About this home
55.82 acres of unspoiled Appalachian beauty, tucked between the Foothills Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains. This is a rare opportunity to own acreage in one of the most scenic corridors in East Tennessee. The property's southern-facing slope opens to spectacular long-range mountain views, with the peaks of Great Smoky Mountains National Park rising across the horizon. Morning fog settles into the valleys below and the ridgelines change color with every season, offering a view that never looks the same twice. The land is heavily wooded with mature old-growth hardwoods and towering evergreens, and the understory is filled with native Appalachian mountain laurel and rhododendron that bloom through late spring and early summer. Wildlife is abundant and the setting is quiet and private. Access has already been established. A cut road runs into the property and splits, with one leg heading north and the other running northeast, opening up multiple homesite options across the tract. Whether you're planning a mountain retreat, a family compound, or a long-term investment hold, the groundwork is in place. Properties of this size, with this caliber of view and this proximity to the National Park and the Foothills Parkway, rarely come available. Come walk it and see for yourself.
