One of the few small pockets of private land with direct access to Fontana Lake, the community offers a luxurious and peaceful lakefront lifestyle. Residents enjoy an array of amenities, including a private marina, day-use docks with covered gazebos and picnic areas, boat storage, and scenic walking trails. The wide, paved main road throughout the neighborhood is gently graded for easy, year-round access.
Fontana Lake Estates is also a US Forest Service-approved Firewise Community, committed to wildfire prevention and safety. This includes creating and maintaining defensible space around homes, encouraging the use of fire-resistant building materials, implementing community fuel-reduction efforts, and ensuring emergency access routes and resources are always available. These proactive steps help reduce wildfire risk and protect residents, property, and the surrounding forest.
In addition to its natural beauty and thoughtful planning, the neighborhood is known for being welcoming and socially active. A variety of community committees organize regular events and gatherings—from casual get-togethers and potlucks to holiday celebrations and outdoor adventures—creating a built-in sense of community and friendship, especially valuable for those new to the area.
Fontana Lake Estates offers the perfect balance of tranquility, safety, and connection—an ideal place to experience the beauty of the Smokies while enjoying a rich and fulfilling lifestyle.
