Description

THE ULTIMATE SMOKY MOUNTAIN DEVELOPMENT! OWN AN ENTIRE MOUNTAINTOP--95+ Acres with UNMATCHED VIEWS! PRELIMINARY LEGWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN DONE! Welcome to Shell Mountain, a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create East Tennessee's next iconic destination. This spectacular 95+ acre ridge-top property combines three parcels into one offering, with a preliminary concept plan for 13 stunning build sites at the top with unlimited size and bedroom count, along with additional, usable acreage below for expansion. Zoning allows for incredible potential, from a luxury cabin community, a private resort, or a stunning wedding venue with onsite accommodations for the wedding party and guests (currently only a handful of wedding venues in the Smokies offer onsite lodging, creating a unique niche in the market). Enjoy 360 degree breathtaking views--north to Douglas Lake and valley panoramas, South to the postcard-worthy Smoky Mountains. Unlike many large mountain parcels, this property's unique positioning along county maintained Shell Road means easier access and reduced infrastructure costs. The ridge-top setting naturally levels at the peak, providing ideal, easily build-able sites with panoramic outlooks from every angle. The seller has previously obtained preliminary concept/site plan approval which has expired, but in speaking with county officials, if the same plan is submitted, approval should be granted. In addition, the seller has invested tremendous time, energy and resources to lay the groundwork for development. A pioneer road path has been previously cleared, and a preliminary drip system has been designed which allows for each build to be unlimited in size and bedroom count with variations on the flow rate. Additional documents that will be provided upon request include a Stormwater Pollution and Protection Plan, Soil Test Map and Road Works Package. The nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most-visited in the United States, with more than 12 million visitors flocking to the park annually, plus millions more who visit for the area's booming tourist attractions such as top-rated Dollywood theme park. In addition, the Smokies area is a top-rated honeymoon destination in the United States, making a wedding venue option a desirable one. Perfectly positioned to feel worlds away from the crowds, yet just minutes to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg, this spectacular property offers peace, privacy and convenience all in one. Shell Mountain has already become a hotspot for multi-million dollar luxury cabins, making this a secure, high-demand investment with proven short-term rental success. Don't miss this rare chance to secure a generational piece of the Smokies. A property with this combination of size, topography, views and development potential may never hit the market again! BONUS: An additional large acreage tract is available on the same street for those with an even bigger vision. The seller may also be open to seller financing.
