The story
- Basement
Looking for a custom home with amazing water and golf views? How about one in a private, gated community where it's easy to make friends and every day feels like a getaway? Welcome to 157 River Watch Way, where old-world charm meets modern custom craftsmanship. Completed in 2023 and set just steps from Watts Bar Lake in the coveted Marina District of Tennessee National, this home captures both sides of the community like few others can: sparkling, unobstructed views of Watts Bar Lake in one direction and the green of Hole 3 on the Greg Norman Signature Golf Course in the other. Inside, you get the quality of a custom build without the wait or guesswork of new construction, plus character you won't find anywhere else. Doors repurposed from an 18th-century French monastery and a bedroom built into the home's turret make you feel like you're living in your own private castle. Five bedrooms give everyone room to spread out, and a private elevator makes every level effortless to reach, ideal for hosting guests today and living comfortably for years to come. Two fireplaces, one wood-burning, set a cozy tone. Surround sound carries music throughout, and Pella Lifestyle windows and doors frame the views. Downstairs, a pool table and handcrafted mahogany private bar make the lower level the place to gather. Practical touches include a storm closet and a 60-amp EV charger in the garage. Outside, two balconies overlook the third hole and the open water of Watts Bar Lake, and the kitchen balcony includes a natural gas hookup ready for an outdoor kitchen or grill. The fenced yard has two gates for easy access, and from the back door you can walk right down to the water's edge. Life on the water is just as easy. Stroll or take the golf cart to the marina and be on the lake in minutes: lease a covered slip, or join Freedom Boat Club and skip boat ownership altogether. Onsite boat and RV storage keeps your toys close but out of sight. On land, play one of Tennessee's top-ranked courses, warm up on the driving range, or sharpen your swing in the Toptracer bays. Spend afternoons at the saltwater pool and hot tub, on the pickleball courts, or along miles of walking and biking trails. The 25,000 sq ft clubhouse brings dining and a full social calendar together under one roof, with dinner at Kendall's Restaurant and summer concerts at the pavilion. On weekends, the Sunset Saloon fills up with live music and familiar faces. Even more is on the way, including a spa and fitness center, a waterfront restaurant at the marina, kayak storage and launch, a 6-acre park and more! All of this sits behind a 24-hour guarded gate, minutes from historic downtown Loudon and about 25 minutes from West Knoxville. Lake, golf and resort living, all from your front door.
