Timbertop Growth Investment Fund (TGIF) - Rarity Bay Resort Development
Timbertop Land Company, through its flagship investment vehicle TGIF, is transforming Tennessee's crown jewel lakefront property into a world-class, multi-generational luxury resort destination. Our 1,700-acre Rarity Bay Resort project represents one of the most significant lakefront resort developments in the Southeast, combining pristine natural beauty with sophisticated amenities and a proven tax-advantaged investment structure.

The Opportunity
Rarity Bay sits on the shores of Tellico Lake in East Tennessee, offering unparalleled water access, mountain views, and proximity to major metropolitan markets including Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta. This master-planned community will feature luxury residential homesites, a championship golf course, full-service marina, clubhouse facilities, wellness center, and resort-caliber amenities designed to attract discerning buyers seeking both lifestyle quality and investment value.

Business Model
Our innovative ground lease development model creates multiple revenue streams while preserving long-term asset value. We acquire and develop premium lakefront real estate, lease homesites to builders and individual buyers under long-term ground leases, and retain ownership of the underlying land. This structure generates immediate development revenue, recurring lease income, and substantial long-term appreciation potential while minimizing capital intensity.

The project is structured as a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investment, offering investors exceptional tax benefits including capital gains deferral, partial exclusion, and potentially tax-free appreciation on the investment itself.

Target Market
Our primary customers include affluent retirees, second-home buyers, and families seeking legacy properties in a resort community setting. The development appeals to buyers prioritizing:

  • Waterfront lifestyle and outdoor recreation
  • Championship golf and country club amenities
  • Multi-generational gathering spaces
  • Investment-grade real estate in an appreciating market
  • Proximity to major cities while maintaining natural serenity
Development Vision
Rarity Bay will be positioned as the premier luxury lakefront community in Tennessee, featuring:

  • 600+ residential homesites across various product types
  • 18-hole championship golf course with clubhouse
  • Full-service marina with 200+ boat slips
  • Resort amenities including pools, fitness facilities, dining, and event spaces
  • Preserved green spaces and waterfront access throughout
  • Gated security and concierge services
