Public Remarks: FLOAT THROUGH THE FOREST TO YOUR PRIVATE BOAT DOCK. Set high above the main channel of Watts Bar Lake on over 20 private, wooded acres, Lakeside Lodge is an extraordinary legacy estate, fully furnished and offering one of the most remarkable waterfront experiences in East Tennessee: a newly installed private passenger incline. Step aboard the gondola-style carriage and glide 300 feet beneath the forest canopy, arriving effortlessly at the expansive covered dock and the sparkling waters below. It is not simply lake access--it is an experience found nowhere else on Watts Bar. Built in 2019, the magnificent custom log residence, detached garage/separate guest apartment and new tiny home retreat total approximately 5,868 sq feet of beautifully appointed living spaces. A long, wooded approach opens to a circular concrete drive, revealing an impressive timber-and-stone lodge surrounded by covered porches, handcrafted fountains and cascading water features. Inside the main home, soaring vaulted ceilings, massive, exposed beams and hand-scraped African mahogany floors establish a sense of warmth and craftsmanship from the moment you enter. The dramatic great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling, double-flued stone fireplace, while walls of glass frame breathtaking lake, mountain and sunset views. These views are not limited to one room--they accompany you throughout the home and continue across the expansive porches and outdoor living spaces. Designed for both gracious entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the chef's kitchen features granite countertops, a stone backsplash, generous cabinetry and a large gathering island. In the main home, multiple living areas to include four bedrooms suites, four full baths and one half bath provide abundant room for family and guests, while a handsome library, partially finished lower level with custom sauna and garage add to the property's exceptional versatility. Beyond the main house, the detached 2 car garage provides a private thousand sq ft studio apartment above with 1 bedroom and bath for multigenerational, guests or additional rental income. Known to vacation guests as ''Berl Inn Lodge''--a playful nod to the owners' German heritage--the property also boasts a luxury 3/1 tiny home, approximately 400 sq ft and fully furnished with an impressive, established history on VRBO. Its guest accommodations include a separate laundry house, Finnish sauna and outdoor shower. This extraordinary setting and memorable amenities offer the next owner the opportunity to continue a successful rental legacy or reserve the entire retreat exclusively for family and friends as the entire property is unrestricted.
