Build your Smoky Mountain Retreat in one of Gatlinburg's most desirable areas! Imagine arriving at your own private mountain cottage, tucked among mature trees just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. Whether you're dreaming of a peaceful personal getaway, a cozy second home, or a profitable short-term rental, these two adjoining wooded lots offer the rare opportunity to create something truly special in one of Gatlinburg's established mountain communities. Located near the Gatlinburg Arts & Crafts Community, this property offers the peace and privacy of the Smokies while remaining remarkably convenient. You'll enjoy easy county road access while being just minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, shopping, dining, entertainment, and all the attractions that make this area one of the most visited destinations in the country. The combined 0.35-acre homesite includes two adjoining lots, with one lot accommodating the future homesite while the second accommodates the previously approved 1-bedroom septic field layout. This permit (renewal required) along with availability of city water, electric, cable/hi-speed internet, and a recent survey helps simplify the planning process. The moderately sloping terrain is perfectly suited for a mountain cottage with outdoor living spaces that embrace the natural setting. Picture a covered porch, expansive deck, hot tub, outdoor fireplace or fire pit, and days surrounded by towering trees, birdsong, and the peaceful atmosphere that makes the Smokies so unforgettable. To help you imagine what this wooded mountain homesite could become, the owners commissioned three conceptual home designs exploring different architectural possibilities for the property. While these illustrations are provided for inspiration only and do not represent engineered construction plans or approved building designs, they show just a few possibilities for the property ... come take a look soon, and see what you can envision here!
