Rare opportunity to own a unique Swiss chalet located atop 2 wooded lots in Chalet Village in Gatlinburg with winter views of the Ober-Gatlinburg Gondola. This custom built-home was designed and constructed for a Swiss skier and instructor who helped develop the Ober-Gatlinburg Ski Program. Upon his return to Switzerland he sold this property to the current owners. This chalet has a nearly 20 ft. cathedral ceiling in the living and great-room area. A brick masonry and cedar fireplace- capable for wood burning or its current propane conversion-spans the ceiling height. Beautiful custom architectural features throughout the chalet. Sun-filled two-story foyer with entrance and dual sky-lights highlight an open stair case to the second floor. Two bedrooms open onto this spacious second floor, with expansive private decks off each bedroom. These decks reveal beautiful unobstructed views of the deep Smoky Mountain ranges. In the winter, the Gatlinburg lighted arial cable car climbing to Ober-Gatlinburg Ski Resort can be seen traversing the beautiful mountains, even at night. This exceptional open floor plan features 2 bedrooms, with hard wood floors. An upper level den with a private 2 person jetted spa with sky light, overlooking the Great Room and fireplace below. There's a full bath upstairs conveniently located to both bedrooms. Descending the stair case, the foyer opens into a glass alcove and opens into the Great Room with cathedral ceilings. Natural light abounds in every room. Floor to ceiling windows invite the pristine mountain and hard wood forests views. An open floor plan kitchen and great-room area share these exceptional views. A spacious deck spans the full length of the home, providing direct walk out views for alfresco dining while observing Appalachian wildlife in their natural habitat. A large private master bedroom has double closets, a dressing area and direct access to the master bath. The master also features direct access to the decks.This property offers rare level parking and a covered hot tub area with special lighting and decor.This efficient design incorporates a windowed 1,200 square foot walk in basement which is above ground on three sides. There is ample ceiling height suitable for expansion with a third bath, 4th bedroom, and a large gathering room. This level has an existing windowed den not included in the heated and cooled square foot calculation of the chalet. This structural design allows for the addition of inside stairway as direct access to the lower level.This modification would allow 3210 sq. ft for heated and cooled space (note that such improvements must be approved by the City of Gatlinburg). This unique chalet sits on two lots with deep unobstructed views, a wet-weather Creek in back and great opportunities to directly observe an array of Smoky Mountain wildlife, in their natural habitat. This beautiful chalet resides within the Chalet Village resort. This highly sought after community offers multiple private pools, club houses and tennis courts for the exclusive use of owners and their guests.No wonder this much loved second home and vacation rental property maintained a prestigious 4.8 STAR rating on VRBO with loyal guests following. The current owners listed this property as a 2 bedroom vacation rental, using the upstairs 3rd bedroom as a recreation room. GROSS EARNINGS as a 2 bedroom were $67,500 for a 12 month period from Sept 2020 to Sept 2021. When configured as a 3/2 as currently designed or expansion to a 4/3 with 3 living levels there is significant increase in the earning potential. This chalet is unique in its proximity to Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, sitting less then 10 minutes from Traffic light #10 in Gatlinburg city. Call to see this rare Chalet Village gem, ideal for a second home or rental investment.
