🏡 The Asset

📍 2315 Headrick Lead
Sevierville, TN

• 6 Bedrooms

• 6 Baths

• 4,693 sqft

• ~26 private acres

• Located inside gated Shagbark community

• $1.89M asking

And the amenities list is almost impossible to believe.

🌲 What’s Included on the Property

This estate features:

✔ Multiple spring fed ponds
✔ Tennis + pickleball court
✔ Frisbee golf course
✔ Paddle boat
✔ Private waterfall
✔ Extensive brick patios + walking paths
✔ 5-car detached garage
✔ Massive manicured grounds

This feels less like a vacation rental…

👉 And more like a private Smoky Mountain resort compound.

🎯 The STR Permit Is a Massive Differentiator

The property currently holds:

👉 An active STR permit allowing up to 36 guests.

That creates:
✔ Large-group booking potential
✔ Corporate retreat opportunities
✔ Family reunion demand
✔ Wedding/event-style possibilities

And there are already:

👉 $61,982 in confirmed 2026 bookings on the calendar.

That is huge.

🏔️ Prime Smoky Mountain Location

Guests are just minutes from:

✔ Pigeon Forge
✔ Dollywood
✔ Downtown Sevierville
✔ Great Smoky Mountains National Park

That combination creates:
👉 Extremely durable tourism demand year-round.

Few markets in the country consistently generate the kind of vacation traffic the Smokies do.

🏡 The Manor

The primary residence (“The Manor”) includes:

✔ 5 bedrooms + additional basement sleeping setup
✔ 4 baths
✔ Home cinema area
✔ Gaming area
✔ Open entertaining spaces
✔ Two sets of washers/dryers

The layout was clearly built for:
👉 Large-group hosting.

🔨 Massive Renovation Work Already Completed

Recent updates include:

✔ New roof
✔ New kitchen
✔ New windows
✔ New hot tub
✔ New well pump
✔ New landscape lighting
✔ New frisbee golf course

And over the last four years:

✔ New flooring throughout most of the home
✔ Three renovated bathrooms
✔ Deck replacement

This dramatically lowers:
👉 Near-term CapEx risk.

🌊 The Waterfall Site Is the Hidden Story Here

This property was formerly home to:

👉 “The Castle”

A legendary ~15,000 sqft architectural home built over a waterfall.

While The Castle was lost in the 2022 Hatcher Mountain wildfire…

👉 The waterfall site remains.

And this creates:

🚀 A truly rare future development opportunity.

Potential future visions buyers have explored include:

✔ Signature luxury rebuild
✔ Ultra-premium rental estate
✔ Rooftop lazy river + pool
✔ Golf simulator + bowling space
✔ Additional STR cabins across the acreage

This is one of the few Smoky Mountain properties where:
👉 The upside story is potentially bigger than the current asset itself.

~26 private acres this close to Pigeon Forge is exceptionally rare.

This property already has it.

3. 🏔️ Smoky Mountain Tourism Demand

👉 One of the strongest STR markets in America.

4. 🚀 Multiple Future Exit Paths
