288 Panther Creek Rd This is a one of a kind property with all of the flexibility in the Smoky Mountains you've been looking for. 18 minutes to Dollywood, 36 min to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg & the Smokies, yet only 30 minutes to Knoxville. Sitting on 1.55 acres surrounded by nature, this is the private oasis you've been looking for. Enjoy a tucked-away setting with paved road and driveway access, no steep mountain roads, strong cell service and room for RV parking. A 2362 sqft 3 bed/ 3 bath renovated log home can be your primary residence or rental potential. Every room has been thoughtfully updated, with custom, boutique-style details throughout. Features include custom epoxy countertops, designer accent walls, fresh paint, contemporary deck railings, and updated lighting, faucets, sinks, shower fixtures, cabinet hardware, and door hardware throughout. There is also a lower suite with its own exterior entrance, private deck, attached garage, kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, closet, abundant natural light, central HVAC, and supplemental propane heat. There is also the flexible garage spaces, deck, porch, and outdoor living space that totals over 2, 100 sqft of entertainment options. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, vacation home, live-and-rent opportunity, private guest suite, multigenerational setup, or a property with full rental potential, this home offers options that few properties can match. The layout is the true standout. For 5.5 years, the current owner lived on the main level while renting the separate walkout lower suite as an overnight rental. The split driveway gives each level its own approach, creating privacy and flexibility rarely found in a single property. Adding even more flexibility, the property features two attached garages--one on each level--totaling more than 1, 166 sq ft. Keep the upper garage for parking, workshop space, hobbies, or storage while using the lower garage as traditional garage space or transforming it into a game room, theater, gym, recreation room, or additional guest-entertainment area. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy a three-sided wraparound deck with covered and open-air sections, composite back decking, a hot tub, seasonal stream, professional landscaping, and a private fire pit retreat tucked among the trees with hanging chairs and firewood. The setting feels secluded and peaceful while remaining easily accessible year-round with no steep mountain-road climb. HVAC serviced and septic pumped May 2026.
