Lake Norris has about 800 miles of shoreline while a few areas are zoned for residential development and marinas, most of the lake is uninhabited and you have miles of water shoreline with coves that you can enjoy.
While picking the location for our home, we had 3 criteria:
✬ Safety: Where our kids and families can enjoy the lake, swim around safely near the deck and dive from our private dock.
✬ Family: Our home is situated in a cove away from the traffic but have a view of the lake from all bedrooms. There is no concept of a master bedroom, we have 4 identical bedrooms with attached bath with beautiful view of the lake and individual walk out to the deck. The other 2 bedrooms in the upper floor was designed for families with kids, where they cannot walk out to the deck by themselves and be safe with parents. You will be pleased to find all four master bedrooms and bathrooms were equal in size and features. The same is true for the two bunk bed rooms (for families with kids). This will make it easy for everyone to pick a room.
✬ Location: Quickly accessible to free waterway and also close to marinas where families can go grab a bite and get their boats/jet skis refilled.
