About this property
85.82 +/- acres minutes from I-40 and the Great Smoky Mountains - a rare opportunity to own a built-out glamping and agritourism property with the expensive, time-consuming site infrastructure already in place. Step into finished roads, utilities, water, and income-ready sites instead of spending 12 to 18 months and six figures developing raw land. INCOME POTENTIAL Revenue-producing components are in place today. Six RV sites with full hookups - power, water, and sewer - are ready for guests, and two have already generated rental income. The upper tiny house unit offers established lodging with a rental history. With glamping tents in place and additional sites ready to develop, the property delivers immediate income and clear room to grow. Water AND utilities A 30 GPM private well serves all sites, and the water supply was tested and certified by a state-certified testing authority for the property's campground permit. The property includes a full water treatment system, on-site septic serving the campsites, grid electric distributed throughout to individual sites and RV hookups, an internal road network, Spectrum fiber internet, and on-site laundry. Detailed soil maps are available to support planning for additional septic capacity as a buyer scales the property up. BUILDINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS An eight-bath bathhouse serves the glamping village. The event and amenity building, known as Base Camp, features a commercial-kitchen rough-in with an Ansul fire-suppression system, three-bay dish sink, hand-wash sink, and pantry, along with indoor reception space, two full baths, and a covered porch - designed for events, weddings, and gatherings. A two-unit tiny house adds further lodging, and a four-bay 20x40 pole barn handles equipment and storage. Two glamping tents are in place on the grounds. INCLUDED TENT INVENTORY - A SIGNIFICANT VALUE-ADD Four Yala tent structures convey with the sale, offering substantial additional value a buyer would otherwise purchase new. The centerpiece is a 430 +/- sf Dreamer 40 with mini kitchen, full bath, two bedrooms, and a covered porch, with a replacement cost new of approximately $100,000. Two Sparkle 8 tents and a Sparkle 12 round out the inventory, and the group site where they operated already has power run to the pad - letting a buyer expand capacity quickly. THE LAND Cleared and wooded acreage with a creek running through the property, a branch along the boundary, and a seasonal stream - three water features across the tract. An established hiking trail winds through the woods. Best of all, the land is UNZONED - Cocke County has no zoning ordinance - giving a buyer wide latitude to grow the glamping village or reimagine the infrastructure as a retreat center, equestrian operation, event or wedding venue, agritourism enterprise, or private family compound

Before you call the broker
8 things are not disclosed on this listing. These are the questions that would close the gap — specific to a park, not a generic list.
Net operating income — not disclosed
What is the trailing twelve-month NOI, and what does it include and exclude?
The single number a lender will size debt against. Ask what is excluded — management fees and reserves are the usual omissions.
What period the financials cover — not disclosed
Are these figures trailing twelve months, last calendar year, or projected?
A projected stabilised NOI and a current operating NOI can differ by a third, and both get called "NOI".
Gross income and operating expenses — not disclosed
Can you share a trailing twelve-month profit and loss, with the expense lines itemised?
NOI alone hides whether income is high or expenses are being under-reported. The split is what you underwrite.
Reason for sale — not disclosed
Why is the owner selling, and how long have they held it?
Never published on a listing, always worth knowing. Retirement and a looming capital bill are very different situations.
Site count and hookup mix — not disclosed
How many sites are there, and how many are full-hookup, partial or tent?
Full-hookup sites earn a multiple of what a tent site does. The count alone does not tell you the income.
Operating season and seasonal mix — not disclosed
Is this year-round or seasonal, and what is the split between seasonal, monthly and transient guests?
A seasonal park with a five-month window is a different business from a year-round one at the same annual revenue.
Utility infrastructure — not disclosed
Are water, sewer and electric municipal or private, and what condition is the infrastructure in?
A private septic or well at end of life is a capital item that can exceed a year of NOI, and it will not appear in the expenses.
Permits and non-conforming use — not disclosed
Is the current site count permitted, and is any of it legal non-conforming?
A park operating more sites than it is permitted for cannot be financed at the income it shows.

Currency of the asking price — disclosed
