Welcome to the Saddle Ridge Subdivision website! We are a vibrant West Knoxville community of more than 200 homes in Farragut, Tennessee. With a manicured entrance, spacious brick homes, gracious amenities, excellent schools, friendly neighbors, planned social activities, and beautiful views of the Great Smoky Mountains, Saddle Ridge is a great place to live. Our location is convenient for quick access to I-40/I-75, Knoxville, Oak Ridge and Lenoir City as well as local shopping, restaurants, hospitals, walking trails and community parks. Saddle Ridge’s amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, playground, and two tennis courts with added striping for pickle ball play. We have an active volunteer HOA Board which works to ensure our amenities and common areas remain in excellent condition and uphold Saddle Ridge covenants and rules to the benefit of all of our homeowners. Plan to visit us soon; we think you’ll like what you see!

HOA Board Meeting and Elections: Date: March 11th Time: 7:00 PM Location: Saddle Ridge Clubhouse

Special Announcement!

Please be  informed  that the terms for the President, Vice President, and Secretary positions on the HOA board are coming to an end. It has been a pleasure serving our community, and we appreciate the support and collaboration from our neighbors.  

We are now seeking dedicated individuals to step into these leadership roles. If you are interested in running for any of these positions, please let us know as soon as possible. A neighborhood vote will be required to fill these positions. Without community members stepping up, an outside organization may need to take over HOA management, which could result in less control over how our neighborhood is run.  

Your involvement is crucial in keeping Saddle Ridge a great place to live. Please consider joining the HOA board and making a positive impact on our community.  

If you have any questions or are interested in a position, feel free to reply to this email or reach out directly. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
