For the most part, not really.

I may have mentioned this or not, but the best land at elevation in northeast TN is generally not buildable because it is some type of parkland or otherwise protected.

You can probably find some houses and plots of land above 2000' around Butler Mountain in Johnson City. Numerous places in Carter, Unicoi, and Johnson Counties, but those areas are relatively remote, and not really of interest to most newcomers.

Western NC consistently has the coolest temps in the SE US.

On many climate maps it's shows as something like "humid subtropical oceanic/highland" because it's not a true subtropical climate the elevation and mountains really affects the climate.

The USDA any hardiness map for Western NC is mostly zone 6a-7a

The only other alternative would be to look on the Cumberland plateau near Crossville/Cookeville that's not quite as cool but it's still more moderate than Knoxville and Chattanooga

Aren't Crossville and Cookeville about on-par with the tri-cities?

Where in Johnson City is Butler Mountain? Somewhere towards the South? Thanks

It is on the right side of the interstate going southbound as you pass the University Parkway exit.

That would be Buffalo Mountain.

Thanks for clarifying. On Google Earth I see there are definitely some residences in that area at around 1950 - 2000ft, that would definitely be something to keep in mind.

The difference is negligible.
