140 portside way

There's something about life on Nickajack Lake that slows the pace of the world. Morning sunlight dances across the Tennessee River, the mountains rise quietly in the distance, and the air feels just a little lighter out here. Inside the gates of Crown Harbor, a private lakeside community, sits a home that feels perfectly at peace with its surroundings—modern, calm, and connected to nature in every direction. Completed in 2024 by Everette Custom Homes, this like-new contemporary retreat was crafted with both design and longevity in mind. Every detail reflects thoughtful intention, from its clean architectural lines to its energy-efficient systems and the fully encapsulated crawlspace that protects the home and reduces costs year-round. With over 2,600 square feet, four bedrooms, and two and a half baths, the spaces inside feel open yet warm—where laughter carries easily from the kitchen to the living room and sunsets flood every window with golden light. Step outside and the world opens up. From the front porch, the mountains stretch endlessly across the horizon. From the back, the Tennessee River glimmers in the afternoon sun. Neighbors wave as they stroll toward the community pool or gather under the covered pavilion for evening get-togethers. And just a few minutes down the road, you'll find the marina and boat launch at Shellmound Park, where weekends turn into long, unhurried days on the water. This is where serenity and convenience meet. Downtown Chattanooga is only about 17 minutes away, offering endless dining and entertainment, while Nashville sits just an hour and a half up the highway for a quick getaway when you crave a change of scene. More than a house, this is a lifestyle—one that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly live where the mountains meet the water.
