Welcome to 3576 E Atherton Lane -- a 3,089-square-foot retreat in Baneberry, a quiet lakefront community tucked along the shores of Douglas Lake at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you're searching for a second home, a place to settle into retirement, or room for a growing family, this property delivers a rare combination of comfort, flexibility, and an enviable East Tennessee location.


The heart of the home is a generous open-concept family and entertainment space, anchored by rich hardwood floors and a striking stone fireplace -- equally suited to quiet mornings with coffee or evenings hosting children, grandchildren, and friends. Floor-to-ceiling windows pour in natural light and frame peaceful views of the surrounding woods, with seasonal glimpses of Douglas Lake sparkling beyond.


Smart single-level main-floor living puts the day-to-day essentials all on one floor: a welcoming living room, family room, kitchen, dining area, three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a dedicated home office. The entire upper level adds remarkable versatility -- guest space, dual home offices, a hobby studio, fitness space, or additional bedrooms for kids or visiting grandchildren. The space adapts to however life unfolds.


Outside, the .79-acre lot gives you room to breathe. A multi-level back deck steps down to a fire pit nestled in the trees -- your front-row seat to Tennessee sunsets, lightning bugs in summer, and crisp autumn nights with the Smokies in the distance. Neighboring homes sit at a respectful distance, so privacy comes naturally.


Baneberry itself is part of the appeal: a friendly, active community known for its golf cart parades, monthly gatherings, dog park, and community center, with a playground on the way -- and no HOA fees. A nearby public boat ramp opens up more than 30,000 acres of Douglas Lake for boating, fishing, kayaking, and lazy summer afternoons on the water.



The location is hard to beat. You're less than an hour from Knoxville and its regional airport, under an hour to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and minutes from the small-town charm of Sevierville. Country quiet, mountain views, lake access, and Tennessee's no-state-income-tax advantage -- with big-city connections when you want them.


Be sure to take the interactive virtual tour. Homes like this -- true main-level living, generous flex space, real privacy, and an authentic community -- don't come around often in this corner of East Tennessee.

Situated on a beautifully wooded lot in the heart of Baneberry, this inviting two-story home offers privacy, space, and a true connection to nature. A long, private driveway leads you to the home, often framed by visits from local wildlife, setting the tone for the peaceful surroundings.

Upstairs, the exceptionally large primary bedroom provides a true retreat with ample space to unwind. The secondary bedrooms are equally spacious, offering flexibility for guests, family members, or a home office--each with comfortable layouts and substantial closet space.

Outside, mature trees and established landscaping create a private, park-like setting where deer and birds are regular visitors. Located in the welcoming lakeside community of Baneberry, residents enjoy neighborhood traditions such as golf cart parades, monthly events, and an active community atmosphere. Baneberry has a dog park, a community center, and it is working on adding a playground. Residents enjoy the quiet streets where one can take in the gorgeous Smoky Mountains and beauty of Douglas Lake, as well as the abundance of wildlife.
