Welcome to Lazy Bear Retreat--an exceptional Smoky Mountain cabin perched atop Shell Mountain, one of the area's best-kept secrets! This meticulously maintained and well-built 2016 cabin offers sweeping mountain and valley views extending to Bluff Mountain and Douglas Lake, with the potential for even more mountain views through selective tree trimming/removal. VALUE-ADD POTENTIAL abounds! The oversized double-car garage could potentially be transformed into an indoor pool, expansive game room, indoor pickleball court, or other custom amenity and also has a stairway leading to an approximately 30' x 10' floored space, providing additional future-use potential. Approximately 500 square feet of unfinished basement space provides even more opportunity for a home theatre or game room, and plumbing is already roughed in for a potential additional bathroom. The seller is also leaving flooring materials to complete the unfinished basement space, giving the next owner a head start on bringing their vision to life. Designed for both relaxation and rental appeal, the cabin features covered porches on the main and lower levels--perfect for morning coffee, spectacular sunsets, or enjoying the soothing sound of rain on the metal roof. Two ensuite bedrooms, each with a soaker tub, including one bedroom on the main level, offer comfort and privacy, while kitchen granite countertops, high-speed internet, and a wood-burning fireplace add to the cabin's appeal. Upstairs, you will find an open loft space, providing additional room for guests with a sleeper sofa. Downstairs, you'll find an extra living area, exercise equipment with a view, and games for the whole family. A paved, well-maintained county road provides easy access to the mountaintop, with Sevierville approximately 20 minutes away via major highways. Dollywood and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are approximately 30 minutes away. The fire pit area is a true outdoor retreat, offering spectacular sunset views any evening of the year, as well as mountain views in the background. The seller has an active STR permit, and is working to provide a passed STR inspection prior to closing for added peace of mind. Whether you're looking for a proven vacation rental, second home, or private mountain retreat, Lazy Bear Retreat offers the location, views, amenities, and exceptional value-add potential today's buyers are looking for.

Automated home estimates are a starting point, not a final answer. National websites do not know if your roof is five years old or twenty-five. They do not understand the value of a good piece of land in East Tennessee. At Real Estate Concepts, we combine instant data with actual local expertise to give you a valuation you can trust.
Step 1: Tell us your address. Fill in the form — name, phone, email, and your property address.
Step 2: A local expert personally checks it. The number you see right away is your first-look value from a computer. Then one of our local East Tennessee experts personally checks it against real sold homes near you — the comps an algorithm can't weigh, like condition, updates, and your street. That personal check is the CMA.
Step 3: We talk through the real number. We'll walk you through what your home would actually sell for and what we'd do to get it — no obligation, and if the timing's wrong, we'll say so.
Q: How is this different from a standard online estimate?
A: Speed and accuracy. You get immediate data from our system, backed up by a manual review from a local expert who knows the area roads and market trends.
Q: Is there a fee for this service?
A: No. We provide free valuations as a service to our East Tennessee community. There is no obligation to list with us.
Q: What areas do you cover?
A: Our agents live and work across East Tennessee, covering Morgan, Roane, Anderson, Scott, Claiborne, and Grainger counties and beyond.
Q: Do you have to visit my property in person?
A: Not for the initial valuation. We can run the numbers based on public records and recent local sales. In-person visits are available if you want a highly precise listing price.
