Gatlinburg Real Estate Blog

Only once in a very long while do we have the privilege of listing a truly phenomenal Smoky Mountain real estate property. Almost always, homes represent some degree of compromise. You may find a house with a truly incredible view, but the home is in the middle of nowhere in a location that is less than desirable. Another possibility is that we are offering a property that has the benefits of a resort location (pool, clubhouse, tennis, etc.) but the units are so close that you can shake hands with your neighbor without either of you leaving your own porch. Maybe we are offering a great home with a wonderful view but the floor plan is so cramped that staying for more than 24 hours threatens to give you hives. Most houses are indeed compromises of one sort or another. And then comes this home which has NO compromises whatsoever! "Star Dancer" is a log look (offering the benefits of log construction without all of the hassles) three master suite with four full baths and one half...

Our spectacular new listing at 3545 Carsons Ridge Way (appropriately nicknamed "Déjà View") features 30-foot cathedral ceilings with three sides of floor-to-ceiling glass to admire the unbelievable view of the Smoky Mountains and the Brothers Cove valleys. Want to get an even closer look? Step outside on the 50-foot-long wrap-around deck and soak in the panoramic vista! This area really is pristine as there are hardly any other homes in sight. Here is the actual view from the deck: The open floor plan with soaring ceilings make this large log cabin home feel even larger. Here is just a part of one of those walls of glass I was describing: There are also an abundance of fireplaces (inside and out) that this custom fully furnished home features. That's not all, "Déjà View" has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths (all full baths are ensuite type) and naturally, the bedrooms are also really special: Located in picturesque and gated Brothers Cove in the Waldens Creek area, you ...

For many years here in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge areas, as well as the rest of Sevier County, real estate developers have carved a tremendous number of cabins ever deeper into the forests around these communities. Recently, I have witnessed the revenge that the wild side of Sevier County has exacted upon some of these developments. Bears in downtown Sevierville, trees crashing through roofs, and then the more subtle but potentially even more destructive attack of the insects... Boring bees, termites, and other insects are a part of God's recycling plan that takes dead trees and converts them into mulch for the forest. Unfortunately, the rather unintelligent insects sometimes confuse purpose built structures (made from dead trees) with every day ordinary dead trees and the results can be disastrous. Consider the foreclosure home in Wears Valley we were just assigned that I viewed for the first time today: Sadly, the exterior of this Sevierville (actually Wears Valley) cabin is...
