Lake Living
The life people
move here for.
This stretch of the Tennessee River, Watts Bar and Chickamauga, is its own kind of place: wide, easy water framed by the Cumberland Plateau, with room to breathe and a slower way to spend a weekend. Here’s what to know before you settle in.
-
Waterfront & dock access
Main-channel views, quiet coves, and the dock-and-slip details that actually matter on the water.
-
Lake communities
Established neighborhoods with the amenities, marinas, and neighbors that make a place feel like home.
-
Four-season living
Spring dogwoods to autumn ridgelines: homes you'll love long after the summer's over.
How it works
A calmer way to buy and sell.
Real relationships over transactions. The expertise speaks for itself — your job is just to enjoy finding the place.

Relocating
New to East Tennessee?
Start here.
Moving from out of state is a big leap, and the internet only tells you so much. The relocation guide is a plain-spoken, no-pressure look at what living here is really like, written for people deciding whether to make the move, not just where to buy.
In their words
Don’t take our word for it.
Coming to a state that we did not know, she was able to turn us into real Tennesseans! Through her incredible work she found us the perfect home. Always on call for us, always there! Truly exceptional!
She was very sweet, professional and patient while we searched for just the right home on the lake. She was always available when needed and communicative throughout the whole process. We are so grateful for her!
I had my property listed with another agent for years and it never sold. Ivey got it sold in less than six months. She's a go getter for sure.
Meet Ivey
Local knowledge,
spoken plainly.
No hype, no buzzwords. Just someone who knows Watts Bar and Chickamauga cove by cove, knows the small towns along them (Spring City, Dayton, and the rest) and will tell you the truth about a place, even when it’s not the answer you were hoping for. That’s what makes the right home actually feel right.
