Pricing
What is a lot in Kahite worth?
In 2025, vacant lots in Kahite sold for a median of $82,500 across 21 arm's-length sales; the middle half sold for $72,500 to $97,000. [1]
These are open-market sale prices. A direct cash offer is usually lower, because a cash buyer closes in days and takes on the time and cost of reselling the lot.
What moves the price in Kahite
Begin with the POA assessment and recorded subdivision obligations
The monthly POA assessment is a recurring holding cost for Kahite lots. The POA's 2026 budget-adoption slides list $186.98 per month effective January 1, up from $181.53. That charge is separate from property taxes, utility use, building review and any parcel-specific title obligation. Before pricing or closing, obtain the current owner ledger, confirm whether any balance or special charge exists, and review the deed, plat, covenants and title commitment. The roll groups land by the Kahite subdivision name, so those recorded documents define more than the label alone. [4],[3],[1],[9]
Roads and utilities are POA functions, but service still needs confirmation
The association says it maintains community roads plus water and sewer systems. Its 2026 roadwork schedule lists multiple Kahite roads in a resurfacing project scheduled to begin September 15; a later update says paving began October 5, and not every road in the neighborhood is included. Those facts do not prove that every vacant lot already has a meter, tap or uncomplicated driveway. Ask the association about the exact parcel's utility connection status, current fees, main locations, road condition and planned work. Also inspect slope and drainage between the road, proposed driveway and building pad, because maintained pavement does not remove site-grading costs. [3],[7],[5]
ACC rules affect the home design and clearing sequence
The Architectural Control Committee issues the POA's building approval for homes. The association's FAQ lists a 1,200-square-foot minimum and says its completion agreement requires the home to meet Blue Book and permit requirements within 12 months. The Blue Book requires approval before groundbreaking or tree removal and requires a written response within 45 days after a complete application and fees are received. Submittals address the plot, drainage, building plans, driveway, walkways, landscape and engineering. Builders should review the current rules and parcel restrictions before clearing the site. [5],[6]
Lake influence and shoreline controls require exact elevation research
A lake-area setting can add appeal, but a view or nearby shoreline does not establish water access or development rights. The Blue Book says shoreline improvements below the 820-foot contour require permits; after ACC review, applications go to the Tennessee Valley Authority and U.S. Army Corps for approval. Tennessee also directs the public to FEMA's Map Service Center for official flood-hazard information and provides a parcel viewer with a FEMA layer. Check the survey, contours, recorded easements, drainage path, flood information and shoreline jurisdiction together. Do not advertise a lot as dockable, waterfront or unrestricted without parcel-specific written evidence. [6],[8]
Subdivision lot sales provide context, not a buildability verdict
The roll identifies 219 vacant residential parcels in the Kahite subdivision-name scope, with a median size of 0.37 acres. The most common size group is third-acre lot, representing 37% of those parcels. Appraised values have a median of $47,500, with the middle half between $33,800–$56,400. In 2025, 21 qualifying single-lot sales had a median of $82,500; the middle half sold for $72,500–$97,000. Lot sales cannot show whether one parcel has the right building envelope, slope, utilities, road approach, view, restrictions or clean association ledger. [1]
Common situations
Selling land in Kahite in these situations
You bought the lot but never built
An unimproved lot can still carry the monthly POA assessment while plans remain on hold. The association funds roads, utilities, amenities and other functions through assessments and user fees. A sale can end future ownership costs once title transfers, but the closing review should obtain the current POA ledger and payoff information so any outstanding balance is handled correctly rather than guessed from an old statement. [3],[4]
The site looks steep or hard to design
Slope does not automatically prevent a sale, but it affects the builder's cost and plan. The ACC package calls for plot, drainage, driveway, landscape and engineering information, and approval is required before groundbreaking or tree removal. A buyer may need current survey, contour, drainage and utility information to estimate the work. Parcel Buyers checks utilities, access and title on every parcel before offering. [5],[6]
You own from outside Tennessee
You can sell without traveling to the subdivision. 39% of owners in this roll scope have a mailing address outside Tennessee. Parcel Buyers can review the lot remotely, send a written offer and coordinate electronic or mailed documents through an independent title company. The title company still reviews ownership and title before the deed records. [1]

Questions
Selling land in Kahite: common questions
Is Kahite a city or a subdivision?
This page covers the Kahite subdivision, not a municipal-boundary dataset. It includes Monroe County parcels whose roll subdivision name is Kahite. The Census Bureau separately lists a Kahite census-designated place, but these figures follow the assessment roll's subdivision field rather than the CDP boundary.
What are the current POA dues for a vacant lot?
The POA's 2026 budget-adoption slides list a monthly assessment of $186.98 effective January 1, 2026, up three percent from $181.53. Obtain a current ledger for the exact lot before closing because that amount does not reveal an owner's unpaid balance, credit or other parcel-specific charge.
Who maintains the roads, water and sewer?
The Tellico Village Property Owners Association says it maintains community streets and the water and sewer systems. It also publishes roadwork schedules, including Kahite resurfacing work. For a purchase or build plan, confirm the exact lot's tap status, connection fees, main locations, driveway route and any scheduled street work directly with the POA.
Who approves a new house in the subdivision?
The POA's Architectural Control Committee issues the association building approval. The home-building materials call for plot, drainage, house, driveway, walkway, landscape and engineering information, and the Blue Book requires approval before groundbreaking or tree removal. That association approval is separate from any inspection or permit required by the public authority with jurisdiction.
Can I rely on the 2025 median lot-sale price?
Use it only as context. The roll shows 21 qualifying 2025 lot sales at a median of $82,500, with the middle half at $72,500–$97,000. One lot can differ because of slope, road approach, utility status, ACC design fit, assessment balance, flood or shoreline review, view, restrictions and title.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Build on a Vacant Lot?
Maybe. A vacant lot is buildable only if the proposed use fits the rules that apply to that parcel and the site can satisfy access, utility, environmental, and permit requirements. Start with the local planning or zoning office, confirm that the parcel is a legal lot, and get a written parcel-specific answer. A zoning label or tax parcel number alone is not approval to build.[1][2]
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- Selling Land With Boundary or Survey Problems
Land with a boundary or survey problem can still be offered for sale, but closing may depend on how the buyer, lender, and title insurer handle it. The contract and closing requirements determine whether a survey is needed. A fence does not by itself establish the record boundary. A survey can identify gaps, overlaps, occupation lines, and encroachments; a competing Florida title claim may require a quiet-title action.[1][6][7]

How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover parcels on the Monroe County roll whose subdivision name is Kahite. Source [1] is our own count of the Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury's county parcel and assessment files (assessment data dated August 28, 2026): a vacant lot is a residential parcel with no buildings, mobile home or improvement value; values are the county assessor's appraised (market) value; sale prices count only 2025 warranty-deed sales of a single lot that was vacant when it sold, at $1,000 or more, with bulk deeds and development-land deals removed. Treat medians as a guide to recent recorded amounts, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 8, 2026.
