1011 Margit Worsham Way, Gatlinburg, TN 37738 (MLS# 244798)

Resting on one of the most desirable lots at the top of sought after Estates at Norton Creek, you'll find this rustically elegant "Mountain Shingle" style estate home. Construction of the highest quality on a very private one acre homesite perched on a walkable mountain top lot with panoramic views of the Smokies and Mount LeConte. Beautiful details abound in this spacious, 5BD/5BA, 2-half BA, 5,400+ sq ft mountain home, such as use of historic materials incorporated from owner's family Virgina farm. Special features include a variety of hardwoods, cathedral ceilings, coffered ceiling, two laundry rooms, reading den, fenced yard for pets, open decks, covered patio, fire pit, screened porch with a mountain stone fireplace and integrated stone pizza oven, attached two car garage and level parking. Ideal for use as a permanent residence, second home, or as an overnight rental. Currently used as a hybrid second home/rental property (it's often occupied by the owner's and their guests) it still generates around $100k annually. The current rental manager projects up to $200k in gross rental income with less owner use- it has tremendous rental potential. For instance, convert the existing two car garage into an additional amenity with the addition of a swim spa and roll up glass garage doors. There is also an unfinished lower level room that would make an excellent theatre room and a space over the garage that could be a bunk room. Additions such as these could push the gross rental income well over $250k/year. About the location-The Estates at Norton Creek is a unique mountain development of superb quality with underground utilities and a gated entrance. This neighborhood started life as part of a private 3,000+ acre ranch and is the only portion of that large, private holding to be developed. It boasts a stunning setting that begins with the entrance along beautiful Norton Creek off the Foothills Parkway between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Use of the world class fly fishing stream is reserved for residents and their guests, along with the charming creek side owner's pavilion. It's a short drive to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance as well. Come see it, you will instantly fall in love!
