Published on Mar 13

The origin of the name Tennessee comes from the old Yuchi Indian word, "Tana-see," meaning "The Meeting Place." What better to "meet" new friends than on one of Tennessee’s recreational lakes? Tennessee has one national forest, 15 state forests, 54 state parks, 253 larger lakes, over 1000 smaller lakes, over 60,000 miles of streams, and some 540,000 incredible lake acres in all!
All the larger Tennessee lakes - Ft. Loudon, Douglas, Norris, Tellico, Melton Hill, Cherokee, and Watts Bar - have activities such as swimming, fishing, power boating of any size, Jet Ski riding, scuba/quarry diving, canoeing or kayaking or just about anything you would enjoy doing on the water with few restrictions. Miles of hiking and biking trails exist all around the lakes as well. Water quality and clarity on these lakes are all in the good/excellent range and most have gorgeous, long range, lake and mountain views! Tennessee has many direct waterfront lake homes and homesites ranging in price from about $200,000 to over several million which means there is a home for everyone.

Working with Karen Millikan was an absolute joy. She suggested a price point, which we agreed to, and she delivered. She paid attention to us like we were her only clients. Her response rate was lightning fast, she has a positive outlook, was encouraging when we needed to be lifted up a bit, and throughout the entire process, she was practical, honest, and trustworthy. We had been advised that Karen is the only one to list and sell your home in the area - and the advice was correct!

I bought my home from Karen Millikan in 2005. She was very knowlegable in "All things Rarity Bay". When it came time to sell it, I of course called Karen and she arranged for handimen, painters and a stager to make the home the best it could be and we sold it right away! If you need to sell in Rarity Bay, Call THE Rarity Bay Expert, no one has been selling longer and no one knows more about Rarity Bay!

Karen was The best real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, As we were living out of state trying to sell our waterfront home she handled all aspects of the Transaction that I'm sure would have left other agents throwing up their hands and getting flustered, Many times I said to my wife “If it wasn't for Karen I don't know what we would do”... My only Complaint with Karen is that she is located in Tennessee and the next House that we need to sell is in the Northeast!

After several attempts to sell my lot at Lake Tellico Village, I contacted Polly Harrison at Lakefront Living, On The Lake Living Realty. From my initial contact with her through the final closing of the sale, Polly conducted herself with the utmost professionalism. She was always available for my questions and constantly kept my updated on the propress of the listing and worked diligenty for me in negotiating the final contract price. I highly recomment Polly if you are looking to buy or sell real estate. You will not be disappointed.

"Mike Hogan is one of the most patient men you can find. Our demands were high if not impossible, but Mike stuck with us until we found the PERFECT property! Not too many Agents would have stayed around for the long haul! Thanks Mike!

I wanted to to tell you guys how wonderful Oceana Richards is! Although she was somewhat new, or she said she was, we would have NEVER known it by the way she professionally handled our sale and closing! All we had to do was show up! We asked hundreds of questions about the shoreline rights and building restrictions, area flooding questions and she patiently answered every one of them....sometimes needing to do some extensive research to get the answer! Oceana will be my go to girl from now on!
