Description
Welcome to a rare investment opportunity in the Smoky Mountains! This property is back on the market at no fault to the owners and offers a unique combination of a fully renovated farmhouse with a thriving RV campground, creating unmatched flexibility, income potential, and endless possibilities.
The main farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated, blending its historic charm with modern comforts. Just minutes from downtown Franklin, it’s perfectly positioned for use as a primary residence, long-term rental, or highly desirable short-term rental. The spacious garage provides great storage, with the option to purchase equipment—including a tractor with attachments, golf carts, and a zero-turn mower—to maintain the property.
The Gem City RV Resort is a well-established, highly rated destination boasting a 4.7-star review average and impressive net income. The park currently features 20 rentable sites: 17 with full hookups (water, electric, and septic) and 3 with water and electric plus access to a septic dump spout. Guests benefit from a central bath house with showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Zoned C-2, the property supports both residential and commercial uses, with significant opportunity to expand—whether by adding RV sites, building entertainment areas, or new amenities. Two additional outbuildings add versatility and could be converted into dwellings, office space, a game room, or a campground store.
For buyers seeking options, the seller is open to selling the farmhouse and RV park separately. With expansive acreage and easy highway access, the property is ideally suited for growth. It’s also the second closest RV park to downtown Franklin, giving it a competitive advantage that keeps visitors returning year after year.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOffice staff will call you multiple times to come and pick your child up. You ask them , well is this going to count as a absent against my child. They tell you No. Which is not the truth. They do count it as a absent day. Trying to get parents into truency. The teachers don't watch the kids on the playground good. Then office calls and you have to rush your child to the hospital, to get surgery! The teachers write negative things about your kindergarden child , on there report card. Very sad!! As far as the principal he is good. The PE teacher he is the best I've ever seen!Parent Review5y ago - Franklin High

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averageim a junior atm but im in the summer school we offer and its pretty good the teachers mostly care about your grades they dont really focus on one student all the time though its more thats one or 2 students that arent paying attention but i do enjoy going there its a good school in all honesty.Student Review4y ago - Macon Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review11mo ago - Macon Early College High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOddly, MVI has for the last couple of years had a policy of no homework. This doesn't seem like a good strategy for a school that is performing poorly in standardized tests in all subject areas. Additionally, it fails to prepare students who will be entering the middle school across the street where homework is given and expected to be completed. Another step in the wrong direction this year was the removal of grouping by academic level. Mixing all levels together in classes results in teachers having to teach to the middle in classes of mixed abilities and fails to help both students at the higher and lower ends of the spectrum.Parent Review6mo ago
