Motivated Sellers. Any reasonable offer considered. Fantastic build site already graded and mostly prepared for a spectacular mountain home. Large 5+ acre lots provide plenty of privacy and natural beauty. Scenic distant mountain views in the distance will remind the buyer why they chose this location. This 5.17 acre lot is located in the Chestnut Ridge gated community offering seclusion and security, yet is only minutes to Maryville in one direction, and Townsend and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the other. Improvements include a 400 foot deep well which has been capped and awaits activation, a gravel driveway all the way to the top where the build site is located, a storage shed with lockable door for storage and security, and a temporary power pole and meter base. Drone photos of the horizon were taken only 22 feet above the level grade of the build site in order to accurately convey the actual views from the 2nd story of a home if built here. Leveled build site area is currently approximately 40 feet wide x 60 to 70 feet long front to rear. A larger footprint could be had if desired. An apparent driveway was graded on and around the left side of the build site to a fairly flattened ''parking area''(?) on the far end which I've been calling the ''back side'' of the property and potential home. Gravel driveway has a steeper section near the top. Potential viewers are encouraged to come in either 4WD or AWD vehicles, or park in the level driveway near the bottom and walk up to the top. If you drive to the top, please do not drive onto level build site plateau at the top. Please park in front of the shed to left. An alternate driveway access solution may be possible and has not been explored. 4-Wheel-Drive or All-Wheel-Drive is recommended to obtain access to elevated build site via the gravel driveway. All documents and data have been collected and shared as honestly and transparently as we know how, and while presumed accurate, cannot be guaranteed. Buyers are encouraged to verify all measurements and data, have all inspections needed, get a survey, and buy title insurance.
