I traded a few emails with the owner (Jayne) and it sounds like there are several people interested in buying the park. One guy is in the process of doing a due diligence.

To reopen as an off-road Park, or 80’s style resort retreat?

Golden Mountain Park

I heard others did due diligence and the numbers didn’t add up for a loan.

She has dropped the price down to $850,000 for 326 acres, which is only $2,600 an acre. doesn't seem crazy. There are some issues, some of the property has been labeled as commercial by the county, which raises the taxes. Also, a lot of maintenance will need to be done up front.

I've seen a few deer there. Could lease a few tracts out for hunting or open the track back up.
Several of those buildings could be fixed with a bulldozer though.

I don't know if it would really make enough money on deer hunting. I would have to think the people in TN have plenty of places to hunt for free. And to attract people out of state you would have to have some sort of deer management program, which is another whole business.

With that huge pavilion on top I would think with the right marketing and advertisement a person could make decent money off of it. Advertise the hell out of for wedding venues. And by advertising I would just go buy a database dump of all the wedding planners in the US and start hitting them up. Let them do all of the work, just rent the pavilion out for $4k a pop. There is a huge market for this. Another idea would be to hit big time corporations for team building efforts. Build a few obstacle course for them to play on and do whatever or offer some sort of off-roading event. Either build a couple of buggies that can carry passengers or just make a deal with some of the locals to take them out on the trails. A couple of concerts through out the year. A big Halloween bash with some awesome hayrides through the trails at night.

The race track has all kinds of opportunity as well. Derbies, truck and tractor pulls, tough truck course. Running any actual races at night could pose a potential noise problem with the neighbors, being that it's at the bottom there.

Not that I have given this much thought lol.

The pavilion rental idea would require a good amount of paving to make it accessible by normal cars.  Of course, the pavilion and the bathhouse need some love...it was really getting run down the last time I was there.

Chuck...make it happen!
