Description
Welcome to Smoky Mountain Legacy, a brand-new unique luxury 5000 sf cabin in the heart of Gatlinburg, TN. The perfect blend of vintage charm and modern luxury, ideal as a turnkey short-term rental investment or private mountain retreat. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted by a 20 year theme park veteran, this home is just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, providing guests with convenient access to the most-visited national park in the country.
Inside, the gourmet kitchen features high-end Z Line appliances, a Haden coffee suite, and ample dining space. The main living area is warm and inviting, centered around a double-sided see-thru fireplace, exposed wooden beams, and hand-carved details that highlight the home's rustic-meets-modern aesthetic. The primary suite offers a private escape with a luxurious soaking tub, shower with waterfall, and a private porch with infrared sauna, creating a spa-like experience within the comfort of your own home.
Upstairs, two uniquely designed bedrooms provide charm and comfort. The front bedroom features a cozy reading nook, designed for quiet relaxation. The luxurious bathroom, measuring 15x13 feet, is the size of most standard bedrooms with a stunning oversized shower with high-end finishes. A music-themed office serves as a functional workspace, while a secondary living area with a coffee bar and mini-fridge provides additional space for guests to unwind. Step out onto the private upstairs porch to enjoy stunning panoramic mountain views, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding.
Downstairs, a theater room immerses guests in a cinematic experience, with walls adorned with movie prop memorabilia and LED-lit recliner seating for a truly immersive experience. A standout feature is the museum-grade memorabilia display case, showcasing ''hero'' memorabilia—items worn on camera by actors, each verified with a Certificate of Authenticity. This unique collection elevates the space, making it a rare and highly desirable feature for movie enthusiasts. A vintage Coca-Cola bar, complete with a restored Coke cooler and a full-size fridge accesses the indoor pool via a roll-up door, adding a nostalgic touch to your entertainment spaces.
The home's outdoor spaces are just as impressive, with an enclosed heated pool that offers breathtaking panoramic mountain views, ensuring year-round enjoyment. The Japanese soaking tub is plumbed through the pool system to ensure 99% bacteria-free relaxation. The firepit and outdoor lounge area, accessible via roll-up garage doors, is perfect for evening gatherings and features a Blackstone grill for cooking under the stars. Inside the roll-up you have a prep kitchenette with full-sized fridge.
Families will appreciate the children's playground and fenced dog park, making it a welcoming retreat for guests of all ages. Additionally, an electric vehicle charger ensures convenience for those traveling with EVs.
Throughout the cabin, hickory, pekky cypress, and cedar floors and trim bring the warmth and craftsmanship of the Smokies indoors, adding to the home's timeless mountain aesthetic.
This one-of-a-kind property is not just a home but a high-performing short-term rental investment, positioned in a top-tier vacation market with high occupancy rates and premium nightly rental potential. You're 8 minutes from the Gatlinburg Welcome Center. Great Smoky Mountains National Park received 13M visitors, more than Yosemite, Yellowstone & the Grand Canyon combined (the next 3 most visited). Whether you are an investor looking for a new construction cabin investment or a buyer in search of a luxurious Smoky Mountain retreat, Smoky Mountain Legacy is a rare opportunity. Schedule your private showing today and experience the magic, the elegance, and the investment potential of this truly extraordinary property.
