A quick 15-minute drive places you at some of Tennessee’s premier trout fishing waters along the legendary Tellico River and its many pristine tributaries. This region is beloved by anglers for its cold, clear streams stocked with rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy easy access to numerous nearby whitewater rivers, including the Tellico, Hiwassee, Nantahala, and the world-famous Ocoee River—home to the 1996 Olympic whitewater events. Whether you prefer fly-fishing, tubing, kayaking, or full-scale whitewater rafting, this area delivers unforgettable experiences for every skill level.

Surrounded by agricultural and wooded tracts, the land features mature hardwoods, gentle buildable terrain, and multiple potential cabin sites. The peaceful setting makes it ideal for a personal mountain retreat, vacation getaway, or long-term land investment. With ample road frontage and easy year-round access, the property combines privacy with convenience—something increasingly hard to find in the Smokies.

Tellico Plains itself is a charming mountain town known for its welcoming community, scenic beauty, and gateway location to the Cherokee National Forest and the Cherohala Skyway.

Minutes away, the Cherohala Skyway offers one of the most breathtaking scenic drives in the Southeast, reaching elevations above 5,000 feet with sweeping views of untouched mountain wilderness.
