Welcome to Turtle Hollow Estates at 248 Buckhorn Road, a one-of-a-kind Gatlinburg compound where Smoky Mountain beauty, artistic history, and incredible versatility come together. Located in the historic Buckhorn Arts & Crafts District on the peaceful side of Gatlinburg, this approximately 1.48-acre estate is just minutes from the Greenbrier entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and adjacent to the historic Buckhorn Inn, with access to approximately 25 acres of hiking trails. Once home to artist Ross Markley, with original works still featured throughout the grounds, the property offers views of Mt. LeConte and the peaceful flow of Buckhorn Creek. With approximately 10,640 sq ft under roof across five buildings, all with central heat and air, this is far more than a home.

The Man Cave offers approximately 2,556 sq ft with an oversized multi-car garage, 7,500-lb 4-post lift, DeWalt compressor with built-in hard air lines, large loft, and recreation space. A 782 sq ft Workshop/Studio provides office and workspace, while the 878 sq ft Greenhouse creates an inspiring art, hobby, or creative space.
