Property Description

Gorgeous waterfront land with minimal restrictions located moments from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. This is one of those places where you drive up and you say, ''OK, I'm done looking. This is it.'' 100' of pond frontage offers plenty of space to build a dock on the placid 3.5 acre pond. Docks can be up to 200 sqft. Enjoy the tranquil ripples of the spring-fed brook that runs through the lot. Top of the World HOA owns the pond as well as several other lakes in the community. The HOA stocks the pond and other lakes in the community. Voluntary HOA dues are only $150 for the whole year! Crazy, right?! Dues offer access to Gold Pond and the other lakes, stocked fishing, a community picnic pavilion, pickleball/basketball court, boat ramp and dock on Lake in the Sky, swimming beach on Lake in the Sky, community kitchen where local gatherings are held regularly, 4th of July fireworks & picnic, support for the FireWise program and rescue team, and other community events. Gold Pond is rich with bluegill and other sunfish along with the occasional bass or catfish. The perfect spot to cast a line in and relax. Kayak, canoe, or paddle boat in the pond. The land comprises lots 11 and 12 of Gold Pond subdivision and totals approx 0.84 acres. Underground power is at the edge of the property. Well and septic would be required. Soil mapping is complete and on file in the listing documents. This would be a perfect spot for a permanent home, Airbnb, or vacation home. Short term rentals are permitted and the owner would be happy to provide information about the Airbnb they owned previously (immediately adjacent to this land). Another successful Airbnb is also located on the opposite side of the pond. You will often see kids & parents fishing or canoeing on the pond during their stay at the cabin across the pond. Enjoy hiking? Catch the national park Gold Mine Trail off Jaroulman Rd, or drive down the mountain to the Abrams Creek Campground entrance to the national park to enjoy float tubing, primitive camping, and several hiking trails. Bike or sports car enthusiast? Tail of the Dragon, baby! Need we say more? Hop on the beautiful Foothills Pkwy and head south to Hwy 129 where you're just moments from the entrance to the Dragon. Building on the property was previously used as an aviary. It would be well suited as a storage barn or other outbuilding.
