Tellico Lake will quickly steal your breath away as you explore waterfront retirement communities like Foothills Pointe. The paved roads meander up and over gentle rolling hills leading you to the lakefront clubhouse, salt water swimming pool, boat ramp, tennis courts and boat dockage. Established in 1989, the non-age restricted neighborhood features traditional American architecture and brick homes. Many of the lakefront homes have boat houses, boat docks and spacious backyards on Tellico Lake. Hillside homes have long range views of Tellico Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains, features commonly requested when relocating to Tennessee.

Foothills Pointe's location is about 30 minutes from Maryville and about an hour from one of the Best Bang for the Buck Cities, Knoxville. Life at Foothill Pointe clearly revolves around the lake. The new Tellico Marina and Sequoyah Resort and Marina are less than 10 minutes from the community's entrance. Both are full service marina's offering dining and live entertainment. Because Tellico Lake is a navigable lock lake leading to the Gulf of Mexico, lake levels fluctuate minimally year round which is great for folks who want a boat dock behind their home.

The social club at Foothills Pointe coordinates socials on Friday night's at the community's outdoor pavilion overlooking Tellico Lake. Sunset boat cruises, progressive dinners and day excursions into the city are events keeping neighbors closely connected. Families of all ages call Footpointe Hills home. It's easy to quickly make friends here when relocating to Tennessee. The low cost of living and no state income tax in Tennessee makes the state and waterfront retirement communities popular with fixed income retirees.

Foothills Pointe Reviews

4.7 / 5 (22 reviews)
"Foothills Pointe has low maintenance fees, affordable property values, and great location! Situated on a peninsula on the east side of Tellico lake means it's closer to Maryville and Knoxville where all the major shopping is! The grounds are manicured and beautiful,and the residents are friendly and kind. The community has scheduled activities both within the community like Men's and Women's Tennis, Pickleball, cards and games, dinners, gatherings..and more! Plus they have groups to get involved in like Foothills Pointe hikers, canoe trips, Yoga...all kinds of things to keep you entertained! The best part is that the community is just the right size! Some of the other lake communities on the West side of Tellico are so large that it 30+ minutes just to get from the entrance to your driveway.....and they are further away from Knoxville and Maryville! Foothills Pointe owners ride around in the community on golf carts, they don't have golf in the community, but all the courses are public so I play when ever I want without the extra fee's! Foothills Pointe also has a private marina so even if you don't live on the water you can keep your boat at the marina which is easy to access and has a boat ramp for pulling the boat in and out for maintenance. On Wed. residents gather at the pool for happy hour (which is right on the waterside)! "
