2544 Lakefront DrKnoxville, TN 37922

At the top of this winding private drive hides one of Knoxville‘s rarest finds. Located 1 mile from Pellissippi Parkway Northshore Drive exit, this 4416 SF, 5 bedroom, 4 bath home is nestled on top of a hill in the woods on 4.35 acres and offers an outdoor living space overlooking the main channel of Fort Loudon Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains all the way to North Carolina! 2544 Lakefront Dr. isn’t just a home, it’s your own private resort. Surrounded by estate homes with wooded acreage, you’ll live in a wildlife paradise where Whitetail deer, red fox and other woodland animals thrive. You’ll be amazed by the sounds of numerous songbirds, as well as frequent sightings of bald eagles, wild turkeys, owls, hawks, and hummingbirds. From the deck and pavilion, you’ll see planes takeoff from and land at McGee Tyson airport and refueling planes and Blackhawk helicopters fly training missions from the air National Guard base both directly across the lake. Enhancing the natural beauty of this private sanctuary is extensive natural landscaping that includes a running creek with a goldfish pond and if you like boating, you can join the yacht club down the street and dock your boat there.

Five parks are within a 10 minute drive. This rare property has not been on the market in 23 years and should be available to close in February or March 2027. The owner is a Knoxville builder who is building his downsized home and this is your opportunity to lock in this magnificent property while he’s doing final touch ups and before he list it with his real estate agent.

Because of the private nature of our home, it’s impossible to do a drive-by sighting of the house from the street. There’s also limited turnaround space at the top of the drive if we have cars parked outside so for that reason, we are asking for at least 30 minutes advance notice before coming up for an exterior look. After that, we can make an appointment to tour the house at a later time for seriously interested buyers. $1,799,999. More photos coming soon.
