Résidence Unifamiliale à Gatlinburg

In a market full of overnight rentals, this is the rare one that isn’t.
Norton Creek is one of very few gated communities in Sevier County where overnight rentals are not permitted. That means neighbors instead of weekend traffic, quiet instead of turnover, and a home whose value rests on residential demand rather than rental income. Residents enjoy a true mountain water pool, large clubhouse, outdoor pavilion, tennis courts, walking trails, and one of the finest trout streams in the Southeast -- used by the people who live here, not by a rotating stream of guests.

And the expensive work is already done. New 50-year metal roof with new roof decking. New 17-SEER 4-ton HVAC plus a dedicated mini-split. New electrical panel with whole-house surge protection. 22kw whole-home generator on a 500-gallon propane tank -- gas already on site for future gas fireplaces or appliances. Whole-house water softener with two-stage commercial purification. Tankless water heater. Septic pumped on a regular two-year schedule and in excellent condition. Seller’s 12-month average electric bill has run under $190/month, including peak summer and winter. A complete binder of receipts, warranties, and improvement records is available at the home.

Fiber internet service makes this a genuine year-round home rather than a weekend-only property -- with a main-level flex room and a dedicated mini-split serving the office area. And despite the privacy, you’re about 8 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, 12 minutes to the National Park entrance, 12 minutes to Kroger, 17 minutes to Publix, and roughly an hour to Knoxville. Water comes from a shared private well up the mountain, included in the modest annual HOA dues.

Inside: soaring wood ceilings and a dramatic 16-foot window wall in the living room that frames the forest floor to ceiling. The open main level is built around a wood-burning stone fireplace with custom Amish screen and glass.
