Description
Open to offers.
Site has room to extend if desired. Can be sold Fully Furnished (as currently priced).
Located in gorgeous Townsend, one of the three Tennessee gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this single family home sits in a very desirable and sought after location, making it an excellent vacation home, retirement home, and investment property.
The property is located in Dry Valley, (which sits directly adjacent to the North side of Cades Cove, one of the Great Smoky Mountains most popular attractions) This cozy home sits on 1.24 acres of charming forest land, boasting hillsides of natural rock outcroppings, open areas with stunning views of Rich Mountain, along with almost fairytale-like forested areas, much of which is carpeted with natural moss that is both aesthetically beautiful, low maintenance, and stays green all year round.
This home certainly has something for everyone, making it perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
Whether you’re a garden enthusiast looking for a peaceful place to pass the hours pottering around the grounds, or enjoying company on the front deck, this little gem of a place is a great find!
The site boasts a diverse collection of mature trees, numerous flowering shrubs and bushes, its very own small, loop walking trail, and what is said by locals to be the site and remains of a 120+yr old moonshine still, of which the very same campfire is still used today!
This place not only offers incredible access to everything that charming Townsend and The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has to offer, but also the vibrant nearby attractions of Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, all with the convenience (and peace of mind) of being just 20 minutes away from a major hospital, and 25 minutes away from McGhee Tyson airport. Also, the city of Maryville (with major shops and a mall) is just 10-12 miles away, and downtown Knoxville is a mere 30 mile drive.
If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, this home has a lot to offer. From low-key after dinner walks along the river, to serious backpacking in the Smoky’s most rugged terrain. Pedal bikers can enjoy miles and miles of newly paved, easy-ride biking, or challenge themselves on the extreme mountain bike trails of Townsend’s Vee Hollow. You can go fishing on the Little River, or tubing on its family fun tubing section. There’s also a wide spectrum of dining, hotel, and campsite options, and of course 500,000 acres of stunning national park. Oh, and Dollywood amusement park is located just 23 miles from this property!
Besides being enviably located so close to Cades Cove, (plus back door access to picturesque White Oak Sinks), this home is also literally within walking distance of two seasonal tourist attractions, Tuckaleechee Caverns, and Davy Crockett riding stables. Golfers will be pleased to know you’re just minutes away from Wild Laurel Golf Course, while other local amenities include shops, a post office, hardware store, grocery store, a veterinary clinic, Heritage Museum, festival/events grounds, a miniature golf course, a large selection of budget friendly dining options, as well as fine dining at Dancing Bear Lodge, or the world famous Blackberry Farms, and more! Snow enthusiasts can visit nearby Ober Mountain for skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, ice skating and more. There are 2 local summer camps (offering various day and sleep-away options).
Simply put, this is a must see property that is sure to appeal to a wide variety of home buyers/investors.
No HOA’s

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school, along with most of my family, and all I can tell you is that you should NOT send your kid here. if you are okay with your children being degraded by not only the other students, but staff and faculty too, then this is the school for you. they don't go into depth about school topics, leaving your children confused and then fail them because they don't understand. they will blame the students and their families for the schools' own faults, even ignoring extremely important notices for the students and parents. they DO NOT take bullying seriously, I went all three years and after a multitude of reports of bullying I dealt with firsthand, there was still nothing done at all. they have even ignored a sexual assault that happened to a dear friend of mine all because the boy who did it was popular and on the wrestling team. your kids and you will be absolutely miserable because the school itself. the teachers are rude and so are the rest of the staff, they are all so self-absorbed, they can't see the harm they are actually causing. they never notify parents about important things, like example, the buses. if they do notify, its last minute. they even made my sister sit in her own period blood all day because they wouldn't let her call our mom to ask for a spare pair of clothes, so all school day (7-8 hours.) they purposely made her sit in her own blood. they would also discriminate against students of color and even peoples sexual and gender identities.Other Review1y ago
