Wallace Twin Lakes · Lenoir City, TN

Buying A Home In Lenoir City & Loudon County

Lenoir City sits where Fort Loudoun Lake meets Tellico Lake, 25 minutes from Knoxville at the junction of I-75 and I-40. Buyers come here for lakefront living, golf communities like Tellico Village, a walkable historic downtown and some of the lowest property taxes in the Knoxville area.

Our Twin Lakes office is on A Street in downtown Lenoir City. Our agents live on these lakes, know the subdivisions off Highway 321 and 95, and have seen hundreds of Loudon County homes inspected, appraised and closed. That local knowledge is what you get when you buy with us.

How We Help You Buy

From the first conversation to the keys in your hand, here is what working with a Wallace Twin Lakes buyer's agent looks like.

1. Plan & Pre-Approve

We talk through your timeline, budget and must-haves, then connect you with a local lender so you shop with a pre-approval in hand.

2. Search & Tour

You get a custom Loudon County search with instant alerts, plus video tours if you are buying from out of town. We tour lake, golf, in-town and country homes with you.

3. Offer & Negotiate

We price your offer from recent Loudon County comps, structure terms that win without overpaying, and negotiate repairs and credits on your behalf.

4. Inspect & Verify

Lake homes need extra care: TVA dock permits, shoreline rules, septic, flood zones and HOA documents. We coordinate inspections and read the fine print with you.

After Closing

Need a dock builder, HVAC tech or lawn service? Our Lenoir City vendor list is yours, and we stay your real estate resource for as long as you own the home.

Lenoir City Home Buyer FAQ

How much are property taxes in Loudon County?

Loudon County's rate is among the lowest in the Knoxville area, and Tennessee taxes homes on 25% of appraised value. Homes inside Lenoir City or Loudon city limits pay a city tax on top of the county rate. We pull the exact tax bill for any home you are considering.

What does it cost to live in Tellico Village?

Every Tellico Village property pays a monthly POA assessment that funds the roads, recreation centers, pools and marinas. Golf, yacht club and some amenities are optional add-ons. We walk you through the current fees and the differences between the Village's neighborhoods.

Can I build a dock on a lakefront lot?

Shoreline on Fort Loudoun and Tellico Lake is managed by TVA. Some lots have dock permits already, some can get one and some cannot. We confirm the permit status, water depth at winter pool and any shoreline restrictions before you write an offer.

Which school system will my home be in?

Homes inside the city limits are served by Lenoir City Schools; the rest of the county, including Loudon, Greenback and Philadelphia, is Loudon County Schools. Zoning follows the property, not the mailing address, so we verify the assigned school for each home.

How long is the commute to Knoxville?

Plan on about 15 minutes to Farragut and Turkey Creek, 25 to 35 minutes to downtown Knoxville on I-40/I-75, and about 30 minutes to Oak Ridge on Highway 95. Tellico Village and Loudon add roughly 10 to 15 minutes.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Conventional loans start around 3% to 5% down, FHA at 3.5%, and VA and USDA can be zero down; much of rural Loudon County is USDA-eligible. Our local lender partners will tell you exactly what you qualify for before you start touring.

Is now a good time to buy in Lenoir City?

It depends on your price range and property type. Well-priced in-town homes and lakefront under the local median move quickly; higher-end lake and golf homes usually give you more time to negotiate. We will show you current Loudon County days-on-market and sale-to-list numbers so you decide with facts.

I'm moving from out of state. How do I buy without being here?

Most of our relocation clients buy after one or two visits. We set up your search, send live video tours, line up a local lender and inspectors, and plan a tour weekend around Lenoir City, Tellico Village, Loudon and Greenback so you can compare them in person.

Have more questions? Send us a message or call (865) 328-1111. Our office is at 105 N. A Street in downtown Lenoir City.
