What Makes This Different
It's Not One Thing. It's Everything Together.
Most communities give you golf or water. Tennessee National gives you both — plus a social life you didn't know you were missing.
The only gated community with both a marina and championship golf course — 140+ boat slips and 18 holes designed by Greg Norman on the same property.
22 active clubs that actually meet — wine clubs, golf clubs, boat clubs, tennis, cooking, art. Not cosmetic. Real communities within the community.
180+ events per year — boat parades, wine tastings, tournaments, dinners, festivals. Something happening most weekends.
Zero percent state income tax — Tennessee has no state income tax and no tax on Social Security income. That's real money staying in your pocket.
30 minutes to Knoxville — close enough for world-class healthcare, dining, and UT football. Far enough away to feel like a retreat.
Everything You Need. Steps From Your Door.

Imagine Your Day Here
What Daily Life Actually Looks Like
6:30 AM
You're on the dock with coffee. The water is flat. The mountains are starting to light up. Your day hasn't officially started, but living has.
9:00 AM
You head to the first tee. The course is immaculate. You'll run into neighbors you know and some you want to know. Golf here is both sport and social.
12:30 PM
You grab lunch at the clubhouse. It's busy but never rushed. You might see friends from your wine club, your neighbors, the guy you golf with Tuesdays.
3:00 PM
You take the boat out. The lake is calm. You might meet friends at a private cove, or just spend quiet time on the water with a book or fishing rod.
6:00 PM
Someone's hosting a casual dinner on their screened porch. Or there's a club gathering at the pavilion. Or you're grilling at home. Every night has options.
9:00 PM
You're back on the dock as the sun sets over the water. The day was full. Busy but not hurried. Connected but not intrusive. This is why you moved here.

Who Lives Here
60% full-time residents. 40% second-home owners. All walks of life. All ages. All united by wanting more from where they live.
Retirees Who Are Just Getting Started
Active, energetic, ready to travel and play. They wanted something better than a golf-only community. Golf, water, clubs, and a calendar that never stops.
Families Building for the Future
Young families who chose Tennessee National for safety, activities, and school access. Kids grow up here with water sports, structured activities, and a real sense of community.
Empty Nesters Ready to Downsize
Their kids moved away, so they moved here. Simpler to maintain. Better to live in. More friends to make. The social aspect surprised them — in the best way.
Vacation Home Owners
A retreat that's never empty. Events happening every weekend. A community that's welcoming whether you're here one week a month or every other. You're never a stranger.
The common thread isn't age, profession, or background. Everyone here looked at other communities — Florida, the Carolinas — and said no. Tennessee National made more sense. More to do. Better location. Better value. Better fit.
What Residents Found Here
We don't go on vacation — we just stay here. This is our vacation. He looked at me and said, 'I cannot believe we actually live here.'
