Built in the 1930s along the Tennessee River, the Pickwick Dam preceded the development of the Lake Pickwick, and the lake houses that skirt its edges. Taking its name from the trees of the region, the Water Oak residence was designed to connect with the lake’s 1930’s origins and the summer lodge style emblematic of that time. Developed as a family retreat and second home, Water Oak nestles into the steep slope maximizing the connection with the lake; the orientation taking advantage of long panoramic views.
