Conveniently located just minutes from Downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee Knoxville, lies a quaint and often overlooked subarea known as the Holston Hills / Chilhowee area.
The Holston Hills / Chilhowee Hills area can be easily accessed from Interstate I-40 from the Asheville Highway exit and runs alongside the beautiful Holston River. Many of these homes boast beautiful historic architecture, mature landscaping, large lots, and pristine views.
Nestled in Holston Hills and running along side the scenic Holston River lays the Holston Hills Country Club which consistently ranks as one of the top 3 golf courses in the state by Golf Digest.
The Holston Hills County Club is home to an 18 hole, Donald Ross designed course and measures 7082 yards and plays to a par 72 with a slope rating of 129. The property course stretches over 150 acres of old farm land and offers great scenery but little visual golfing distractions. The County Club also features a PGA staffed pro-shop, putting range, short play area, Olympic sized pool, and several tennis courts (8 outdoor courts, 4 lighted Rubico courts, and 2 hard courts).
The Holston Hills area is perhaps Knoxville's best kept secret and is ideal for those in search of beautiful historic quality built architecture, estate like lots, city convenience with a countryside-estate feel. However, buyers better hurry as prices are currently at an all time low which creates the perfect opportunity for the sophisticated and price conscious buyer.
Pack your bags and bring your boats and golf clubs as there is no other place in Knoxville where it is possible to purchase beautiful homes, located on or near the water, that are in such close proximity a top notch County Club at these almost ridiculously low prices.
However, you better hurry as new developments are currently underway alongside the Holston River which will surely drive prices up in the Holston Hills / Chilhowee Hills area.

The other day I attended a Green Building Design class and the instructor brought up a great point. He asked for a show of hands to tell him how much a gallon of gas cost....most everyone raised their hand and knew the answer.
Then he asked how much we pay for a KWh of energy- hardly anyone raised their hand.
In East TN we are lucky to have relatively low energy costs- just about $.084 /Kwh. Other areas are not so lucky. He posed an interesting correlation, "is the green movement in East TN not that big because the energy costs are still so low?"
I am curious, what are some of the energy rates in other areas in the United States. Please share in the comment section below. Also, please comment if "Green is In" in regards to residential real estate in your area.

Knoxville TN is a great place to live. If you are looking to buy a home in Knoxville TN you need to consider getting a home inspection on your new home. If you are just starting your Knoxville home buying process make sure you go back and revisit these important first steps:
How to Buy a Home in Knoxville TN- Step 1- Secure Your Financing
How to Buy a Home in Knoxville TN-Step 2- Determining the Best Knoxville Neighborhood For You
How To Buy a Home in Knoxville, TN - Step 3 - Determining Your Wants and Needs
How to Buy a Home in Knoxville, TN - Step 4 - Researching Comps & Preparing The Offer
As a Knoxville Buyer it is imperative for you to protect yourself with the home inspection contingency. Even though the home might look great to you and your Uncle Joe says it is solid as a rock we always recommend that you get a thorough home inspection by a Licensed Home Inspector.
Sometime Buyers balk at the idea of spending a few hundred dollars on a home inspection, but considering you are spending thousands on the home it is not a smart place to try to save money.
In fact, I like to refer to the section on the Purchase and Sales Agreement where you waive your rights to a home inspection as the "idiot box". Even the investors I work with, who in many cases gut the entire home, have an inspector check out their homes before they buy.
During the inspection contingency period, you as a buyer can get any inspection that you want, but it is usually considered a Buyer's expense. Keep in mind that a home inspector is not a structural engineer, an electrician, a plumber, a roofer or a HVAC professional, so if you are concerned about anything specific you may want to have a specialist check it out as well.
No part of a home, no matter how expensive, is made to last forever. Even a brand new HVAC system could fail after a year. For this reason it is often recommend that the Buyer either ask the Seller to supply, or purchase themselves, a home warranty.
Types of Inspections:
Many buyers simply get a basic Home Inspection- however, as a buyer you have to right to get as many inspections as you wish during the inspection contingency period.
- Home Inspection- make sure they are actually licensed in the state of TN
- Radon Inspection
- Mold Inspections
- HVAC Inspection
- Electrical Inspection
- Structural Insepction
- Environmental Inspection (i.e. soil analysis)

About Keller Williams Realty Team McIn-Kowksi- Knoxville's Green Team
Our names are Christine McInerney and Jennifer Halinkowski. We are the Keller Williams Realty Knoxville real estate team of McIn-Kowski. Many people have a negative connotation when they think of Real Estate agents. We offer a fresh and energic perspective and work hard for our clients. We do not drive fancy cars and we do not use slick talking tactics to belittle and confuse our clients. We DO NOT have 30 years of experience behind us, meaning that we have not picked up bad habits and use old, worn out sales techniques. We are modern, focused, highly educated, intelligent and down to earth. Best of all when you enlist Team McIn-Kowski you get TWO full time REALTORS(R) catering to ALL of your Real Estate needs!!
We offer free Buyer agent services and are Knoxville Relocation Specialists. If you have a question about the Knoxville area contact us and if we do not personally know the answer we can get you in contact with sources that do. Call us to get started with your home search: 865-237-5289.
If you need to sell your house, definately interview us. We commit ourselves to diligent research to get our clients homes in front of the most buyers possible. By the way, these buyers are not in newspapers and home magazines. If you are considering hiring a family member or friend without interviewing them for the job because you want to "do them a favor" you may be making a huge financial mistake. To us, a seller should go with the most qualified agent they see fit to get their house sold, even if it means hurting a loved one's feelings. This is probably your largest financial investment and you can't afford to put it in the hands of someone who will simply throw a sign in the yard and put your house on the MLS.
We will offer you a menu of services so that you can build your own plan! We offer an unconditional listing agreement that you can cancel at anytime with no fees to you. We only get paid when you get paid. At closing.
We promise to talk to you personally during the listing period at least once a week with updates. We also promise to prepare a new market analysis and meet with you to talk about recent sales and closings every 4-5 weeks. We promise to answer our phone when you call or return your call within 30 minutes Mon-Sun 8am-8pm. Try it! Christine 865-237-5289 or Jennifer 865-621-3658

She was extremely professional and provided us with all the additional information needed to make our move from North Carolina to Knoxville the best. My wife (Jo Ellen) only traveled to Knoxville once to see the house; then Jennifer was able to handle everything by overnight express mail, telephone, and electronic wire transfer. All this was accomplished while I was overseas. Jo Ellen and I agree that Jennifer is the best Real Estate Agent we have ever dealt with, and we strongly recommend anyone looking for a home in the Knoxville area to call on her. Our hats are off to Jennifer Halinowski for making our home buying a joyful reality.
