Public Remarks: Welcome to 117 Vista Drive on Watts Bar Lake. Tucked into a quiet cove along the Tennessee River, this is the kind of East Tennessee lake place people hold onto for years. Slow mornings with coffee on the deck. Long boat days. Kids swimming and fishing until dark. Sunset rides around the lake. Coming back inside sunburned and tired in the best way. The home has a fun, unique layout with a classic lake-camp feel, lots of natural light, and decks overlooking the water. The main level offers easy access from the road with a bedroom and full bath, while the lower level gives additional sleeping space and another full bath for guests and weekends at the lake. Outside is where this property really shines. The TVA-permitted private dock with boat lift makes it easy to leave the boat ready to go, and the protected cove creates calmer water for floating, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, and easy access out to the main channel of Watts Bar Lake. Recent updates include dock resurfacing and support improvements (2025), rebuilt stairs to the dock (2025), fiberglass roof (2022), gutters with guards (2021), detached garage addition (2016), and flooring updates. Additional features include: • Detached 2-car garage • Mature trees and privacy • Publicly maintained road • No HOA (per seller) • Convenient access to Kingston, I-40, and Knoxville Optional furnishings and select personal property may be available separately. If you've been looking for a Tennessee lake place that feels relaxed, easy, and made for making memories, this one is worth seeing.
