Seeking Guidance on Building a New Cabin in Chalet Village

[Madhu Kongara]

Hi Everyone,

We are in the process of purchasing 1 acre of land for $300K in the area and are considering building a cabin. I would appreciate any advice on whether it's a good idea to invest in land on a slope and the potential challenges of building on such terrain.

If this seems like a worthwhile investment, can anyone recommend reputable construction companies that specialize in cabin builds on slopes? 

I’ve also been in touch with a design team, and they’re quoting a fee of 10% of the total construction cost. Does that sound reasonable based on your experience?

Additionally, I’m trying to identify the builder of the cabin located at 921 W Cedar Ln, Gatlinburg, TN 37738. Is there a way to find out who constructed that property?

I’d really value your input on this project and any recommendations you might have.

Thanks,
Maddy
