When the Tennessee Valley Authority completed the Fort Loudoun Dam in 1943, a deep serpentine lake was formed along a 50-mile stretch of the Tennessee River west of the Great Smoky Mountains, surrounded by bucolic farmland, forest and rolling hills.
Today, Fort Loudoun Lake provides a scenic backdrop for a magnificent new gated community set on more than 300 acres of waterfront land about 15 miles south of Knoxville.
The Lowes Ferry master plan encompasses a total of 228 lakeside and inland homesites ranging from half an acre to two full acres, with tree-lined lanes, underground utilities, city water and sewer service and a generous amount of shared open space comprised of woodlands, open fields and nature trails.
A private yacht club with a swimming pool, beach area and proposed marina will provide a venue for social and recreational activities, including direct access to boating and fishing on 14,600-acre Fort Loudoun Lake.
This ideal location will give Lowe’s Ferry residents the benefits of a laid-back country lifestyle just minutes away from the rich cultural and commercial attractions of the thriving Knoxville area.
Acreage: 303 acres (123 hectares)
Gatehouse: A secure gateway will assure the privacy of Lowe’s Ferry residents.
Clubhouse: An elegant private yacht club will host a range of social and recreational activities for community residents.
Recreation: In addition to aquatic activities on Fort Loudoun Lake, Lowe’s Ferry offers residents plenty of park-like open space and a network of nature trails within the development. The property also makes a good base for exploring the expansive parklands of eastern Tennessee, including the spectacular peaks and valleys of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Year-round activities in the region include camping and backpacking, hiking and mountain biking, fly fishing, skiing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding and spelunking.
Golf Nearby: Eastern Tennessee is home to a good selection of public and private golf clubs, including a superb 7,000-yard Arthur Hills design at the River Islands Golf Club located about 30 minutes east of downtown Knoxville. The Green Meadow Country Club, the Egwani Farm Golf Club and the Pine Lakes Golf Club are approximately 20 minutes from Lowe’s Ferry.
Boating: Fort Loudoun Lake, the uppermost in a navigable chain of nine TVA reservoirs along a 650-mile stretch of the Tennessee River, is a popular destination for recreational boating, canoeing and kayaking. A proposed marina would give all Lowe’s Ferry residents access to boat slips adjacent to the community yacht club, while owners of lakefront lots will have the option of building their own private docks.
Fishing: The lake harbors significant populations of largemouth smallmouth and white bass, as well as bluegill, crappie and catfish. The Tennessee River watershed also has been stocked with thousands of lake sturgeon, for which a strict catch-and-release rule is in effect.
Swimming: A private swimming pool will be located adjacent to the yacht club.
Dining and Shopping: Proximity to the vibrant Knoxville metropolitan area will give Lowe’s Ferry residents easy access to a full range of restaurants, retailers and commercial services. The development is also just an hour away from an impressive roster of factory outlets and mountain craft shops at the mountain resort community of Pigeon Forge.
Area Attractions: In addition to the splendid wilderness of the Great Smoky Mountains, eastern Tennessee offers a variety of cultural and recreational attractions ranging from Knoxville’s trove of museums, historic sites and performing arts venues to the appealing mountain resort towns of Gatlinburg, Townsend and Pigeon Forge (home of Dolly Parton’s famous Dollywood theme park). Other destinations for easy day or weekend trips include Atlanta, Nashville, Chattanooga, Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Health Care: Knoxville hosts a broad range of specialized medical practices and five regional hospitals, including the highly respected University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Lots: Guaranteed buildable homesites range from half an acre up to two acres, including some waterfront parcels. Priced from $97,400 to $609,900.
