About this home

Welcome to Bearpaw - a rare 67.5± acre East Tennessee retreat featuring a true, genuine, authentic barndominium created from a restored 100-year-old barn. Tucked away in the mountains of Tellico Plains and bordering the Cherokee National Forest, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of history, adventure, privacy, and possibility. The original barn structure and roof framing were carefully preserved, reinforced, and rebuilt, while modern improvements, including spray foam insulation, rebuilt flooring, walls, roofing, and new metal exterior finishes, create a comfortable living space filled with rustic character and authenticity. This is not a new build designed to imitate a barn; this is the real thing. Adding even more flexibility to the property, a future detached building is included in the purchase price. The site already features a full concrete foundation with electrical and water in place, and the building will be completed with the full exterior shell and roof. The finished structure offers endless possibilities for use as a workshop, equipment or motorcycle storage, animal space, or whatever best fits the next owner's needs. Bearpaw is offered fully furnished, making this a true turnkey opportunity, whether you're searching for a private mountain retreat, recreational getaway, homestead, or investment property. The land itself offers open pasture (approx. 13 +/- acres of the 67.5+/- total acres) ideal for horses, cattle, or farm animals, along with extensive mountain acreage featuring thoughtfully designed ATV, horseback riding, hiking, and utility trails complete with drainage and spacious turnarounds throughout the property. Nichols Branch Creek winds through the property and can even be heard flowing from the second-story deck. Located just a few miles from downtown Tellico Plains, Indian Boundary Lake, Bald River Falls, and the Cherohala Skyway, the property provides convenient access to some of East Tennessee's most sought-after outdoor destinations while still maintaining complete privacy and seclusion. The level of detail, craftsmanship, and planning throughout this property is truly unmatched, with an extensive spec sheet and property details available upon request. Bearpaw offers an authentic mountain lifestyle experience that is increasingly difficult to find. Call today to make it yours.
