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.
