Living & working in Tellico Village, Loudon

Tellico Village is a 4,800-acre master-planned lakeside community located on the western shore of Tellico Lake in Loudon County, Tennessee, with its southern Kahite neighborhood extending into Monroe County. Though designed as an active-adult and retirement-oriented area, the community has no formal age restrictions. Single-family detached homes represent the dominant housing style, with sizes ranging from 1,500 to over 5,000 square feet, supplemented by attached townhomes and villas. Daily life centers on outdoor and athletic activities facilitated by the 26,000-square-foot Wellness Center, the Chota Recreation Center, and more than 20 miles of walking and hiking trails. Outdoor recreational spaces include Tugaloo Park, which features a sandy beach, playground, and the Rover Run dog park, alongside three private championship golf courses and three marinas providing boat slips on Tellico Lake.

The local business ecosystem is concentrated around Village Square and at the intersection of State Route 72 and the Tellico Parkway. Daily shopping needs are met by neighborhood businesses such as a Food Lion grocery store, Sloan’s Hardware, Preferred Pharmacy, and branches of Truist and United Community banks. For remote-work options, there are no commercial coworking spaces within Tellico Village itself; professionals typically travel to Knoxville to access facilities like Regus in Cedar Bluff or Spaces at 200 Prosperity Drive. Residents rely almost exclusively on personal vehicles for transportation, as there are no public rail lines or scheduled bus routes serving the community. Commuters reach major employment hubs in Knoxville, located approximately 31 miles to the northeast, via Tellico Parkway (State Route 444), State Route 95, and U.S. Route 321, which provides access to Interstate 75, while McGhee Tyson Airport is situated 28 miles east.
