Tucked into a private Gatlinburg community and surrounded by sweeping ridgelines, this newly built home offers a serene escape designed for elevated family getaways and unforgettable group stays. From the moment you step inside, the views take center stage. Floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring cathedral ceilings fill the great room with natural light, framing ever-changing mountain scenery and glowing sunsets. The open-concept living area invites connection and relaxation, whether you're gathering for conversation, enjoying a cozy movie night, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings from the comfort of the sofa.

The loft also features a sitting area and TV, creating a flexible space for lounging or play. Throughout the home, bedrooms and living spaces are thoughtfully positioned to capture stunning mountain views, so you're never far from the scenery that makes the Smokies so special. Downstairs, the entertainment continues in the finished basement, where you'll find plush seating, a pool table, a multicade arcade game, board games, and a large TV—ideal for game nights or laid-back afternoons after a day of exploring. Step outside to the covered porch and unwind in the hot tub under the stars, where crisp mountain air and tranquil surroundings set the tone for true relaxation.
