Before Sunday's Open House: Buyer Questions About 12736 Broken Saddle Rd

Every buyer walks into an open house with a mental checklist, and most of those lists look alike. Before the doors open at 12736 Broken Saddle Rd on Sunday, November 1, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern, we pulled together straight answers to the questions we hear most about this Fort West home.

Britany Boatwright and our MaX House team have this one listed, and this is our fifth post about it. Earlier posts covered the backyard, the drive times, weekend hosting and a room-by-room tour. This one is pure Q&A: what is new, what stays, where the cars go and what to check while you are inside. If Farragut is new to you, start with our Farragut moving guide.

When Is the Open House?

Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM Eastern, according to the MLS. Chris Wrede is hosting. Daylight saving time ends early that morning, so clocks fall back an hour before the open house starts. Your phone will handle the switch on its own, but double-check the car clock before you head out.

Plans change, so the 12736 Broken Saddle Rd listing page is the place to confirm the time and see every photo before you go.

Can I See a Video Tour First?

Yes. Elevated Media Co. filmed a short vertical walk-through. Watching it before Sunday helps you decide which rooms deserve a second look in person.

What Has Been Updated, and How Recently?

Plenty, and much of it is recent. A mini split went into the sunroom this September, so that work is only weeks old. The rest of the list from the MLS:

• Luxury vinyl plank floors, newly laid downstairs
• Carpet replaced in every bedroom
• A fresh coat of paint inside
• A new HVAC system for the upstairs, with zoned central air
• A tankless water heater
• Replacement windows through much of the home
• An insulated garage door with a new opener

The MLS doesn't list install dates for every item beyond the mini split, so ask the host on Sunday or send us your list and we will chase down the details. Fewer near-term projects can make a real difference in your first-year budget, since money you would have spent on repairs can go toward furniture or savings.

What Conveys With the House?

Two groups of items are listed as staying with the house. Upstairs, the projector and the movie screen stay put, and the room already has wiring for surround speakers. Out back, the pool furniture and pool toys convey too.

That means the first movie night and the first swim can happen the week you move in, without a trip to buy gear. As with any home, confirm the final list of included items in your purchase contract, since the contract is what counts at closing. We wrote more about how that movie room fits into a weekend in our Fort West weekend post.

Where Does Everyone Park?

Parking is one of this home's quiet strengths. There is an attached two-car garage with side entry, plus an extended driveway the listing says holds up to five cars. A teenager with a first car, a work truck or a houseful of holiday guests all fit without anyone parking in the street.

On Sunday, park on the street and walk the driveway yourself. Picture your own vehicles in it, and check the garage for storage space along the walls.

How Big Is the Lot, and How Private Is the Yard?

At 0.37 acre, the lot is flat and landscaped, set near the rear of the subdivision. A privacy fence runs the full perimeter of the backyard. Inside it sit a fire pit, a basketball goal, a pergola over a Trex deck and the saltwater pool.

A level yard makes everyday life easier, from mowing to setting up a swing set. If the yard is the reason you are interested, our first post on 12736 Broken Saddle Rd goes deeper on the pool and the all-brick exterior.

Which Schools Is It Zoned For?

The MLS lists Farragut Primary, Farragut Middle and Farragut High for this address, all part of Knox County Schools. School zones can change, so confirm the assignment with Knox County Schools using the street address before you make an offer.

Has the Price Changed?

Yes, once. The home came on the market on September 29, 2026, at $850,000. On October 22 the price dropped $21,000 to the current $829,000.

A price cut a few weeks in can open room for a conversation, and our team can pull recent sales nearby so your offer rests on real numbers. To see what $829,000 means per month at today's rates, try our mortgage calculator. If you are weighing it against other upper-end homes, compare it with current luxury listings in Farragut.

What Should I Look At During the Open House?

Two hours goes fast. Here is a short checklist to bring along:

• The sunroom: turn on the new mini split and feel how quickly the room responds.
• The main-level bedroom: it sits next to a full bath, so picture it as a guest room, a playroom or a bedroom for anyone who would rather skip the stairs.
• The two-story den: stand by the gas log fireplace and look up at the ceiling height.
• The flex room: decide whether it reads as a formal dining room or a home office for your household.
• The bonus room and movie room upstairs: check sound between the two if you plan to use both at once.
• Closets and storage: open the doors, and bring a tape measure for your largest furniture.
• The back fence line: walk the yard and look at the view from the pool deck.

The floor plan walk-through in our room-by-room post makes a handy map to skim on your phone while you walk.

How Do I Book a Private Showing?
