Live. Work. Play. Invest. Welcome to Turtle Hollow Estates at 248 Buckhorn Road, a one-of-a-kind Gatlinburg compound where Smoky Mountain beauty, artistic history, and incredible versatility come together. Located in the historic Buckhorn Arts & Crafts District on the peaceful side of Gatlinburg, this approximately 1.48-acre estate is just minutes from the Greenbrier entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and adjacent to the historic Buckhorn Inn, with access to approximately 25 acres of hiking trails. Once home to artist Ross Markley, with original works still featured throughout the grounds, the property offers views of Mt. LeConte and the peaceful flow of Buckhorn Creek. With approximately 10,640 sq ft under roof across five buildings, all with central heat and air, this is far more than a home. It's a private estate, multi-generational retreat, creative compound, or potential income-producing opportunity all in one remarkable Gatlinburg setting. The Nest, the 4,924 sq ft main residence, features 4BR/3.5BA and has been completely remodeled in a rustic-industrial design. Upgrades include 400-amp service, complete rewiring, PEX plumbing, tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, reclaimed barnwood accents, commercial-grade Cali Bamboo flooring, 10.5-ft ceilings, and a tankless water heater. The custom kitchen delivers all-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, double convection wall ovens, built-in stovetop, and a custom 10-person dining table that conveys. Enjoy true main-level living with the primary suite and laundry on the first floor. A separate main-level wing offers a bedroom, full bath, bonus room, and private exterior entrance ideal for guests or a home office. Upstairs provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and approximately 1,200 sq ft of additional living and entertainment space. The private theater features custom leather seating, billiards, electric fireplace, and Mt. LeConte views. Need even more flexibility? The Penthouse is a fully remodeled, standalone 1BR/1BA apartment offering approximately 1,500 sq ft with its own kitchen, laundry, living area, mountain views, and private 1-car garage perfect for extended family, guests, or potential rental income. And the possibilities don't stop there. The Man Cave offers approximately 2,556 sq ft with an oversized multi-car garage, 7,500-lb 4-post lift, DeWalt compressor with built-in hard air lines, large loft, and recreation space. A 782 sq ft Workshop/Studio provides office and workspace, while the 878 sq ft Greenhouse creates an inspiring art, hobby, or creative space. There's even a covered outdoor work area with 110V and 220V electric. Major improvements include updated roofs (2020-2024), updated HVAC systems (2020-2025), a 48kW whole-property Generac generator, smart-home security cameras, app-controlled locks and thermostats, and whole-property internet.
