The Estates at Norton Creek was originally part of a private estate that
has only recently become available. It is located on the largest and most
scenic piece of property adjacent to a national park in the eastern United
States and resides in the largely undeveloped area between the family vacation
destinations of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Its prime positioning offers the discriminating home-owner the opportunity
to enjoy the best of both worlds: a truly secluded, private environment that
feels like living in a national park AND a 15-minute drive to countless shopping,
dining and entertainment choices.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, established in the 1930’s, is
one of the most visited national
parks in the country. The Park protects one of the most diverse ecosystems
on the planet, supporting
more than 4,000
species of plants,
130 trees, 65 mammals, 230 birds and more species of salamanders than are found
anywhere else on earth.
The cities of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have led Sevier County to become
one the top 10 most visited counties in the United States, More than 12 million
visitors annually come to enjoy shopping, attractions, dining, museums, entertainment,
fishing, hiking, boating, golf and more. This area represents some of the
finest real estate in Tennessee.
