Planning Around the Shoreline, Not Fighting It
"We've built on Douglas Lake and know how to plan around a shoreline instead of fighting it. I'd like to walk your property with you." — Jamey Hite
Lakefront HomesDouglas Lake & the Dandridge Area
A lakefront property comes with questions a standard lot doesn't: elevation, water access, sightlines, how the home sits on the property. We've built on Douglas Lake and know how to plan around a shoreline instead of fighting it.
Building on the water means thinking about the grade of the lot, where the driveway and dock meet the shoreline, and how the home frames the view from every main room. Get those decisions right up front and the home feels like it grew out of the property. Get them wrong and you spend the whole build, and every year after, working around them.
Douglas Lake and the Dandridge area are where we specifically focus our custom and lakefront work, alongside our core building in Greeneville, Newport, and Johnson City. One point of contact runs the lakefront work from the first shoreline walk-through to the final inspection.

Before you build on the lake
Elevation, water access, sightlines, and how the home sits on the property all need planning up front, before design work starts. Lakefront lots also carry site-specific costs around grading, access, and applicable building requirements that a standard lot doesn't.
