Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Sevierville, Tennessee
5 Shell Mountain Rd, Sevierville, TN 37876
DRIP/COMMUNITY SEWER SYSTEM PLANS are GRANDFATHERED IN to current requirements (for 95+ bedrooms)* vs upcoming NEW REQUIREMENTS, making this property even more valuable for DEVELOPMENT, if desired. OWN AN ENTIRE MOUNTAINTOP IN THE SMOKIES--95+ Acres with UNMATCHED VIEWS! PRELIMINARY LEGWORK FOR DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN DONE, including PRELIMINARY CONCEPT/SITE PLAN APPROVAL!
Welcome to Shell Mountain, a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create East Tennessee's next iconic destination. This spectacular 95+ acre ridge-top property combines three parcels into one offering, with a preliminary concept plan for 13 stunning build sites at the top with unlimited size and bedroom count, plus additional, usable acreage below for expansion. Zoning allows for incredible potential, from a luxury cabin community, a private resort, or a stunning wedding venue with onsite accommodations for the wedding party and guests (currently only a handful of wedding venues in the Smokies offer onsite lodging, creating a unique niche in the market. County approvals would be required). Enjoy 360 degree breathtaking views--north to Douglas Lake and valley panoramas, South to the postcard-worthy Smoky Mountains. Unlike many large mountain parcels, this property's unique positioning along county maintained Shell Road means easier access and reduced infrastructure costs. The ridge-top setting naturally levels at the peak, providing ideal, easily build-able sites with panoramic outlooks from every angle. The seller has invested tremendous time, energy and resources to lay the groundwork for development. A pioneer road path has been previously cleared, and a preliminary drip system has been designed which allows for each build to be unlimited in size and bedroom count with variations on the flow rate.* Additional documents that will be provided upon request include a Stormwater Pollution and Protection Plan, Soil Test Map and Road Works Package.
