Discover Tellico Equestrian Retreat: A Secluded Retreat with Endless Possibilities! Nestled midway between Tellico Plains and Madisonville, this extraordinary 57-acre partially furnished estate offers the ultimate in privacy and natural beauty. Acquired in 2006 and meticulously developed, this property was envisioned as a premier equestrian retreat and now presents a unique opportunity for a private sanctuary or a lucrative bed & breakfast. While wonderfully secluded, you're just 12 minutes from everyday conveniences like Ingles and Walmart, and only 40 miles from the airport. The Main Residence Experience the charm of a beautifully remodeled and expanded home, now over 6,000 sq/ft (including garage, laundry, and pantry). This 5.5-bath residence seamlessly blends rustic elegance with modern comforts, featuring tongue and groove walls and hardwood floors throughout. The original 3-bedroom, 2-bath house is complemented by a spacious three-story addition (2014/2015) designed with a B&B setup in mind. This includes a large master suite with a dinette eating area, a convenient half-bath, and an upstairs lounge/bedroom with a full bath, balcony, and more hardwood floors. The oversized triple garage boasts comfortable radiant floor heating. Enjoy peace of mind with a Generac generator, a recently rebuilt well (new tank and pump in the last year), and a newly remodeled kitchen. A wood stove behind the house efficiently heats water for the radiant floor system. Additional Structures & Amenities Game Room/Guest Building: Located across the concrete driveway, this 600 sq/ft building features tongue and groove walls, hardwood floors, and a full bath – perfect for guests or entertaining. The concrete driveway is also ideal for motorcycle tourists. Barn & Apartment: Built in 2008/2009, the barn offers four paddocks, a meeting area, a half-bath, and an attached garage. Above the barn is a comfortable 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment. Equipment Garage & Caretaker's Apartment: Constructed approximately six years ago, this building features high UV-rated automatic doors and houses a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment with tongue and groove walls and hardwood floors, originally intended for a caretaker. Equestrian & Farm Facilities: Beyond the barn, you'll find four hen houses with elaborate roosts and aviary enclosures, complete with numerous laying hens (negotiable for sale with or without chickens!). Two adjoining carports provide ample equipment storage, and an enclosed metal hay storage building is situated in a small pasture. Optional Equipment: A range of valuable equipment, including a skid steer (for hay, wood splitting, or trail maintenance), a modern 4WD Kubota tractor with implements, an older Kubota RTV 900, and two Daihatsu mini trucks for property access, may be included in the sale.

This property is in a Secluded wooded setting, offering unparalleled tranquility and outdoor enjoyment. While this listing focuses on the impressive 57-acre parcel and its improvements, the possibility exists to acquire the entire 270-acre estate under the right circumstances.
