About this home

Discover the ultimate canvas for your mountain home. Nestled within Chestnut Tops--a private, 170-acre gated East Tennessee development--this gorgeous 5.66-acre property offers an unparalleled connection to nature, serenity, and seclusion. The listing includes two parcels (6637 Avens Lane and 6611 S Wallace), providing remarkable flexibility for its next owner. Richly blanketed in native mountain laurel, vibrant rhododendron, and towering old-growth trees, this acreage provides the perfect East Tennessee retreat. The seller had two ideal building sites in mind on the property. Build toward the mid to back of the property to unlock views of the majestic Great Smoky Mountains (clearing a few trees may be desired, as summer foliage can block the view). As an incredible bonus, the seller is including the adjoining 6611 S Wallace lot--an unrestricted parcel that introduces the possibility of building a second dwelling or guest house. Designed specifically for those who value privacy and long-term property interests, all Chestnut Top residences are required to be on at least 5 acres. The neighborhood covenants strictly protect the community's tranquil atmosphere by prohibiting both short-term and long-term rentals, ensuring your investment remains part of a quiet, pristine residential haven. Embrace the authentic mountain lifestyle by starting your day watching the quiet mountain mist lift off the ridges. You will regularly enjoy the sights of local wildlife, including wild turkeys and the occasional black bear meandering through the area. The owner built a stone fireplace to enjoy if you're not quite ready to build your home or to use as a future s'more gathering spot! Property owners also have the optional opportunity to join the Top of the World Landowners Association. Membership unlocks exclusive access to exceptional recreational amenities just minutes from your door, including 4 private, non-motorized boat lakes perfect for fishing and kayaking, a dedicated sandy beach area for relaxation, community boat ramp and a pavilion ideal for casual socializing or special events. While the property feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle, modern conveniences are just a short drive away. You'll enjoy immediate access to the natural wonders of the Great Smoky Mountains, world-class hiking trails, pristine fishing spots, and kayaking. The world-famous Tail of the Dragon is easily accessible for weekend motorcycle and sports car rides. Head into nearby Maryville for excellent local shopping, diverse dining options, and everyday essentials. Located approximately 45 minutes from McGhee Tyson Regional Airport for easy travel connections, with Knoxville also within a comfortable driving distance. Schedule your private tour today to experience the unmatched beauty and endless potential of this exclusive mountain treasure!
