Live Without Compromise

This beautiful mountaintop property is a fantastic alternative to buying or building in a gated mountain community.  It is a refined, self-sufficient estate with picture-perfect views, privacy, and versatility, all without the constraints. No dues, no architectural review committees. Just open skies, endless vistas, and the freedom to live life your way.

With two parcels totaling over 32 acres, including a finely crafted main residence and a high-performance workshop or second home, this estate was built to last and designed to be lived in.

  • Enjoy postcard sunrise and sunset views from your 80 foot deck
  • Raise horses, chickens, gardens, or even a vineyard
  • Keep fit. Just walk out of your front door into the National Forest. There’s hiking, fly fishing, kayaking, and ATV trails, not to mention waterfalls, swimming holes and ever changing vistas
  • Host guests or multigenerational family visits in multiple buildings with space to expand
  • Keep it peaceful or make it playful with an existing  target range, art studio, and nature trail network.

Convenience Without Crowds

Many mountaintop communities require long drives to reach basic services, Paint Mountain Retreat is just 25 minutes from Greeneville, a charming mountain town that offers:

  • Two golf courses (Link Hills Country Club & Nolichucky View Golf Club)
  • A level one trauma center hospital
  • Shopping, fine dining, and cultural experiences including live theatre, music, and local artisan markets
  • Tusculum University, Tennessee’s oldest university with cultural events open to the public

And when you’re ready for even more:

  • Nearby Knoxville and Asheville offer fine dining, concerts, theater, museums, and international airports
  • Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains are a one hour drive for fun family excursions and scenic day trips
  • The Tri-Cities is home to  the Bristol Motor Speedway, the Hard Rock Casino and fabulous farmers markets

Freedom and Safety: The Best of Both Worlds

Some buyers equate gates with security, but privacy and location offer powerful protection. This estate sits at the end of a private 1,000′ driveway with no through traffic and no visibility from the road. Greeneville itself is a very safe community known for its neighborly values, small-town charm, and civic pride.

This is a place where children can run free, pick blackberries, spot deer at dawn, and splash in creeks.
