Notes from the listing agent

Some homes fit one plan. This one adapts to yours. Live here full-time, use it as a whole-home overnight rental, live upstairs while renting the lower-level suite, create multigenerational space or explore renting each level separately. Few Smokies properties offer this flexibility, privacy and usable space. The advertised 2,362 sq ft is finished living space. Beyond it are 2,100+ sq ft of garages, decks, porches and outdoor-living areas--more than 4,460 sq ft across the finished home and additional areas. The upper/main level offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, laundry, vaulted living room with fireplace and garage. The walkout lower level adds a large bedroom/living suite with kitchenette, full bath, walk-in closet, central HVAC, private entrance, private deck and its own garage. Interior stairs connect the levels, while separate paved driveway approaches add privacy and independence. Two attached garages provide three bays of bonus space. Keep them for vehicles, boats, gear or a workshop--or reimagine the oversized lower garage as a home gym, golf simulator, game room or recreation space. For 5.5 years, the owner lived upstairs while successfully renting the lower-level suite as an Airbnb. Set on 1.55 wooded acres with no HOA: paved access without a steep mountain-road climb, strong cell service, RV parking, wraparound decks, hot tub, landscaped fire-pit retreat and seasonal stream. Recently and extensively updated inside and out, with custom epoxy counters, fresh paint, contemporary railings, modern lighting, updated fixtures and hardware--and beautifully landscaped grounds to complete the setting. Major furnishings and outdoor amenities convey. HVAC serviced and septic pumped May 2026. About 18 minutes to Dollywood and convenient to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, the Smokies and Knoxville. This is not just another Smokies cabin--it is a rare property to live in, rent out and reinvent. No income is represented; buyer to verify rental use, conversions and requirements.
