About this home
No deferred maintenance or DIY project necessary on this completely renovated five bedroom five bath lodge that sleeps up to 16 and separate guest house with two bedrooms and a loft that sleeps 6, located 1500 feet from the Rich Mountain Rd exit out of Cades Cove and the trailheads for Ace Gap and Rich Mountain hiking trails. Situated on 7.22 acres of private woodland, this property offers spectacular mountain views, convenient seclusion, and the opportunity to build additional structures, already having underground electric and water in place. Both existing homes offer every desired amenity including theater, pool tables, hot tubs, fire rings, stainless steel appliances, new bedding, fully equipped kitchens, high end grills, new roofs, and main lodge offers an elevator and garage. This could be a family legacy property, offering the ability to live in one home, while renting or leasing the others, or maximize rental income on all and enjoy when not rented. This is a truly magical location that feels as though you are in Cades Cove, yet less than five minutes from Tuckaleechee Caverns, IGA Grocery Store, Vee Hollow Mountain Bike Trails, the Little River, shops and restaurants in the City of Townsend, and less than thirty minutes from Pigeon Forge, Knoxville Airport, Maryville, hospitals, and under 45 minutes from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Gatlinburg.
