3749 Thayer Lane

Located at the base of Cove Mountain in Wears Valley with incredible valley views and an incredibly rare inground saltwater pool, this unique Smoky Mountain property offers endless possibilities for investors, multigenerational living, duplex-style conversion, or a primary residence with income-producing potential. This 2-bedroom cabin with 3 additional bonus/flex rooms also has county guidance stating it would be grandfathered in to sleep more than 12 guests when applying for an STR permit, creating major rental upside. The main level features beautiful exposed beams in the open-concept great room, a family room with fireplace, primary kitchen, 2 bedrooms, washer/dryer setup, and a spacious deck overlooking the pool and mountain views. Downstairs offers a second living area complete with its own kitchen, fireplace, separate washer/dryer hookup, walkout patio access, and 3 bonus rooms, making separate living quarters or duplex conversion far easier than most properties. Outside is where this property truly shines. The oversized entertaining area and inground saltwater pool create the kind of guest experience today's travelers are looking for, with room to add amenities like mini putt-putt, a sauna, basketball setup, outdoor games, firepit areas, and more. There is also plenty of room inside and out for additional game room and entertainment spaces. An added bonus is the existing 220 amp plug already installed and ready for a future hot tub setup. Sellers have successfully operated their nearby farm and STR business for over a decade and may be open to discussing management opportunities and integration with their nearby farm experiences featuring animals, lodging, and weddings. This is something extremely difficult to replicate in today's Smoky Mountain market. Recent updates include new HVAC in 2024, new flooring and paint in 2025, and multiple new kitchen appliances in 2025.
