Here's what we'll cover:
The main living space centers on a stone fireplace with gas logs, so chilly mountain evenings are covered. Floors are hardwood and tile, ceiling fans keep air moving, and there's central heat and air. The listing also notes extra storage, which matters more than you'd think in a place this size.
The kitchen has been renovated and comes with new appliances. It opens toward the dining area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.

The primary suite is the showpiece inside. It has a stone soaking tub, a newly built walk-in shower and a trey ceiling. After a day on the trails in the national park, that tub is where you'll want to be.

Guests will remember the half bath. It has a sink set in a whiskey barrel and a hand-painted mural on the wall, a fun nod to the mountains around it.

Outdoor space is where this villa really shines. There are several decks, and the listing describes views of the Smoky Mountains and Pigeon Forge from them. One is a screened porch with a custom hot tub, so you can soak through a cool fall night without the bugs. The setting reads wooded and country, on a quiet cul-de-sac.

Hidden Mountain East is part of the Hidden Mountain Resort area off Walden's Creek Road. The MLS lists a clubhouse and recreation facilities as association amenities, plus an in-ground pool and sidewalks. Ask for the HOA documents to confirm exactly which amenities this unit can use and how they're shared.
You're tucked into the hills here, yet the Parkway in Pigeon Forge is only a few miles away. Groceries, dining and the shows are close, and downtown Sevierville is about a 10 to 15 minute drive. If you'd rather look at something brand new in the area, check out new construction in Sevierville. Weighing the whole region first? Our Greater Knoxville relocation guide covers the bigger picture, and if Sevierville is the front runner, our moving to Sevierville guide walks through neighborhoods, costs and day-to-day life.
The HOA runs $334 a month and is mandatory, and the listing says the community has restrictions. The remarks mention this villa could work as a primary home, a second home or a short-term rental. Before you count on rental use, read the HOA rules and check Sevierville's requirements, because those decide what's allowed. We never promise rental income on any home.
Because the home sits inside Sevierville city limits, it pays both city and county property taxes. The listing shows about $218 in city tax and about $758 in county tax, around $976 a year in total. Plug the price, taxes and HOA into our mortgage calculator to see a real monthly number. Still deciding whether to buy at all?

A few more practical notes: the home is on public water and sewer, has internet available and has a Generac generator for outages. It's sold partially furnished, so ask for a list of what stays.
