This home is located on the banks of beautiful Norris Lake. Bring your own boat or rent one next door at Hickory Star Marina (a full service marina with 200+ boat slips). You will enjoy exploring the beautiful blue-green waters span more than 800 miles of shoreline covering 34,000 acres.
Norris Lake boundaries extend up the Clinch and the Powell Rivers which feed Norris with clear, pristine waters. Just across the lake from the house is the Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area. It occupies 24,444 acres on the Central Peninsula on the east shores of Norris Lake, the confluence of the Powell and Clinch rivers. Just to the west, Big Ridge State Park was one of five demonstration parks developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in cooperation with the National Park Service and the Civilian Conservation Corps as an example of public recreation development along TVA lakeshores. The heavily forested, 3,687-acre park lies on the southern shore of TVA's Norris Lake in Union County, Tennessee. 75% of the area around Norris Lake is a Wildlife Management Area or State Parks. It's an ideal environment for nature lovers, sportsmen and vacationers alike.
The master bedroom of this lovely home has a queen size bed, with french doors opening out onto a private deck over looking the lake. The 2nd bedroom has country charm with a full size bed, The 3rd bedroom has a full/twin bunk with rails on the top bunk, great for the kids. The living room has 2 big picture windows featuring a beautiful view of the lake.
Enjoy the convenience of our private dock and swim platform just in front of the house. There is always something to do on the lake! The fishing is great here year round and we can help you with a fishing guide, that will pick you up right in front of the house. Striped Bass (rockfish), Norris Lake has them and big ones too. I have seen "65 ponders" come in and lots of 30s and 40s. Click on the link (fishing with Wayne) and see all the fun. That's not all, the Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted Bass, the Walleye, Crappie, Catfish and Bluegill (bream) are fun to catch too. I have people that rents my home that performs at Ski World and they come here to ski for 2 weeks a year. They have told me that Norris has some of the best water in the world for water skiing.
If you would like a night out, try Nordstom's Galley the restaurant at Hickory Star Marina. "just a short walk away and the food is great!"
We are so to speak, out in the sticks, but it is just 4 miles to the local IGA, Rite-Aid, McDonald's, Hardee's, Subway, Ace Harware, Dollar Store and other stores close by. Like ours, R & R Gifts & Crafts, where we sell local crafts items and Amish rocking chairs, Handmade Quilts and such. It's only 12 miles down to Knoxville or 40 miles to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
It is only 10 miles to The Museum of Appalachia, where you can move back in time and see what it was like living and working in early Appalachia. This is a fully working museum and you can watch crafters make their crafts. There's also a nice petting zoo and a antique mall. Speaking of antiques stores and malls, there is a full page of them in the Yellow Pages for this area. And 1000's of other attractions in the area for the whole family to have a wonderful vacation.
