Set high along a ridgeline of Paint Mountain, part of the beautiful Blue Ridge range, this 32-acre retreat unfolds from a commanding ridgetop elevation down to a gentle mountain valley. The land encompasses two contiguous parcels: a finely crafted, high-performance main residence on 27 acres, and a 3,200-square-foot multi-use workshop on an adjoining 5-acre tract. With uninterrupted views, direct access to vast, protected lands of the Cherokee National Forest, and no land restrictions, the property offers a rare balance of architectural quality, long-term versatility, and total privacy. It's an ideal setting for a self-sufficient estate, multi-generational/ multi-family compound, or a creative retreat with space to live, work, and grow. The main house combines low maintenance design with age-in-place sensibility. At 1,640 finished square feet on the main floor, it features two bedrooms, two baths, and a dramatic great room with 14-foot ceilings and walls of windows that frame panoramic views from every angle. Two glass doors open to an 80-foot Azek deck that redefines indoor-outdoor living. Interior features include light-tone hardwood floors, pocket doors, open-plan kitchen and living areas, and a spa-like ensuite bath with a curbless double-shower. Downstairs, a full walk-out lower level adds another 1,600 square feet, with 10-foot ceilings, huge windows, and polished concrete floors. Already stubbed for another bath and with radiant heat in the floor, this space is ready for additional bedrooms, a separate guest suite, or an indulgent hobby studio, doubling the livable square footage with minimal effort. Across the woods with its own private driveway, the 3,200-square-foot workshop is equally impressive in quality and adaptability. With 12-foot ceilings, continuous insulation, abundant natural light, and a polished concrete floor throughout, the space is currently configured as a large art studio and business office. It includes a full bath, a laundry, covered porches, and all of the mechanicals needed for residential or commercial use. The barndominium start can serve as a guest residence, a second primary dwelling for extended family use, or a hub for entrepreneurial pursuits. Two additional 20x30 insulated outbuildings provide room for garages, storage, stables, or more workspace. The acreage is a mix of forest and level pasture. It has been maintained without chemicals and offers excellent sun exposure and ample flat areas for gardens or events. There are no limitations on use. You can build houses on 9 additional already surveyed lots, you can raise horses or simply enjoy the serenity. And just by stepping past your property line, you are in the heart of the Cherokee National Forest, more than 650,000 acres of protected wilderness at your feet. Step into a world of endless trails, fly-fishing streams, cascading waterfalls, and quiet swimming holes, all without ever needing to start your car. It's a naturalist's paradise, alive with deer, wild turkey, and the soundscape of the forest. Whether you're drawn to backcountry adventures or simply want the freedom to roam, this property connects you directly to one of the largest expanses of wild public land in the eastern U.S., a rare and priceless extension of your own backyard. Paint Mountain Retreat is only 25 minutes to Greeneville—a historic and friendly town with all the conveniences you may need. It's a scenic one-hour drive to Asheville or Knoxville, and under 90 minutes to the AVL, TRI or TYS airports. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property's proximity to the Appalachian Trail and the region's many lakes and rivers. Enjoy all four seasons in their full beauty—from spring wildflowers to autumn's brilliant foliage—without Mother Nature's harsh extremes.
