Peak Smokies Fun Starts At Dollywood And Ends With A Home In Pigeon Forge

Share News:

It’s charming. It’s magical. It’s perfectly nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Ever been to Dollywood? For those who haven’t, Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountains amusement park is the top destination for family vacations in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. But there’s more to Pigeon Forge than Dollywood’s Splash Country. The town is ideal for second homebuyers looking to vacation or retire. And this week, we are showcasing two of its best offerings. Each has a story to tell but with price points that are miles apart.

Now there’s only one thing left to do. Make like a Draper James t-shirt and ask yourself, “What would Dolly do?” 

Splurge: Farmhouse In The Foothills On 25-Acres

\

If you’re looking for acreage and views in Pigeon Forge, it’s going to cost you. But those picturesque views and peace and quiet are totally worth it – for the right buyer. The farmhouse on Crestview Drive was built in 1979 and has since undergone a full renovation. According to the listing, it also has a story to tell, “one of history and enchantment.” But you’ll have to chat with the agent to get to the bottom of that. What catches our eye are the unobstructed views of Mt. LeConte and the Great Smoky Mountains from the front porch swing! The property affords a lush natural landscape of East Tennessee, ideally situated on 25 pristine acres, with two ponds and various heights of elevation. And although we don’t have images of the interior, it is said to be “meticulously renovated and cared for.” With wide-plank hardwood floors and incredible views from every window, we are intrigued. There’s also an opportunity to subdivide the property into multiple parcels or simply create a family legacy of your own.
