LENOIR CITY, Tenn. — October 27st, 2025 — WindRiver Lakefront & Golf Community today announced the release of new luxury home opportunities along the shores of Tellico Lake, expanding its collection of custom residences inside East Tennessee’s premier gated lake and golf destination. The approximately 800 acre master-planned community offers estate homes and homesites with sweeping lake and mountain views just minutes from Knoxville.
Positioned on a peninsula on Tellico Lake, WindRiver blends lake life with championship golf, a full-service marina, and resort-style wellness amenities. The Bob Cupp–designed, par-72 course (4,146–7,453 yards) is Tennessee’s first Audubon-certified championship layout, pairing dramatic elevation changes with Prism Zoysia greens and an expansive practice facility. A new Clubhouse Village is also underway to further enhance resident experiences, with the clubhouse targeted to open in 2026.
As part of today’s unveiling, WindRiver highlighted fresh custom-home options with its Premier Builders—most notably AR Homes® | The Ernst Group, which features the award-recognized Viento model (approx. 3,199 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3-car garage) tailored for indoor-outdoor living on Tellico Lake. Additional custom floor plans (e.g., Keystone series) are available, and several luxury listings within the community showcase the caliber of design and craftsmanship.
“Today’s release reflects strong demand for elevated lakefront living in East Tennessee,” said Kari Fisher a WindRiver spokesperson. “With new custom designs, our Audubon-certified championship course, and a growing slate of amenities—including the forthcoming Clubhouse Village—WindRiver continues to set the standard for lake and golf living on Tellico Lake.”
Beyond golf, residents enjoy a full-service marina with advanced docking, shore power, fuel, and preferred leasing for owners—plus trails that connect into wider TVA systems, a resort-style pool and sports complex, and member dining at Citico’s Restaurant.
This year also marks continued community investment. In October 2024, WindRiver broke ground on its new clubhouse, reinforcing the destination’s momentum as a premier address for luxury lakefront living in the Knoxville area.

Prospective owners can schedule a Discovery Tour to experience the lifestyle, tour available homesites, and review custom plans with WindRiver’s on-site team. Current availability includes a range of homesites and custom opportunities across several neighborhoods within the gates.
