Property Description
85.82 +/- acres minutes from I-40 and the Great Smoky Mountains - a rare opportunity to own a built-out glamping and agritourism property with the expensive, time-consuming site infrastructure already in place. Step into finished roads, utilities, water, and income-ready sites instead of spending 12 to 18 months and six figures developing raw land.
INCOME POTENTIAL
Revenue-producing components are in place today. Six RV sites with full hookups - power, water, and sewer - are ready for guests, and two have already generated rental income. The upper tiny house unit offers established lodging with a rental history. With glamping tents in place and additional sites ready to develop, the property delivers immediate income and clear room to grow.
WATER AND UTILITIES
A 30 GPM private well serves all sites, and the water supply was tested and certified by a state-certified testing authority for the property's campground permit. The property includes a full water treatment system, on-site septic serving the campsites, grid electric distributed throughout to individual sites and RV hookups, an internal road network, Spectrum fiber internet, and on-site laundry. Detailed soil maps are available to support planning for additional septic capacity as a buyer scales the property up.
BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS
An eight-bath bathhouse serves the glamping village. The event and amenity building, known as Base Camp, features a commercial-kitchen rough-in with an Ansul fire-suppression system, three-bay dish sink, hand-wash sink, and pantry, along with indoor reception space, two full baths, and a covered porch - designed for events, weddings, and gatherings. A two-unit tiny house adds further lodging, and a four-bay 20x40 pole barn handles equipment and storage. Two glamping tents are in place on the grounds.
INCLUDED TENT INVENTORY - A SIGNIFICANT VALUE-ADD
Four Yala tent structures convey with the sale, offering substantial additional value a buyer would otherwise purchase new. The centerpiece is a 430 +/- sf Dreamer 40 with mini kitchen, full bath, two bedrooms, and a covered porch, with a replacement cost new of approximately $100,000. Two Sparkle 8 tents and a Sparkle 12 round out the inventory, and the group site where they operated already has power run to the pad - letting a buyer expand capacity quickly.
THE LAND
Cleared and wooded acreage with a creek running through the property, a branch along the boundary, and a seasonal stream - three water features across the tract. An established hiking trail winds through the woods. Best of all, the land is UNZONED - Cocke County has no zoning ordinance - giving a buyer wide latitude to grow the glamping village or reimagine the infrastructure as a retreat center, equestrian operation, event or wedding venue, agritourism enterprise, or private family compound.
