East Tennessee / Jefferson County
Jefferson County TN Real Estate
Jefferson County was established in 1792 by William Blount, governor of the Southwest Territory. Dandridge, the county seat, was settled in 1783 and calls itself the second oldest town in Tennessee. The county sits between Knoxville and Morristown, with Interstate 40 running right through it.
Lakes shape daily life here. Douglas Lake and Cherokee Lake wind through the county, and the shoreline is lined with boat ramps, marinas and quiet coves. Jefferson City is home to Carson Newman University, and Dandridge has a historic downtown on the water with old brick storefronts and a courthouse square.
Jefferson County works for people who want room to breathe without giving up the interstate. Small towns, farms, lake lots and newer neighborhoods all sit within a short drive of Knoxville and of the Sevier County mountains. Pick a community below to see what is for sale.

I spent a good part of my life running like a bull, only to eventually discover I was standing in a china shop. I broke a few things. Fell down more than a few times. And somewhere along the way, by the grace of God, I learned that getting back up can teach a man considerably more than never falling in the first place.
So, if you're looking for the normal Realtor bio, I should probably apologize now. This isn't one.
