JOIN THE TENNESSEE VOLUNTEER FAMILY

Did you know that Tennessee earned the nickname “The Volunteer State” because of the prominent role by Tennessee volunteer soldiers during the War of 1812? We have continued our legacy of volunteering and true southern hospitality and are proud to have a state that is a very welcoming place to live and visit. Our Tennessee volunteers make up a close-knit family of natives, transients and visitors.

Visit our side of the country and become an exclusive member of this Tennessee volunteer family. Our state has a lot to offer. Four distinct, but mild seasons make it an enjoyable place to live all throughout the year. The low cost of living and lack of state income taxes also make it a comfortable and more relaxed way of life here in Tennessee. From Knoxville, you can venture to within a day’s drive of 75 percent of the U.S. population to visit the beach, mountains or plains.

From the Tennessee River you can travel all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway that travels all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. The Great Smoky Mountains, the most-visited national park in the country, is home to areas perfect for relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors. If you’re an outdoorsman, the mountains, lake, rivers and valleys of East Tennessee are perfect for hiking, trail riding, hunting and much more!

Rarity has created master-planned amenity communities that highlight the natural beauty and serenity of East Tennessee. Looking for the best place to retire? Look no more because Rarity has something for everyone. Whether it is a lake property, mountain property or golf course property, we have them all and much more. Each custom estate home, condominium, villa or town home features exquisite craftsmanship and a specific architectural design for each community. For instance, Rarity Bay in Vonore, Tenn. has homes, condos and villas with French Country architecture, while Rarity Pointe in Lenoir City has homes and villas in an English Manor style.

While most of the communities geared toward retirees, Rarity welcomes individuals, families and children from across the country. Folks come from Florida, Michigan, New Jersey and even California to retire to East Tennessee and are thrilled to get away from worrying about hurricanes, snow and earthquakes. The true beauty of Knoxville and the Rarity communities is their location down between the mountains of East Tennessee where there are no hurricanes and the seasons pass by pretty mildly. Here we can play golf, boat and generally enjoy the outdoors year round.

Volunteer the rest of your life to living your dreams in the Tennessee way.
