Shell Mountain: A Rare Opportunity to Own a Mountaintop Legacy in the Smokies
Imagine owning an entire ridgeline in the Smoky Mountains—where panoramic views stretch for miles, zoning supports expansive development, and the groundwork for your dream community is already in place. Welcome to Shell Mountain, a 95+ acre mountaintop parcel with unmatched 360-degree vistas and extraordinary investment potential.
Listed by Lisa Hoyt – Wallace Real Estate Farragut Office, this is more than just land—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shape the future of East Tennessee’s luxury market. With preliminary development efforts already underway and the region’s booming tourism industry continuing to grow, Shell Mountain stands ready to become a premier destination for generations to come.
The Highlights:
- 95.39 acres combining three parcels into one development-ready opportunity
- 360° views—Douglas Lake and the valley to the north, postcard-worthy Smoky Mountains to the south
- 13 premier build sites proposed along the ridge, each with unlimited bedroom count and size
- Additional usable acreage below for future expansion or alternative use
- County-maintained road access for reduced infrastructure and easier logistics
- Preliminary development documents available, including soil test maps, stormwater plan, and roadworks package
- Seller open to financing options and offering additional acreage nearby for those with larger visions
Whether you’re envisioning a luxury short-term rental community, a high-end resort and wellness retreat, or a mountaintop wedding venue with onsite lodging, Shell Mountain is uniquely suited to bring that dream to life. Unlike many parcels with extreme slopes or remote access, this property features natural level ridgelines, a cleared pioneer road, and access to a drip system design that allows for large-capacity development.
The region speaks for itself:
- 12+ million visitors annually to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (the most visited in the U.S.)
- Proximity to Dollywood, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville
- An underserved niche for venues with on-site accommodations
- A proven market for multi-million-dollar luxury cabins and high-yield short-term rentals
Shell Mountain offers the rare blend of scenic majesty, practical feasibility, and strategic positioning that savvy developers dream of. It feels worlds away, yet remains connected to the pulse of the Smokies’ thriving tourism economy.
Whether your vision is bold, boutique, or breathtakingly bespoke—this mountaintop canvas is ready for your masterpiece.
