FLOAT THROUGH THE FOREST TO YOUR PRIVATE BOAT DOCK. Set above the main channel of Watts Bar lake on over 20 private, wooded UNRESTRICTED acres, Lakeside Lodge is an extraordinary, fully furnished legacy estate featuring a newly installed private passenger incline. Step aboard the gondola-style carriage and glide 300 feet beneath the forest canopy to the expansive covered dock—an experience found nowhere else on Watts Bar lake.
Built in 2019, the custom log residence, detached garage with guest apartment and luxury tiny home offer approximately 5,868 square feet of beautifully appointed living space. The timber-and-stone main home features covered porches, handcrafted water features, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hand-scraped African mahogany floors and walls of glass framing spectacular lake, mountain and sunset views. A floor-to-ceiling, double-flued stone fireplace anchors the great room, while the chef’s kitchen offers granite countertops, generous cabinetry and a large gathering island. 4 bedroom suites, 4.5 baths, multiple living areas, a handsome library, custom sauna, partially finished lower level and garage provide exceptional versatility.
The detached 2-car garage includes a private, approximately 1,000-square-foot, one-bedroom studio apartment—ideal for guests, multigenerational living or rental income.
Known to vacation guests as “Berl Inn Lodge,” the property also includes a fully furnished luxury 3-bedroom, 1-bath tiny home with an established VRBO history, separate laundry house, Finnish sauna & outdoor shower.
The covered dock rests in approx 24 ft of water at summer pool &16 ft in winter, providing true year-round access. Sand Island is a 5-minute boat ride away, with 4 marinas and restaurants within 15 min. Spring City is 15 minutes by car; Chattanooga & Knoxville are approximately 90 min, Nashville 2.5 hrs and Atlanta about 3 hrs
Impossible to replicate, Lakeside Lodge is a one-of-a-kind haven. Potential owner financing. Catch the video!
