RARELY does a mountain homesite offer this much without asking you to compromise—panoramic long-range views, usable acreage, privacy, and immediate access to Great Camp. Set at 4,200 feet in elevation and a southern orientation, this homesite captures expansive layered mountain views with Grandfather Mountain positioned to the left and dramatic Tennessee sunsets to the west. The perspective is especially notable—this lot enjoys the same general mountain-view orientation as Epic Chophouse, creating a beautiful backdrop for a custom mountain residence. Approximately 3.32 acres provides room to create a substantial homesite while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. The building area is favorable for mountain construction and avoids much of the extreme topography often associated with premium view property. G-61 is located immediately beside the Great Camp amenity area, including the amphitheater, Epic Chophouse, sports and recreation amenities, and the community’s touchless Dollar General market. Yet its position along American Eagle Trail keeps the homesite removed from the community’s primary roads, creating a setting that feels secluded without being isolated. Great Camp’s 3,200-square-foot minimum building requirement supports the scale and architectural character of the surrounding homes, making this an ideal setting for a thoughtfully designed luxury mountain residence. Offered for the first time since its original developer sale, G-61 is an increasingly rare opportunity to create a legacy property in one of Eagles Nest’s most desirable locations. View without extreme topography. Privacy without isolation. Acreage without sacrificing usability. Amenity access without main-road exposure.
