About this home

IT'S VERY RARE IN SEVIER COUNTY TO FIND THIS MUCH ACREAGE WITH CITY SERVICES AND YOUR NEIGHBOR IS THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS NATIONAL PARK. THERE ARE FOUR PARCELS, ONE IS THE LARGE ONE WITH MOST OF THE ACREAGE BUT AT THE BOTTOM THERE'S OLD HOUSE WE GIVE NO VALUE WHERE LOW GAP AND ESSLINGER MEET. LOW GAP IS A ONE WAY STREET ESSLINGER IS NOT..THIS FRONTS BOTH ROADS THE BIG TRACTS IS ZONED C2& YOU CAN BUILD CONDOS ON IT WITH GROUND FLOOR BEING PARKING OR YOU CAN DIVIDE UP INTO LOTS BUT EACH LOT HAS TO HAVE SO MUCH FRONTAGE ON THE STREET. I THINK CONDOS LOOKING INTO THE NATIONAL PARK AND YOU WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND YOUR HIKING AND ENJOYING THE LOVELY MOUNTAINS. THE OLD HOUSE AT THE BOTTOM IS OF NO VALUE IT AND ONE LOT IS STILL ZONED R1 CUT PLANNING SAYS IT WON'T BE A PROBLEM TO ZONE THEM COMMERCIAL TOO. CITY SERVICES ARE AT THE TOP. FOUR DIFFERENT PARCELS ON THIS PROPERTY ALTHOUGHT IT'S NOT RESTRICTED YOU WOULD NEED TO GO BY THE c2 ZONING..BU T THAT'S A GREAT ADVANTAGE. I'VE GOT CITY LOTS IN THE DOCS...AGAIN THE NATIONAL PARK IS YOUR NEIGHBOR....YOU CAN DRIVE BY ANYTIME..NO NEED TO CALL ME..DO NOT GO INTO THE HOUSE THOUGH..
