Tennessee Lake Front Property has spectacular views of water and forest, and generally, either rolling hills or mountains, too, depending on the region it is in. Whether it's Norris Lake of the Tennessee Valley chain, Tellico Lake, Center Hill Lake, Old Hickory, J. Percy Priest, or the many lakes of Lewis County and elsewhere, fishing and water sports are the finest. Some homeowners have created their own small lakes, though they may call a 30-foot deep, quarter acre lake a pond, and keep it stocked with catfish, bluegill, and bass.

Parcels of Tennessee lake front property obviously vary in size, but some average 150 feet on the lake frontage line. Often each parcel may have its own boat dock, not shared by others. Prices vary, not only with size, but also with ease of lake access, existing buildings, and, as always with real estate—location, location, location. Specific properties may be part of an association that provides a marina, clubhouse, and other recreational facilities.

Much Tennessee lake front property is undeveloped with clear, unpolluted water for sailing, boating, swimming, and fishing. On occasion, a gated community may have cabins clustered near the lake, with expected utilities in place and access permitted only to members and a limited number of guests. If there are paved roads, they're likely maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Invariably, there are hiking trails around the property.

Marinas, Yacht Clubs, and Tennessee Lake Front Property

Those living outside the state don't readily make the association between Tennessee and yacht clubs. Country music is the first and foremost topic that comes to mind, when someone says Tennessee. However, in Middle Tennessee alone, almost two dozen marinas exist, with four or more yacht clubs, and several other establishments referred to as "marina and resort".
