1293 Laurel Lick Rd 4,800 SF Specialty Building Offered at $2,600,000 in Sevierville, TN 37862

Strategic STR Development Platform | Income in Place + Scalable Expansion
A rare opportunity to acquire a 23.74 acre income-producing short-term rental platform positioned within one of the most active and proven tourism corridors in the United States—serving Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The home boast 4 bedrooms with 2 additional sleeping areas, 3 full baths and 4,800 square feet.
This is not a raw land offering. It is a partially de-risked, execution-ready asset with in-place revenue, existing infrastructure, and a defined path to scale through phased STR expansion.
The property currently generates $100,000+ in annual income, validating both location performance and guest demand. Existing improvements—including a large-group oriented cabin, premium outdoor amenities, and experiential features—demonstrate a proven blueprint for future unit design, pricing power, and repeat booking behavior.
From a development standpoint, the site is already advanced:
Surveyed and defined boundaries
Existing access and infrastructure in place
Identified expansion zones supporting phased unit deployment
New survey and site plan proposal underway targeting highest and best use
This allows a buyer to step into immediate cash flow while executing a structured expansion strategy, rather than starting from raw land entitlement and infrastructure development.
The investment thesis centers on phased capital deployment:
Stabilize and optimize the existing income-producing asset
Introduce compact, high-yield cabin product designed to outperform large-format inventory on cost, absorption, and revenue per square foot
Expand on-site revenue through amenity-driven enhancements such as event/wedding use, pond-centered gathering areas, and experiential programming
Scale total unit count and revenue density while preserving operational continuity
The property’s location inside the Smoky Mountain tourism conversion corridor provides direct access to one of the deepest STR demand pools in the Southeast, driven by:
~12M+ annual national park visitors
~9M+ annual Pigeon Forge visitors
Billions in annual tourism spend
Continued capital investment from major attractions
Unlike sites positioned outside the corridor, this asset benefits from immediate booking velocity, premium ADR potential, and year-round occupancy patterns.
For builders and developers, the opportunity extends beyond cash flow:
Configurable for build-to-sell, portfolio hold, or hybrid exit strategies
Ability to increase total sellable inventory through phased expansion
Opportunity to maximize land value through density, placement, and product design rather than relying on a single asset
For investors, this represents a dual-phase return profile:
Income today
Scalable value creation through structured development
Opportunities that combine in-place revenue, expansion capacity, and positioning within a high-conversion STR corridor are increasingly limited.
This offering is best suited for:
STR developers
Builder-operators
Boutique resort groups
Capital partners seeking scalable, experience-driven real estate platforms
This is not simply a cabin or land acquisition—this is a scalable land monetization strategy built around proven demand.
