It's Cold This Morning in Gatlinburg!!

Rarely does it get this cold in Gatlinburg, and that's one of the many reasons why people enjoy living here so.  Our very mild climate, but with discernible seasons, is one of my favorites.  Only occasionally does it get very hot or cold here in the Smokies.  To be sure, there are every winter a few days (although more often in January or February) when temperatures will fall into the teens.  Still, our winters are for the most part mild and short lived except if you are talking about at the peak of Mt. LeConte where much more extreme conditions are frequently encountered.  Two feet of new snow and temperatures hovering around zero don't sound mild at all!  For a taste of what the current weather conditions are at the LeConte Lodge, check out this link.

Fortunately, the land at the top of Mt. LeConte, or the rest of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park will never (I hope!) be for sale.  The real estate around our Gatlinburg area offers great mountain views, riverfront locations, and much more and as a bonus the weather is a lot milder too.  No snow in the valley today and a relatively balmy forecast high of 33 today sounds oh so much nicer!!  If you are interested in finding the perfect cabin, home, land, or commercial investment property, please contact us!

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Smoky Mountain Water Wells but were Afraid to Ask!

Unlike more urban communities, many Smoky Mountain homes still have water supplied by individual underground wells. The fact is that only a relatively small (but ever growing) portion of our area is served by municipal utility water. This is rarely a problem as wells here in the Gatlinburg and surrounding area usually produce clear and good tasting water for significantly less cost than utility water once the one-time expense of drilling the well is covered. In fact, while there are certainly exceptions, our area is known for exceptionally clean and good tasting well water. More than one brand of bottled water is actually drawn from underground sources right here in the Smokies. What can go wrong you ask? Unfortunately, plenty! In those relatively rare cases where a well’s iron or sulfur content causes the water to be unsuitable, a water filtration system can generally be installed to remedy the situation. Water filtration can be as basic as a very inexpensive cotton string filter th

I have had this blog since 2003 but didn't really get serious about regularly writing here until the beginning of 2007. I do truly enjoy the opportunity to share my thoughts about our local Gatlinburg area real estate market including the surrounding communities of Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Seymour, Kodak, and Cosby. The only problem with writing any type of blog is that you really aren't sure just how many people are reading much less care about what you are pontificating about. If you are reading this blog, regularly or for the very first time, PLEASE comment me. It's easy, painless, and won't leave any sort of mark. In fact, you can even remain totally anonymous but yet let me know that you are out there. Like the age old question of "If a tree falls in the forest with nobody there to hear, does it make a noise?", a blog writer could wonder "If I write something meaningful but nobody reads it, does it matter?". If you like, you can even tel

Just wondering how many folks are out there reading this Gatlinburg real estate blog.  Please comment with your home town - You can even stay anonymous if you wish.
