This is the exit you get off of and disappear into the surrounding rural hills. Fog floats through the valleys in the early mornings and curvy roads make the drive a little bit longer.
What it lacks in commercial amenities it more than makes up for in access — to lakes, rivers, and nearby larger cities.
Key Lifestyle Features:
- Center Hill Lake: One of Tennessee's most scenic reservoirs, with emerald green water, miles of wooded shoreline, and world-class smallmouth bass fishing. Center Hill is the anchor of outdoor life in this part of the state.
- Cordell Hull Lake: A quieter, less trafficked reservoir to the north offering boating, fishing, and peaceful shoreline access — a true local's lake.
- Caney Fork River: One of Tennessee's premier trout fisheries runs right through the region, giving anglers year-round access to exceptional tailwater fishing.
- I-40 Access: Silver Point's interstate position means Cookeville's shopping, dining, and healthcare are a short drive west — and Nashville is reachable in well under an hour and a half.
- Rural Character: This is genuine small-town Tennessee — agricultural, community-oriented, and refreshingly unhurried.
Silver Point offers a rare combination in today's Middle Tennessee market — interstate convenience and proximity to not one but two lakes.
- Property Options: Rural homes, farmland and acreage. An opportunity for hillside developments.
