A rare opportunity to own land in one of the Smokies' most protected and desirable corridors. This 2.127-acre level homesite on Bethel Church Road sits just down the road from the newly acquired 600+ acre Oliver Tract, soon to be added to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As the surrounding landscape becomes permanently preserved, this property gains exceptional long-term value, privacy, and scenic integrity.
Partially cleared and ready for your vision, the land offers breathtaking mountain views, mature trees, and a gentle grade ideal for building. Water and electricity are at the road, and the soil has been mapped for at least a 3-bedroom septic system, giving you a smooth start to construction.
With minimal restrictions (no mobile homes) and Short-Term Rentals permitted, this parcel is perfectly suited for a luxury cabin, second home, or full-time residence. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the quick access to the Townsend Historic Trail, the river, and multiple GSMNP entrances. The proposed new Tremont Institute campus nearby further enhances the area's conservation, education, and eco-tourism appeal.
Located just 25 minutes from Knoxville Airport, 45 minutes from Knoxville, and 15 minutes from healthcare, this peaceful country setting blends convenience with unmatched natural beauty. A truly special piece of land in a rapidly evolving conservation landscape.
