Choto Estates — Knox County, TN Real Estate
A Knox County neighborhood on the Choto peninsula, set between Farragut and Friendsville near Fort Loudoun Lake.
About Choto Estates
Choto Estates sits on the Choto peninsula in southwest Knox County, bordered by the waters of Fort Loudoun Lake. It lies about five miles south of Farragut and roughly the same distance north of Friendsville, with Louisville to the east across the lake. The area is reached by Choto Road and Northshore Drive, both of which wind along the peninsula's shoreline and connect to the broader Knoxville road network. Neighboring subdivisions such as Choto Hills, Mystic Ridge, Gravelly Hills, Rocky Slope, Channel Point and Lake Cove share this stretch of shoreline, giving the area a continuous run of residential streets built around the lake's coves and inlets. The setting is defined by its water access and wooded terrain rather than commercial development, with most errands handled in nearby Farragut.
Living in Choto Estates
Homes in Choto Estates are generally single-family houses on wooded or water-adjacent lots, with some properties backing up to coves of Fort Loudoun Lake. Streets curve along the peninsula's contours, and many lots have mature tree cover. Northshore Drive and Choto Road provide the main routes north toward Farragut, where Kroger, Turkey Creek shopping and Parkside Drive retail handle most everyday needs. Boat ramps and lake access points are common features sought out in this area given the shoreline setting. Farragut's commercial corridor along Kingston Pike is the closest hub for larger shopping trips, while Friendsville to the south offers a more rural counterpoint.
