Imagine ending your day beside the fireplace as the mountains fade beyond the trees and the only sounds around you are nature and wildlife. Tucked within the gated residential community of Norton Creek, this beautifully remodeled mountain retreat was designed for those craving peace, privacy, and the kind of Smoky Mountain lifestyle that instantly makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper. With soaring wood ceilings, dramatic walls of windows, and nature surrounding you in every direction, this feels less like a house and more like the mountain escape you never want to leave. Completely remodeled, this custom home blends mountain character with updated finishes and offers a layout ideal for full time living or a peaceful second home getaway. The main level features an open living area centered around a beautiful stone fireplace, a stunning kitchen with granite countertops, farmhouse sink, and massive stone island with prep sink, plus an additional sitting area perfect for reading, relaxing, or simply taking in your surroundings. Three bedrooms, a loft sleeping area, and an updated bath are located on the main level, with windows framing the natural setting from nearly every room. Downstairs, the finished lower level offers an entirely separate living space with a second stone fireplace, spacious family room, guest bedroom, fitness or flex room, wine nook, laundry area, and oversized pantry and storage room rarely found in mountain homes. Step outside to expansive deck space surrounded by nature, where cool mountain evenings, changing leaves, and seasonal views toward Mt. LeConte create the perfect backdrop. Residents of Norton Creek enjoy a gated mountain community with luxury homes, hiking and walking trails, natural creekside areas, peaceful wooded surroundings, and a quiet residential atmosphere without the constant turnover of overnight rentals. Featuring the best amenities- a true mountain water community pool, (super cool feature of this community), huge clubhouse, outdoor pavilion, tennis courts, and one of the best trout streams in the southeast. Located just minutes from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this is the peaceful side of the Smokies that's becoming harder and harder to find. *No overnight rentals permitted.
