The Dawns Pass property pairs direct water access and a private dock with a mix of open, usable ground and wooded acreage minutes from downtown Knoxville, anchored by a three-bedroom residence built in 1993. Its September 3 closing led the week’s five highest-priced reported home sales across the Knoxville metro area, which combined for $10.46 million.
The week’s real estate activity reaches well beyond the city itself: a Lake Loudon waterfront home in Lenoir City’s gated Casa De Lago enclave and a Norris Lake retreat in La Follette join two more Knoxville closings, in The Summit at Choto and Jefferson Park. Water runs through the list, with several of the five properties carrying a private dock, deeded boat slips or direct lake frontage.
No. 1 — $2,800,000 · 2323 Dawns Pass, Knoxville, Tennessee
At the top of the list, the sale at 2323 Dawns Pass reads as much like a land transaction as a home sale. The property spans more than 18 acres along the water in West Knoxville, combining open, usable land with wooded acreage, and a private dock and direct water access give the parcel expansive views across the lake.
A home with a reported 2,599 square feet anchors the acreage. Listing materials place the property just minutes from downtown yet outside the city limits, and describe a layout that could support a single private estate or multiple homesites.
The transaction closed on September 3, 2026, and ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Knoxville Metro Area Top 5 for the week. The closing also marks Caroline Badgett’s second appearance in a RealtyWire Top 5 roundup for the metro.
Caroline Badgett and Bob Hamilton of Wallace were the listing agents, and Badgett also represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $2,200,000 · 210 Casa Del Lago Way, Lenoir City, Tennessee
The week’s No. 2 sale moved quickly. A Lake Loudon waterfront home at 210 Casa Del Lago Way in Lenoir City went under contract 4 days after the current listing date and closed at its full asking price on September 1, bringing $2.20 million.
The house sits in Casa De Lago, a gated enclave of ten homes just over the Knox County line, and turns nearly every room toward the lake’s main channel. Behind a hard coat stucco and stone exterior with a custom beveled front door, the 2003-built home carries a reported 4,881 square feet across three levels, including a two-story great room, a main-level primary suite with a paneled feature wall and a spa bath with dual vanities, inlaid marble, a soaking tub and an oversized walk-in shower, and three more bedrooms upstairs alongside a central bonus room.
The walkout lower level adds 10-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, a second kitchen and a family room opening to a covered lakeside patio with a stone fireplace. A level lawn runs to the water, where the property holds two deeded boat slips off the neighborhood dock walk. The home previously changed hands for $1,149,000 in 2020.

No. 3 — $1,900,000 · 597 E Norris Point Rd, La Follette, Tennessee
No. 3 belongs to Norris Lake, where a 2022-built lakefront retreat at 597 E Norris Point Rd in La Follette closed at its full asking price on September 4 for $1.90 million.
Set on more than an acre with a level lakefront lot, the house opens around cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows framing the water. A reported 4,720 square feet hold three bedrooms plus additional sleeping quarters, a bunk room and a game room, with accommodations for as many as 20 guests. A private dock carries two decks, a boat lift and four jet ski ports, and a detached 28-by-36-foot garage leaves room for a boat, jet skis or an RV.
The setting is five minutes from both Powell Valley Marina and Flat Hollow Marina. The property previously changed hands for $299,900 in 2020, before the current residence was completed in 2022.
Lisa Haskell and David Haskell of United Real Estate Solutions were the listing agents. Melisa Lee Phillips of Alco Builders & Realty Co represented the buyer.

No. 4 — $1,850,000 · 3115 Choto Highlands Way, Knoxville, Tennessee
A stone and brick home behind the private gates of The Summit at Choto took the No. 4 spot when 3115 Choto Highlands Way in Knoxville sold on September 1, 2026, for $1.85 million, closing $1,000 above its final asking price of $1,849,000.
Built in 2017 with a reported 5,596 square feet, the house looks out year-round on the lake and the distant Smoky Mountain ridgeline. Main-level living is anchored by three bedroom suites, each with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath, under 10-foot ceilings finished with shiplap millwork, barn wood accents and a brick foyer, while expansive guest quarters and a bonus retreat occupy the upper level. The kitchen pairs white cabinetry and quartz countertops with Bosch appliances and a farmhouse sink, framed by walls of windows.
The finished lower level carries a custom bar with a stacked-stone surround, a billiards and gaming room, a fitness studio, a workshop with separate access and a secure safe room. Outside, a covered and screened upper deck with a tongue-and-groove ceiling overlooks a stone fire pit and layered privacy plantings, moments from Choto Marina. The property previously changed hands for $681,325 in 2017.

The fifth sale on the list, at 12156 Monument Blvd in Knoxville, went under contract 13 days after the current listing date and closed September 2 at $1.71 million.
The 2013-built traditional home, in the Jefferson Park community, shows craftsman touches from its circle drive and covered front porch through a foyer finished with a wood inlaid ceiling. Formal rooms carry wainscoting and built-ins, and an eat-in kitchen with a large island, double ovens and a gas cooktop connects to a vaulted, beamed family room with a focal fireplace. Five bedrooms, across a reported 4,622 square feet, include a main-level primary suite with pool views, private deck access and a custom walk-in closet, plus a second main-level suite, and an upstairs bonus room adds a wet bar and beverage refrigerator.
Out back, screened and covered decks give way to a pool set in stone decking with a sundeck, spa and water feature, alongside a covered gazebo on a flat, private yard. The property previously changed hands for $862,500 in 2019.
Chad Copenhaver of Keller Williams Signature was the listing agent. Seth Sinclair of Wallace represented the buyer.
