1960 E Mountain Way

Perched near the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, 1960 E Mountain Way is not just a cabin - it's a work of art. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence (with an additional half bath) was built in 2019 and encompasses 2,772 sq ft on nearly ½ acre. At first glance it presents as a traditional mountain home, but the moment you step inside you realize you've entered a living sculpture. The heart of the home is a full-sized cedar tree--a sculpted trunk that rises through two stories, with its branches forming the staircase and loft railing. This architectural marvel creates a true tree-house feel and sets the stage for the cabin's blend of rustic craftsmanship and whimsical design. Custom log-and-stone construction, including hand-carved stone floors, immediately signals quality. Throughout the main level you'll find high-end furnishings and curated taxidermy installations that evoke a private wildlife museum, enhancing the sense of being immersed in nature. In the primary suite, a dramatic stone grotto shower carved into the hillside feels like your own private cavern spa. The adjoining bath, with its stone surrounds, custom lighting and oversized fixtures, truly feels fit for a king. An open-concept kitchen with granite counters and a large island leads seamlessly into a cozy living area with a massive stone fireplace. Stone and hardwood flooring flow throughout, grounding the space in natural textures. Below the main level, the theater room is built almost entirely of stone and wood. Here, plush seating faces a big-screen TV, creating an intimate movie-palace experience. Elsewhere in the home, you'll find hidden niches that house the property's extensive taxidermy collection. From any window or deck, you're treated to mountain views; yet you're just a short drive from Pigeon Forge. This property is being marketed to the discerning buyer who refuses to settle for ordinary. It is ideal as an exclusive personal retreat or a high-grossing short-term rental; its singular character will command premium nightly rates. For those who dream of owning a one-of-a-kind Smoky Mountain sanctuary--complete with a cedar tree centerpiece, museum-quality décor, stone-carved spa bath and theater.
