The story
- Basement
Set above the still waters of Nickajack Lake, where the Tennessee River bends through the foothills of the Cumberland Plateau, 201 Clubhouse Drive is a study in modern farmhouse restraint. Completed in 2024 and never lived in, this 3,390-square-foot residence occupies nearly half an acre inside the gated enclave of Nickajack Shores & Resort, with sweeping views of the lake, the mountains, and a private pond just beyond the back lawn. The approach sets the tone. Crisp board-and-batten siding, a steep-pitched roofline, and a deep front porch framed by rough-sawn timber columns give the exterior a quiet confidence. Black-framed windows and a glass-paneled entry door hint at the light-filled interiors within. Inside, the great room opens beneath a vaulted ceiling crossed with exposed timber beams. Wide-plank engineered hardwood in a pale white-oak tone runs wall to wall, warmed by a linear fireplace beneath a floating timber mantel. A dramatic charcoal accent wall with geometric millwork anchors the dining space, while a wall of glass doors dissolves the line between indoors and out, drawing the lake and mountain panorama directly into the room. The kitchen is a composition in contrast: matte black shaker cabinetry, brushed-gold hardware, and a waterfall island wrapped in veined marble-look quartz. A stainless range hood, professional-grade appliances, and a vertical subway backsplash complete the picture. Just beyond, a fully outfitted butler's pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a second stretch of quartz counters keeps the main kitchen serene, and a walk-in pantry with custom built-in shelving handles the rest. The primary suite occupies its own wing on the main level, with a tray ceiling, sliding barn door, and a spa-inspired bath finished in black cabinetry, gold fixtures, hexagon tile, and a frameless glass shower lined in white vertical tile. The walk-in closet is fully built out with floor-to-ceiling shelving.
