Trade Yard Work for Tee Times This Year

We’re approaching spring, and with rising temperatures comes mowing season in East Tennessee. If you are relocating to East Tennessee in retirement, the last thing you want to do is spend hours doing yard work in the heat. Early mornings are much better spent catching the perfect tee time!

At Saddlebrook, we offer several communities that include lawn maintenance, giving you the freedom to enjoy the lifestyle you moved here for. That means less time mowing the lawn and more time exploring the beautiful golf courses just minutes away. Learn more about each community and the courses nearby.

Meadows on McFee
Meadows on McFee is a beautiful maintenance-free community with limited new homes and lots remaining in early 2026. This community of only 68 homes is located in Farragut, adjacent to McFee Park, so it is the perfect choice for golfers who truly love spending time outdoors. McFee Park features many walking and biking trails as well as tennis courts. Meadows on McFee also connects to Farragut’s greenway system, which provides approximately 20 miles of trails. Meadows on McFee is less than an 8-minute drive to Willow Creek Golf Course and Fox Den Country Club. When buying or building in Meadows on McFee, you’ll choose from floor plans that prioritize one-level living with desirable features such as an outdoor covered porch or optional bonus room.

Stonemeade
Located just a few minutes down the road from Meadows on McFee, you’ll find Saddlebrook’s newest maintenance-free community, Stonemeade, which is currently under construction in early 2026. This community is in a highly sought-after Farragut location within walking distance to Fox Den Country Club and less than 10 minutes’ drive to Willow Creek Golf Course. Stonemeade offers some of our newest floor plans in a variety of elevations, including a popular French Country design.
