If you’re looking for a new home, especially in Knoxville, you’ve probably noticed that finding the perfect place to call home is easier said than done. In the last year, Knoxville, Tennessee, has experienced significant growth as one of the few US cities in 2020 that actually added jobs. But with that growth, there is less housing inventory, causing more demand and higher prices. These factors can make finding the right home for your family difficult.
Instead of competing with other Knoxville buyers for limited inventory, why not consider getting out of the city and buying or building in a beautiful waterfront community just a short drive away?
Today, we’re sharing seven reasons why you should take a closer look at buying or building in Tennessee National.
Safety is a critical part of loving where you live. As cities get denser and more populated, many families choose to move outside major cities yet remain close enough to have easy access to necessities and entertainment. Tennessee National is a private, gated community just outside Knoxville in Loudon, Tennessee. It provides residents and guests a safe, access-controlled community, with large lots, lots of green areas, and room for your family to grow.
Life is short, and you want to soak up time with the people you love. Tennessee National is located where Watts Bar Lake meets the Tennessee River. As a resident, you’ll have easy access to a marina with private boat slips available for rent. Living in a lake community enables you to spend your free time on the water, whether you enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, water sports, or simply cruising on your boat.
If you don’t have a boat or want to accommodate more friends, you have that option as a resident as well. In the first quarter of 2021, the Tennessee National team invested in a fleet of new rental pontoon boats for resident and guest use. Rent for half or whole days and spend time enjoying one of Tennessee’s favorite lakes.
If this last year has taught us anything, it’s that it’s more important than ever to live in an environment that meets your family’s lifestyle. For many homeowners, that means a desire for terrific community amenities like those at world-class resorts. Community pools, an award-winning golf course, cultivated waterfront walking trails, and a community marina are just some of the amenities residents love about Tennessee National.
In addition to the resort amenities currently available to our residents, plans are underway for many new ones. Our team is upgrading the marina, adding a ship store, new boat slips, and covering existing ones to offer boat owners a better marina experience.
The finishing touches on a newly renovated clubhouse restaurant named Silos are being performed now. The private restaurant for residents and golf members will reopen with new indoor and outdoor furniture, kitchen equipment, and a brand new menu in April. Don’t want to cook? Walk over to Silos to relax on the patio with a bite or glass of wine.
Nothing says lake life like waterfront dining. Besides the upgrades to Silos, our team is also currently working on conceptualizing and designing a new lakefront restaurant to be completed in late summer to give you even more on-premise dining options.
Finding the perfect home can be difficult, but Tennessee National’s sprawling 1,400-acre campus offers you a variety of gorgeous move-in ready homes in unique styles in every section within the community. Discover your perfect home with a lake, valley, or golf view, or one in our wooded ridge retreat. No matter what type of view or atmosphere you’re looking for, we can help you find the perfect place to call home.
If you would rather build your dream home, we can help you there, too. Our custom home building team has combined experience of over 40 years in building, most recently in developing and building the lakefront resort community of Twin Creeks.
Working with a custom home builder should be an exciting, stress-free experience, which is why we have a dedicated custom home and design team that will help you every step of the way. Whether you already have a house plan or need help designing the right one, you’ll have everything you need to make informed decisions about your new home.
Tennessee National is a place that people of all ages will love coming home to, and that includes even the youngest family members. Don’t worry, mom; you’ll be happy because Loudon County offers students an open school system. Many schools focus on different areas of interest, such as sports, arts, or STEM. You have complete control to choose the school that fits your children’s needs best. Besides the public school system, you’re also within a short drive to many highly-regarded K4 - 12 private institutions.
You already know you don’t want to have to leave the community to enjoy the outdoors and make memories with your loved ones. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice being close to other necessities like nearby shopping, jobs, and healthcare either.
You’ll be within a few miles of major shopping, casual and fine dining restaurants, and entrance to I-24 to make your way into Knoxville as needed.
For healthcare, Tennessee National is a short drive from three major medical centers, with varying specialties, including Fort Loudoun Medical Center, Turkey Creek Medical Center, and Parkwest Medical Center.
Rest assured, when you live at Tennessee National, you and your family will be well cared for in and out of your home.
