Pigeon Forge Land Buyer FAQs

What should I do first if I’m thinking about buying land in Pigeon Forge?

Figure out what you want to use it for—building a house, putting up a rental cabin, or just holding it for now. That’ll steer the conversation. Once we know your end goal, I can help you narrow down the right areas and flag any zoning stuff to watch for.

Can I build anything I want, or are there restrictions?

Depends on the lot. If it’s in the city, it’ll follow local zoning like R-1 or R-2, and we’ll need to double-check what’s allowed. Out in the county, it’s often more flexible, but you may need to handle your own septic or well. I’ll pull the info for each property you’re looking at so there are no surprises.

How does the process of getting utilities to a new property work?

Some parcels already have public water, sewer, and electric service at the street. Others are raw land, requiring a well, septic permit, or both. I’ll show you which properties are utility-ready and what steps are required if they’re not.

What makes a particular lot good for a short-term rental cabin?

Look for easy road access, flat or gentle slopes, privacy from neighbors, and proximity to the Parkway or Dollywood. Space for decks, hot tubs, and guest parking can also improve rental income.

Can I get financing to purchase raw land?

Yes, but it’s different from a home loan. Most lenders require 20–50% down and shorter terms. Local banks and credit unions often offer better flexibility and understand the area’s market better than national lenders.
