Gatlinburg build: View or no view
I am currently in contract on a piece of land in Gatlinburg (Cobbly Knob area) with a monster view. Its a 10/10. The downside is the drive up there is a bit iffy. One lane road, kind of steep, sharp drop off, poorly paved. Being from Ohio and not having mountains around me I will only vacation at places with views so the drive up the mountain is worth it to me. That being said, this is less for personal use and more for an investment. My question is this: From an ROI perspective is it better to have a place with a view if the road is a little sketchy. Or better to build with no view and a more comfortable drive to the house? Thoughts?
