why windriver?
Practically
PERFECT
in every way.
You’re looking for the right club community.
Allow us to narrow the search: the rolling hills of East Tennessee.
WindRiver is, dare we say, perfect. Type A’s, this one's for you.
A Bob Cupp course, 800 acres, and long views over Tellico Lake to the Smokies. Homes tucked into quiet coves, along fairways, and up on the ridgelines. This is what happens when a community does everything without compromise.

We wanted to be away, but not remote. Here, we’re minutes to healthcare, including at UT. Daily essentials are just outside the gate, and Knoxville is easy when we want a night on the town.
