Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) peaks as Mt. LeConte and Clingman's Dome. Viewable nearby is Tuckaleechee Cove and the quaint village of Townsend on the "Peaceful Side of the Smokies". If location is the number one rule in real estate, this ranks a solid #1! Located near the top of Powell Ridge, part of Rich Mountain, this property is perfectly situated to take in world class views of the Smokies where you may see every sunrise and sunsets which turn the mountains aglow! All this, yet, you are less than 30 minutes away from the friendly small towns Maryville and Alcoa that feature shopping, fine eateries, top-level medical facilities, a four year college with the Clayton Arts Center (where you can see a play or hear musical concerts by famous entertainers) and the Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport providing major airline service to wherever your business or vacation plans require. Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Knoxville are just a short drive away. Bicyclists are delighted by the paved pathways and equestrians by the riding trails nearby in Townsend and Cades Cove. Motorcyclists may never leave as there are rides in every direction including the famous Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway. Play golf everyday at Wild Laurel, your home course, an Edmund B. Ault designed Par 70 course with Bermuda Fairways and Bent Grass Greens. Then relax at the Wild Laurel Club House featuring a full kitchen, a bar and veranda with breathtaking views of the Smokies or unwind with a swim in the pool. Hikers can take full advantage of being next door to one of the top hiking destinations in the east; the Smoky Mountain National Park with more than 800 miles of hiking trails. Ace Gap trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is only a 5 minute walk from the front door! Residents from around the globe have chosen this bit of Heaven on earth to live. This mountain property was hand-picked by Marine Lt. Gen. Robert Tiebout and his wife Lil. When they could get away from a busy military life they would often come to the Smoky Mountains. They searched the Townsend and Wears Valley areas of Blount County and stumbled onto Laurel Valley and immediately felt this is want they wanted. The incredible views along the upper elevations along Powell Ridge and Rich Mountain was the perfect place to build a home for life after serving our country for more than 30 years. The elevation gives you cool, refreshing breezes, yet has surprisingly easy access to this property as Laurel Valley offers paved roads and year-round road maintenance. The house is adjacent to Kelly Ridge Rd on 4.89 acres near a cul-de-sac in this quiet mountain community. What the Tiebouts say they like best about living here is the peacefulness, mountain views, pace of life, the wildlife, and the neighbors. They were even featured in Where To Retire Magazine. Comfort and views were important which is evident in the floor plan. The main level features a 4-season sunroom with walls of windows, kitchen with granite island, breakfast bar, 4-burner gas cooktop, copper prep sink, and open to the breakfast room and living room. The large living room features a wood burning fireplace and opens nicely to the sunroom. There is also a formal dining room, sitting room, and the master suite is on the main. Adjacent from the main is an enclosed walkway to a single car garage (with epoxy flooring) providing out of the weather parking on the main as well as 2 attached garages on the lower level (one with epoxy flooring and another large enough for 3 car parking). The main level also features excellent outdoor living on the west side with a cozy covered front porch and the east side with a large deck adjacent to the sunroom and accessible from the sitting room as well. The upper level of this home has plenty to offer for visiting guests with 2 additional master suites that are quite spacious. There are two sitting areas that can be shared plus there is an upper level office as well. Above the attached 1-car garage is another spacious room currently used as a workout room but could easily serve as a second living area or theater room. The lower level features the garages mentioned earlier. However, one of the garages (large enough to park 3 cars) is currently used as a woodworking shop and has a dust collection system in place which can be removed by the seller if not needed. There is also an outdoor living bonus on the lower level in the form of a four person patio that overlooks the backyard and has unsurpassed views of the mountains. It has been said this area of Laurel Valley may be the most desirable because of its picturesque views and natural beauty, which are protected from development, and change only with the seasons, plus the feeling of community where people look after one another.
