1098 Paint Mountain Rd Greeneville, TN 37743

Built on the ridgeline of Paint Mountain, this contemporary home on 27 acres offers the kind of privacy, design, and natural immersion that's increasingly rare in today's market. Surrounded by unspoiled forest and panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the home is sited to capture sunrise, sunset, and shifting light across the landscape. At an elevation of 2,000 feet, the house enjoys four-season beauty, abundant wildlife, and excellent year-round access.
The home itself is a modern architectural statement that feels entirely at ease in its Appalachian setting. Even its roof angles reflect the mountain ridges in the background. Custom-built with a focus on performance and ageing-in-place, the 3,240-square-foot home features 1,640 finished square feet on the main level with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a dramatic great room with soaring 14-foot ceilings and walls of windows that blur the line between indoors and out. Light-toned hardwoods flow through the open flooplan. A European-style kitchen and contemporary architectural details lend the home a design-forward edge rarely seen in the region. Step through either of the glass doors to an 80-foot Azek deck that extends your living and entertaining space into the clouds. The layout is practical yet stylish, designed for low maintenance living, with wide doorways, a primary suite on the main level, and a spa-like ensuite bath featuring a curbless dual rainfall shower.
Below the main living space lies an additional 1,600 square feet of unfinished walk-out level with 10-foot ceilings, polished concrete floors, huge windows, and glass French doors leading directly to the lawn. Stubbed for another bath and with radiant-heat flooring already in place, this level offers room for additional bedrooms, a home theater, craft studio, gym, or a workshop.
The house was custom built with attention to efficiency and durability, including metal roofing, Hardie siding, aluminum clad wood windows, and high-efficiency mechanical systems. A whole-house water filtration system is installed, and solar infrastructure supports off-grid potential. Whether you envision self-sufficiency or simply want peace of mind, the property is designed to adapt with you.
The property includes a mix of woods and flat grassland, with walking trails, creeks and a spring-fed pond. There are two additional outbuildings and a fenced playground for pets. It's a naturalist's dream, alive with deer, wild turkey, and songbirds. The pasture is free from pesticides or chemicals, offering potential for gardening or permaculture. There are nine additional (surveyed and perked) building sites suitable for development.
And just beyond the edge of your lawn lies something very few properties can claim: direct walk-out access to over 650,000 acres of the National Forest. Step from your front door onto a network of trails for hiking, horseback riding and ATV exploration. Go fly-fishing in the stocked Paint Creek, swim beneath a waterfall, or kayak in the French Broad River. This seamless access to wild land adds both protection and priceless freedom.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the property is only 25 miles to Greeneville, a historic East Tennessee town with quality healthcare, local restaurants, and a charming Main Street. Two golf courses, a performing arts center, and downtown boutiques are about a half-hour drive away. Asheville and Knoxville, with their sport and cultural events, and major airports, can be reached in just over an hour. Dollywood, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are even closer. Unlike more remote mountain locales, this one balances privacy with true convenience.
For buyers seeking a quieter kind of luxury, this is a rare opportunity. Come walk the ridgeline, breathe the forest air, and see what it means to live in harmony with nature without leaving modern comforts behind.
