For Sale: Historic Lake Cottage on Norris Lake — $679,000 (As Is)
?? 175 Lakeview Circle, Sharps Chapel, TN
Step into a piece of Norris Lake history. Built not long after the lake was first formed, this renovated fisherman’s cabin has grown into a charming cottage over the years — always evolving, always loved. Now, it’s ready for its next chapter… and its next steward.
Perched on a small peninsula on 2.51 acres, nearly half of which is lakefront, this property offers a rare combination of privacy and connection. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood where most owners are weekend visitors, you’ll enjoy peaceful mornings on the deck with nothing but birdsong and lapping water — yet Lakeview Marina is just steps away.
Inside, you’ll find an open, loft-like interior where the kitchen and living area (which includes a working fireplace) flow together. The screened-in porch invites slow summer evenings and starlit conversations. Three bedrooms are possible (currently configured as such) with one updated bathroom. The kitchen carries vintage charm, while updates over the years include PVC plumbing, new gutters, a new roof (2023), and a newly built (partially covered) deck, perfect for quiet mornings of meditation and fun evenings of cooking out on the grill and hanging with friends and family. Heating and cooling are handled by split HVAC plus baseboard. Across the yard you’ll find a camper hookup ready for a meter to be installed to have private space for any out-of-town guests.
The views are just as captivating as the history — mountains in the distance, water only a few hundred feet away, and a night sky so full of stars you’ll forget city lights exist. With fast Wi-Fi, you can stay connected while feeling completely away.
This is a home that is cozy as it is, but also brimming with potential. Whether you preserve its warm, rustic character or expand into a dream lake retreat, this is a place meant to be cherished for generations.
