Here in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains is Rarity Bay, a master-planned amenity community that is the ultimate representation of great East Tennessee real estate. Homes with French Country architecture, amenities for a healthy life, community activities...this is all Rarity Bay.

Located in Vonore, Tenn., Rarity Bay is 960 acres along Lake Tellico and only a short 30-45 minute drive into Knoxville. The community offers waterfront, water view and golf course homesites, custom estate homes, villas and condominiums. Each is built with the same style, craftsmanship and beauty in mind. If you haven't been to Rarity Bay, there are hospitality suites overlooking the fairways and lake for a pleasant weekend stay.

At the heart of this golf community is the Clubhouse. The stacked stone, copper and granite facility has three dining areas, private meeting rooms, a Pro Shop, swimming pool and tennis courts. Here is where neighbors meet for a game of rummy or to stop for a beverage before venturing back out on the golf course. The Rarity Bay Championship golf course was designed by D.J. DeVictor and Peter Langham and features 18 holes of unbelievable play. It's a par-72 course with a putting green course and driving range. Near the entrance to Rarity Bay is the impressive Equestrian Center. Special events, riding lessons, riding trails throughout the community and boarding facilities are the highlights of the Center. Our Center director is at the Equestrian Center to answer your questions and help you with all your horse's needs.

See Rarity Bay in the best possible way by taking the trails located throughout the community for walking and biking. The small hills will make for robust exercise and showcase all the natural beauty that surrounds you. Make time to go down and see the community boat slips on Lake Tellico. Our residents love gliding across these beautiful lake waters. Enjoy even more neighborly camaraderie at the community gardens where you can grow your own flowers, fruits and vegetables.

For those few times you want to venture out of Rarity Bay, it's only a short drive to some great areas for dining, shopping, entertaining and relaxing. East Tennessee is a dynamic and great place to live. Knoxville has lots of great attractions and is home to the University of Tennessee, museums, theaters, restaurants and businesses. Some of the businesses with corporate headquarters in Knoxville are the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Regal Entertainment Group, Ruby Tuesday's and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Within minutes, emergency personnel can be at your Rarity Bay doorstep, and Knoxville has three top-notch healthcare systems for quality care and service.

Living at Rarity Bay is not for everyone. If you're looking for a waterfront, golf, resort-style East Tennessee community, than Rarity Bay is for you. We would love to show you this great Tennessee real estate opportunity and have you meet the exclusive group that makes up our Rarity Bay family.
