Weekends in Fort West: Hosting at 12736 Broken Saddle Rd

Picture a Saturday in late October at the back of Fort West. Coffee in a sunroom full of morning light, a quick trip to a Farragut park, an afternoon by a saltwater pool, then friends around the fire pit once the sun goes down. That whole weekend fits inside one address: 12736 Broken Saddle Rd, an all-brick, 4-bedroom home listed by our CEO, Britany Boatwright.

We've already toured the pool, the brick and the schools, and we've mapped the drive times. Today is about how this house lives when the week is over and the people you love come through the door. If you're new to the area, our pros and cons of living in Farragut is a good place to start.

Here's how the weekend plays out:

Elevated Media Co. filmed this short walkthrough. Watch it first, then follow along below as we walk through a weekend here.

Saturday Morning in the Sunroom

The sunroom is where Saturday starts. It got a brand-new mini split in September 2026, so it stays comfortable on a chilly fall morning and on a sticky July one too. From there it's a few steps to the kitchen, which has an eat-in area, a breakfast bar for the early risers and a pantry deep enough for a weekend of groceries.

Main-level floors are new LVP, easy to wipe up when wet feet pad in from the pool later. Central air is zoned, and the upstairs HVAC system is new, which helps when one floor fills up with guests and the other stays quiet.

Farragut Parks a Few Minutes Away

Fort West sits on the west side of Farragut, and several of the Town of Farragut's parks are a short drive from the front door. Park details below come from the Town of Farragut's parks page. Drive times are from the home's MLS location using OpenStreetMap routing on October 27, 2026, shown as ranges because traffic and game-day crowds change things.

• Mayor Bob Leonard Park, 301 Watt Road: about 2 miles, 5 to 10 minutes. The town describes it as a 50-acre sports complex with lighted turf fields, nine lighted pickleball courts, sand volleyball and a lighted walking loop around a wetlands area.
• McFee Park, 917 McFee Road: about 2.5 miles, 5 to 10 minutes. Farragut's largest park has a splash pad, a lighted playground, tennis courts, pavilions and an adaptive bike and hike trail.
• Founders Park at Campbell Station, 405 Campbell Station Road: about 4.5 miles, 10 to 15 minutes, with a lighted paved walking trail and picnic pavilions.
• Anchor Park, 11730 Turkey Creek Road: about 4.5 miles, 10 to 15 minutes. This 19-acre lakeside park has a fishing pond, two accessible fishing piers, a playground and pavilions with grills.

The town also counts more than 25 greenway segments covering over 20 miles, so a weekend bike ride is easy to fit in. Want more homes close to these parks? Look across Knox County homes for sale, and see our earlier post on getting around Farragut from Broken Saddle Rd for weekday drive times.

Afternoon by the Saltwater Pool

By early afternoon the backyard takes over. The in-ground saltwater pool sits beside a Trex deck and a patio, and a full privacy fence wraps the whole yard. The basketball goal gives anyone who isn't swimming something to do, and the level lot means the yard is easy to use from end to end.

Here's the part hosts will love: all of the outdoor pool furniture and the pool toys convey with the house. That means the first pool party can happen the weekend you move in, with nothing extra to shop for.

Evening Around the Fire Pit and Den

When the air cools off, the party moves under the pergola and around the fire pit. East Tennessee fall nights are made for this, and the privacy fence keeps the backyard feeling like your own little corner of Farragut.

Inside, the two-story den is the gathering spot. It has a cathedral ceiling and a brick fireplace with gas logs, so it's ready the minute someone says it's cold. The listing also notes a wet bar, which keeps drinks and snacks close to the crowd and out of the cook's way in the kitchen.

Movie Night Upstairs

Sunday night belongs to the movie room upstairs. It's prewired for surround sound, and the screen and projector convey, so the setup is done before you unpack a single box. There's also a separate bonus room on that level for game tables, a reading corner or overflow sleeping bags after a sleepover.

A Floor Plan Built for Hosting

Good hosting depends on layout as much as the backyard. With about 4,009 square feet, this plan gives guests room to spread out:

• A flex room on the main level works as a formal dining room for holiday meals or as a home office on weekdays.
• Another main-level room works as a bedroom or playroom and sits right next to a full bath, which is handy for overnight guests or anyone who would rather skip the stairs.
• Four bedrooms and three full baths in all, with new carpet in every bedroom and walk-in closets noted in the listing.
• Fresh paint throughout and a tankless water heater, so a full house of showers after a pool day isn't a problem.
• Parking for a crowd: the 2-car side-entry garage, an extended driveway for up to five cars, and on-street parking noted in the listing.

Built in 1989 and updated where it counts, the house is set up for the way weekends really go here, with family in town, friends dropping by, and a cooler that never seems to empty.
