About This Home
As of February 2026Welcome to a rare investment opportunity in the Smoky Mountains! This property is back on the market at no fault to the owners and offers a unique combination of a fully renovated farmhouse with a thriving RV campground, creating unmatched flexibility, income potential, and endless possibilities. The main farmhouse has been thoughtfully updated, blending its historic charm with modern comforts. Just minutes from downtown Franklin, it’s perfectly positioned for use as a primary residence, long-term rental, or highly desirable short-term rental. The spacious garage provides great storage, with the option to purchase equipment—including a tractor with attachments, golf carts, and a zero-turn mower—to maintain the property. The Gem City RV Resort is a well-established, highly rated destination boasting a 4.7-star review average and impressive net income. The park currently features 20 rentable sites: 17 with full hookups (water, electric, and septic) and 3 with water and electric plus access to a septic dump spout. Guests benefit from a central bath house with showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Zoned C-2, the property supports both residential and commercial uses, with significant opportunity to expand—whether by adding RV sites, building entertainment areas, or new amenities. Two additional outbuildings add versatility and could be converted into dwellings, office space, a game room, or a campground store. For buyers seeking options, the seller is open to selling the farmhouse and RV park separately. With expansive acreage and easy highway access, the property is ideally suited for growth. It’s also the second closest RV park to downtown Franklin, giving it a competitive advantage that keeps visitors returning year after year. About Franklin, NC
