PRIVATE, EXCLUSIVE GATLINBURG MOUNTAIN ESTATE - An unparalleled opportunity to own a rare and historic mountain retreat - this stunning true log cabin estate sits on nearly 9 acres across three combined lots in the coveted Glades area of Gatlinburg. Boasting unparalleled privacy, serenity, and breathtaking natural beauty, this exceptional property is a true sanctuary. With private gated entry, a picturesque tree-lined driveway, and meticulously manicured grounds that include a beautiful pond and daily visits from local wildlife, this estate offers an unmatched level of tranquility. This home was featured in it's original condition in the book ''American Log Homes'' by Arthur Thiede & Cindy Teipner, published in 1986. Step through the impressive WWII era door straight from England, into the gorgeous stone entryway and enter a home that seamlessly combines rustic charm with luxurious modern living. The original log cabin features authentic wormy chestnut walls and beautiful white pine floors. Natural light pours in through multiple skylights, as well as several gorgeous stained glass windows that add character and timeless elegance. Pella brand windows throughout frame spectacular views of the lush landscape and wildlife, making every room feel connected to nature. The heart of the home is a professional grade kitchen built for a chef, featuring hand crafted cabinetry, a six burner gas stove, and a sub-zero fridge, installed just four years ago. From the living room, enjoy the mesmerizing sights and sounds of the pond and surrounding wildlife, a perfect backdrop for relaxation and entertaining. Cozy up next to the wood burning buck stove or step out onto the expansive back porch to witness the flowing tranquility of Bird's Creek. For ultimate comfort, the estate offers two master suites. The main-level suite has its own private garage entrance, making it perfect for a mother-in-law suite or guests seeking extra privacy. Upstairs, the master retreat is an elevated sanctuary complete with a wood-burning fireplace, ample storage, and an adjoining office space. A separate ''napping room,'' perfect for a nursery, closet, or additional sleeping space, adds versatility to the layout. The third bedroom, down on the main floor, features a custom built play/reading loft, ideal for cozy evenings spent with a good book. Gorgeous traditional counterweight exterior doors open to the garage and back porch, creating a seamless flow from the interior to the outdoors. Step out onto the back deck through one of 3 sliding glass doors and have a seat in the sun or under the retractable sunshade and enjoy the attached gas grill, peace and the serenity of the creek running through the property. For added versatility, the back of the property offers a separate detached garage with a loft space above. The loft, currently set up as an artist's studio, can easily be transformed into a multitude of spaces: a guest space, home office, or private retreat. The detached building is fully heated and cooled with mini-split systems, ensuring year-round comfort. Access is a breeze, whether you prefer to walk across the pedestrian bridge that spans over the creek or drive directly from the main driveway, this space offers ultimate convenience and privacy. This home is equipped with numerous recent upgrades, including a geo-thermal heating system (installed 5 years ago), a new well pump (installed just 1 year ago), and a new sub-zero refrigerator. With previous plans for up to 7 additional cabins on the back lot, you have the potential to expand and preserve incredible mountain views. Rarely does such an extraordinary property come to market, offering unmatched privacy, history, and breathtaking views all in one place.
