Fox Den Information

Fox Den is an upscale golf and coun­try club com­mu­nity that was orig­i­nally devel­oped in the late 1960s and 1970s and was con­sid­ered by some back in the day to be the most pres­ti­gious neigh­bor­hood in west Knox County. It’s still pretty swank, and many folks are still will­ing to pay for the priv­i­lege of call­ing Fox Den home.

Homes in Fox Den are, for the most part, very large and very groovy. There are a few cus­tom homes still being built in the neigh­bor­hood, but most of the homes were built in the 70s and 80s. And although some still sport cus­tom fea­tures like sunken wet bars and sunken avo­cado green jacuzzi tubs, most have since been updated to 21st cen­tury stan­dards. These remod­eled homes go for top dol­lar, while fixer uppers usu­ally go for much less, mak­ing comps a tough thing in Fox Den.

The Fox Den Coun­try Club is at the cen­ter of life in Fox Den, and with good rea­son. With an 18 hole cham­pi­onship golf course that’s been home to The Knoxville Open (a PGA tour event) since 1999, seven ten­nis courts, junior Olympic swim­ming pool, fit­ness cen­ter, and mul­ti­ple din­ing options, there’s cer­tainly plenty to keep mem­bers happy & occupied.

If they should get bored with what’s avail­able at home, Fox Den res­i­dents can always hop in the car to enjoy one of the many nearby Town of Far­ragut parks, like Anchor Park, Mayor Bob Leonard Park or Camp­bell Sta­tion Park. And if res­i­dents still need some more time out­doors, they can take a stroll or jog on one of Farragut’s greenway’s or on its many side­walk lined streets.

Hun­gry Fox Den­ners cer­tainly don’t have a lack of options when it comes to din­ing. They can either dine at one of the coun­try club’s restau­rants, or they can visit one of sev­eral tasty nearby eater­ies. If they want to go a lit­tle more upscale, they can head over to the nearby Season’s Cafe, a wine bar with a scrump­tious Amer­i­can bistro style menu. For some­thing a lit­tle more laid back, they can chow down at Wild Wings Cafe, a national chain restau­rant with more TV’s and kinds of wings than you can shake a stick at. Or if they want some­thing com­pletely out of the ordi­nary, they can pay a visit to Restau­rant Lin­der­hof, Knoxville’s only authen­tic Ger­man din­ing establishment.

Fox Den is also a short drive to the nearby Turkey Creek shop­ping area, which not only has just about any store you could ever need, but also has tons of restau­rants as well as Knoxville’s largest movie the­ater, the Regal Pin­na­cle 18.

Fox Den is cur­rently zoned for Far­ragut Ele­men­tary School, Far­ragut Inter­me­di­ate School, Far­ragut Mid­dle School, and Far­ragut High School.
