5 Luxury Tennessee Retreats from Creekside Escapes to Mountain Estates

Along the banks of Lick Creek in Primm Springs, this meticulously renovated retreat pairs everyday comfort with a true waterfront rhythm. A private beach area sets the tone for kayaking, fishing, swimming, or quiet afternoons by the water. Inside, the layout is designed for flexibility, with five spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half baths, a dedicated media room, and two full kitchens—well suited to multigenerational living or hosting. Renovations span refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, new LVP flooring, custom closet systems, and designer lighting. Kitchens and baths are refreshed with quartz countertops and vanities, updated cabinetry and hardware, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, and custom tile with frameless glass shower details. Outdoors, a composite deck with cable railing and a custom concrete patio extend living outside, framed by white vinyl fencing with brick columns and an estate gate.

From its elevated setting in The Summit subdivision, Star of The Summit reads as a true mountain retreat, framed by breathtaking panoramic mountain views.

The main floor centers on a grand great room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, alongside a chef’s kitchen and an elegant dining area. An additional sitting room encourages slower moments, while one suite opens to a covered porch overlooking the mountains. Downstairs, a game room is outfitted with air hockey, a pool table, a theater area, and an arcade game, plus a kitchenette with a microwave, sink, and refrigerator. An indoor heated pool and a private hot tub extend the experience, with Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just minutes away.

Set on 1.94 private acres in West Knoxville, this estate pairs Southern charm with a sense of quiet seclusion, all just minutes from Kingston Pike and Interstate 40.

The manicured grounds invite unhurried days outdoors—gather around the custom fire pit overlooking the property, or settle in on the covered back porch for a movie in comfort and privacy. Inside, more than 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space includes spacious bedrooms, with the primary suite opening directly to the covered back porch. A generously sized bonus room adds flexible space for family and guests, supporting an easy rhythm of retreat and entertaining.
