4407 Calderwood Hwy

Dragon City Resort sits at 4407 Calderwood Highway (US-129) in Maryville, TN, directly along the Tennessee side of the famous “Tail of the Dragon.” The property is just 7 miles from the official start of “The Dragon,” an 11-mile, 318-curve stretch of US-129 that draws motorcycle and sports car enthusiasts from across the country. Up to 500,000 vehicles pass the property annually, creating significant organic tourism exposure. The property is under 10 miles from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, under 20 miles from 10,000+ acres of hunting and fishing land, roughly 46 miles from Pigeon Forge, and about 30 minutes from downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee. The property includes 21 approved primitive campsites, with additional value-add potential through engineered septic and future build-out plans.Dragon City Resort is a 4.38-acre improved real estate offering on the Tennessee side of "The Dragon," the world-famous stretch of Highway 129/72. The improvements include a 12-unit condo-style motel building — each unit with a kitchen or kitchenette and full bath, plus a first-floor utility/storage room — and a freestanding restaurant building with an updated kitchen and an attached merchandise store. The offering also includes a 2.58-acre unrestricted parcel with 21 primitive camp sites. Site infrastructure is largely in place: partial gravel coverage, electric service, city water, and clear value-add build-out plans already mapped for the undeveloped balance of the land such as septic and soil testing. The property carries no zoning restrictions and sits on direct road frontage on Highway 129/72, at the Tennessee-side approach to the Dragon. This is the only hotel and restaurant resort on the Tennessee side of the Dragon — a fully improved, income-producing asset with no competing lodging or dining product on that stretch of road. The real estate is offered turnkey, with the current operating team, up to one year of seller transition support, and an established brand and social media following in place. Creative financing may be available.
