are also home to one of the most diverse bird populations in the world.  And, with hundreds of miles of walking and hiking trails, three state parks, and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, all within a short drive, there’s no end to the list of places you’ll want to explore.  

 

 

A Boater’s Delight

If you enjoy water sports, you’ll love Cherokee Lake.

Covering more than 30,000 acres the lake contains

46 species of fish including large mouth, small mouth,

stripped, and white bass, crappie.  Walleye, sauger,

bluegill, and catfish, Cherokee Lake is ideal for boating,

picnicking, water skiing, and, of course, fishing.  In

addition, there are hundreds of rivers and streams in

the area, so, for those who want to get away and go fly

fishing on a quiet mountain stream, that’s an option,

too.  Residents and property owners don’t have to go

far to find a favorite fishing site.

 

 

 

Golfing

Enjoy golf but don’t want the hassle of living on a golf course?  How about 30 golf courses within a 50 mile radius of your home?  The closest - Clinchview Golf club - is just a short drive from Chelaque and offers beautifully manicured fairways and putting greens.

 

Shopping is available locally at the College Square Mall in Morristown, while Knoxville and the vacation resort communities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are just an hour away.
