For Sale By Owner

All 4 lots are in the Scenic View Subdivision in Wears Valley: 3 are contiguous and approximately .5 acre each. The separate lot is approx. .66 acre. Each lot has been "perked" and approved by Sevier County Environmental and Planning for 3 bedrooms. These lots are wooded and gently sloping, suitable for any building style. The back property line of all 4 lots abuts Smoky Mountain National Park land, currently leased as pasture, and there will never be any homes built there, insuring privacy and a generous buffer. Adding even more quiet and privacy are the access road--Mattox Cemetery Rd. is a dead-end--and the setting--upscale residential/retirement homes with spacious lots. Mattox Cem. Rd. is paved (county-maintained) and provides year-round access to Wears Valley Rd. (Many homes on paved roads at higher elevations do not have year-round access.) The views are stunning: Cove Mtn. in the foreground, Rount Top Mtn. in the rear, and pastures and woodlands rolling up and down the valley. City water will be available in the near future. (However, well water in the valley tastes better than city water--or so I believe--and you will have a choice.) Comcast Hi-Speed cable Internet and TV are available, and DirecTV reception quality is outstanding. Wears Valley Volunteer Fire Dept. is 1/4 mile away, helping to assure low insurance rates, and electricity costs are very low because they are subsidized by the TVA. Property taxes are very low and there are no state income taxes. The climate consists of 4 distinct seasons, each one mild. The recreational opportunities in Smoky Mtn. Nat. Park and the entertainment activities in nearby Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are too numerous to describe. Knoxville International Airport is a 30-minute drive away. PRICE:  .5 acre lot for $65,000; .5 acre lot for $65,000; .5 acre lot for $65,000; .66 acre lot for $75,000 OR all 4 lots for $250,000. Will consider SWAP for timberland (with mineral rights) of equivalent value, perferably in north Alabama. NB: no real estate agents, please. I thank you for your interest and wish you good luck in finding what you are looking for.
