Norris Lake Real Estate is Heating Up

The Norris Lake real estate market is one of the hottest real estate markets in eastern Tennessee. Norris Lake Tennessee is nestled between the Cumberland Mountains and the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. It is a man-made reservoir created by the construction of Norris Dam in 1936 which impounded the Clinch and Powell Rivers to create over 34,000 acres of a beautiful pristine lake. Although the primary purposes of the reservoir are flood control and power production, Norris Lake has become the region’s most visited recreational body of water.

The deep water, natural shorelines and stunning mountain views have combined to make Norris Lake real estate a hot commodity. Although once a relatively uninhabited area, Norris Lake now hosts many resorts, marinas, cabins, condos and multi-million dollar homes. Despite the rising real estate development, most of the shorelines remain untouched with many miles being protected as a wildlife refuge. Whether you are looking for a quiet place to retire or a nice vacation home, you may want to invest in a piece of Norris Lake real estate.
