Cades Cove, in the Great Smoky Mountains, has always been Bryan Seigler’s favorite place. The scenic mountain valley, with its natural beauty and serenity, is a model of sorts for Emerald Pointe, the development he is planning on Douglas Lake. He has set aside five acres among the 120 acres he owns for his own home.
“It’s like living in the middle of a nature preserve,” he said. “It’s Cades Cove with a lake.”
The acreage consists of a mature hardwood forest that had been in the same family for over 100 years before Seigler purchased it a few years ago.
