Providing a great experience for guests to relax, recharge and enjoy time with family and friends is what I do! I’m a Middle Tennessee native, working in residential real estate and self managing rental property.

Why they chose this property

Surrounded by nature and overlooking the clear waters of Smith Lake, there's a lot to love about Osprey Lake House and the surrounding community. Peace and quiet abounds with the added bonus and convenience of nearby Arley.

What makes this property unique

Situated on a point lot with year round water, the view is one of the best on the lake. The shoreline on the opposite side of the lake is mostly undeveloped providing an evergreen and deciduous backdrop of woods and waters to enjoy any time of year.
