Some homesites require years of planning before construction can begin. This one gives you a remarkable head start. Set on 4.4 private acres within the gated community of The Lodges at Eagles Nest, extensive engineering, excavation, infrastructure improvements, and site preparation have already been completed, creating a rare opportunity to begin building your custom mountain estate far sooner than would otherwise be possible. Perched at approximately 4,500 feet in elevation, this exceptional estate homesite enjoys year-round long-range northern views overlooking Tennessee's Appalachian Mountains while offering an extraordinary level of privacy rarely found within one of the High Country's premier luxury communities.

The primary building site has already been excavated, allowing the next owner the flexibility to design and construct a custom residence while benefiting from substantial infrastructure already in place. The property's layout also offers the potential for a private gated entrance, creating an even greater sense of arrival and privacy within the already gated community. An existing four-bedroom septic permit is in place, while the property's size and layout may offer the potential for a larger septic system, subject to county approval and permitting. Electrical service and fiber internet are readily accessible nearby. A private water well and septic system will be required. Residents of The Lodges at Eagles Nest enjoy access to an exceptional collection of private amenities, including the exclusive Epic Chophouse restaurant, Eagles Nest Winery, North Pavilion, Sportsman's Lodge, owners' fitness center, sports courts, and an extensive network of hiking, mountain biking, and ATV trails.
