Have you heard the catchy tune ''Rocky Top''? In Tennessee, we have songwriters Boudleaux & Felice Bryant to thank for the song that throngs of proud University of Tennessee Big Orange fans sing at every sporting event. Even if you're not a sports fan or a Tennessean, you've likely heard the song and many others written by this Hall of Fame country music & pop songwriting duo. Now, in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, their historic Gatlinburg home is ready for its next verse. The Bryants wrote over 6000 songs, and many of them within the walls of their custom home bordered by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Originally a 1940s cottage built as part of the Holston Assembly Grounds, the Bryants made it their own in the mid-1980s by hiring local craftsmen, including woodworker Otto Preske, to expand & convert the cottage into a welcoming and personalized space. The main level features a river rock fireplace and hand carved beams, each with a different native leaf pattern. The dining wing has a mountain stone floor and a wall of windows for wonderful natural light, and the large living area features wood floors and walls that are warmed with extensive paneling and woodwork. Many famous musicians visited and worked with the Bryants in this very room! The upper level is a spacious retreat with its own living space, fireplace, wood floors, and en-suite bath, while the lower level invites with its own fireplace, full bath, laundry, and gathering spaces that would work well for an office or multi-generational living. The gated property also has a detached garage with a guest living space above that includes a full kitchen and bath. This home harkens back to when local arts & crafts were the main draw to Gatlinburg, but now you can walk downtown to enjoy great shopping, entertainment & dining, take an art class at Arrowmont, and visit Anakeesta, all right from your front door, or you can simply enjoy the ease of being so close to everything yet feeling so far away. Adjacent to the property is Mynatt Park, with recently upgraded picnic areas, baseball field, and tennis & pickleball courts. This property is truly one of a kind, and the area was such a source of songwriting inspiration for the Bryants. Their beloved home is now ready for new owners to sing ''home sweet home to me''!
