About 2414 Walnut Cove Way
A True-Log Smoky Mountain Estate on Nearly Two Acres | Expansive Outdoor Living & Panoramic Views
Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac on nearly two acres of park-like grounds, this exceptional true-log mountain retreat offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and long-range Smoky Mountain views. Designed for both refined personal enjoyment and strong short-term rental performance, the property presents an elevated take on East Tennessee mountain living.
The setting is equally compelling as the home itself. A **spacious, level yard--uncommon in the mountains--**provides room to gather, play, and fully enjoy the natural surroundings, all framed by sweeping vistas. Complementing the landscape, expansive wraparound decking and covered outdoor entertainment areas create multiple venues for dining, hosting, and unwinding. A built-in gas grill, propane fire feature, and private hot tub offer a seamless outdoor lifestyle, while park-style grills and a picnic area invite relaxed, open-air gatherings.
Inside, the residence blends authentic log construction with thoughtful design across multiple levels. The main level is anchored by an inviting great room featuring a dramatic stacked-stone gas fireplace and warm timber finishes. The adjoining kitchen offers solid-surface countertops, a peninsula with a newly installed cooktop (2024), and convenient access to a half bath and laundry. The primary suite on this level is generously scaled, with a spa-style bath including a jetted tub and separate shower.
Upstairs, two well-appointed bedrooms--one a king suite with private bath and the other a queen suite--capture elevated mountain views, complemented by a flexible sitting area ideal for games or quiet relaxation.
The daylight lower level expands the home's versatility with additional sleeping accommodations, including a king suite with direct hot tub access and a spacious bunk room. A large recreation room features a second fireplace, billiards, foosball, and lounge space, along with access to a covered patio that extends the indoor-outdoor experience.
A newly completed private theater room adds a final layer of entertainment, offering seating for six, updated finishes, and a 100-inch screen for a true cinematic experience.
While the septic system is permitted for four bedrooms, an additional room with a closet provides flexible use for owners or guests.
With its rare usable acreage, expansive outdoor living spaces, authentic craftsmanship, and strong rental appeal, this Smoky Mountain property represents a compelling opportunity for those seeking both a private mountain escape and a high-performing investment in one of East Tennessee's most desirable destinations.
