About this property

Lakefront on Norris. Spectacular Views! Tram to 1000+ sqft dock! 5 Wooded Acres.

Located in a deep water bend of Norris Lake, Afternoon Sun offers two amazing vacations in one. A modern mountain home, situated on 5 wooded, peaceful acres with abundant wildlife and all the comforts and conveniences needed to perfectly sleep 16 people. Once feeling relaxed and rested, pack up the tram for the 2.5 minute ride down to the largest dock on the lake. Including a 1000 sq ft upper deck, there is plenty of space to park/use your lake toys, entertain your family/friends, and prepare/serve the days meals.
Once your coolers and bluetooth speakers batteries are near empty, the days last light still won't have reached the mountain peaks opposite you. Watch the majestic sunset across the backdrop of the surrounding mountains or it's time to retreat back to the house and unwind on one of the decks/porches, by one of the two gas fireplaces, around the wood-burning firepit, or on any of the brand new furniture. Finish one of the best days of your year planning the next one's adventures where you can take advantage of our high speed internet to re-book "Afternoon Sun" for your next lake and mountain retreat!

A very comfortable 4,292 sq/ft modern home (2007) that features a luxury double decker dock (1000 sq/ft), 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, 5+ acres of fun outdoor space with custom constructed fire pit, outdoor shower, large outdoor patio for grilling, covered porch and lower patio with hot tub overlooking the lake/sunsets, and a screened in porch with a propane fireplace. In addition, the property conveniently offers a custom tram (holds 1000 lbs) that arrives at the main level of the property and completes a 2.5 minute ride down to the dock (8 - 15 stairs remaining once you arrive at the dock; depends on lake level).
The luxury double decker dock and deep water (35 ft from edge of dock) makes for complete afternoons swimming in the Afternoon Sun of Norris Lake. Ample outdoor furniture allows for all family and friends to lay out, play with lake toys, ski, and watch the sunset from the best positioned dock in East TN.
The cozy modern home offers the best of East TN yet is conveniently located 9 minutes (most are 30+) from the interstate at exit 129 (Rocky Top) where a Cracker Barrel and liquor store are both located. In addition, due to its location, the property has complete HIGH SPEED WIRELESS INTERNET. (We stress this as many homes on the lake have satellite internet due to their distance and remoteness. Satellite internet has bandwidth and data limitations. With our internet, you can stream movies, stream music, or, if needed, take video conferences calls all day long without interruption. We recommend the more enjoyable options.)
The main level features the master suite with a private walk out to the covered deck and views of the private lake property, king bed, crib, private bath w/ walk-in shower & jacuzzi tub, a custom kitchen with a high end stove (added 2022: https://zlinekitchen.com/zline-60-range) and subzero refrigerator unit, laundry room, a great room with a custom built stone propane fireplace, access to the covered deck and screened in porch, a queen day bed with a pull out twin trundle in a room that can double as an office (custom built desk/bookshelf w/n that room). Access to the patio and tram is also on the main level behind the kitchen through the screened-in porch.
The lower-level features a fun, spacious recreational area with a 65" TV with complete surround sound, a kitchenette (full size refrigerator), two separate bedrooms (one king & one queen), one with a private luxury bathroom with walk-in shower while the other’s luxury bathroom is accessible from within the bedroom and from the rec room. If needed, in the rec area there is a pullout out couch to sleep the 15th or 16th guest (if this is planning to be used, please let us know in advance so we can apply the appropriate bedding).
A bonus room is located above the laundry room and garage which is the ideal teenager/kid space with two separate bunk beds (4 twins), a queen bed, couch, and TV for the late night gaming/movie binging one needs.

Great Location on Norris Lake:
✓ Desirable cove location
✓ 5 minute boat ride to Twin Cove Marina (If you rent a boat from Twin Cove, they can deliver it directly to our dock. A great option to have it ready and waiting for you upon your arrival!)
✓ 9 minutes from I-75 to House (9.5 minutes to breakfast (Cracker Barrel) or to the liquor store)
✓ 40 min drive to Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boling Arena for SEC football games, basketball games, and concerts
✓ 50 min drive to Knoxville McGee Tyson Airport (TYS)
✓ Boat rentals of all kinds
✓ Several Marina’s on Norris Lake have restaurants and live music so you never have to leave the Lake!
