The History of Lancewood:
Our neighborhood sits on historic land once traveled by Cherokee tribes and later developed by T.S. and Maude Lance in the 1930s. They established a lumber business and built charming half-round log cabins on land that had once been a gold mine. Today, their legacy lives on in this tranquil community of dream homes.

We are honored to be caretakers of this special place and hope you'll love it as much as we do. Come once—and you'll want to return year after year.
