Many Villagers invite their neighbors to join them for a summer evening boat ride to the club’s courtesy dock, where they enjoy live music on most Friday evenings.

Numerous community organizations, such as Kiwanis and Garden Club, use the Yacht Club for monthly meetings. The Tellico Village Property Owners Association Board of Directors holds its open monthly meeting on the club’s top floor. There seems to be something going on at the club almost every night and day of the week.

The Yacht Club is a popular spot for weddings and wedding receptions. The club is available for the weddings of residents, their children, and individuals interested in renting the facility for a truly memorable event.

The Marinas of Tellico Village

Tellico Village has three marinas, and their proximity to Tellico Lake ensures easy access to all the lake offers. The Yacht Club Basin Marina is the community’s largest, with other facilities at the Tanasi Clubhouse and Kahite Neighborhood. With more than 800 slips, all types of boats—large and small—can be accommodated, including jet skis. There are a limited number of covered berths available. The marina docks are locked, and electrical and water services are provided to help residents maintain their watercraft.

Kayak Storage and Launch Facility

Some Village kayakers do not have a convenient place to store or means to transport their kayaks. For them, there is the Kayak Launch and Storage Facility found at I Dock in the Yacht Club Basin. The

facility holds 64 kayaks and is lighted, fenced and locked to provide maximum security for the vessels. Steps away from the storage area are two state-ofthe-art kayak launchers that allow facility renters easy entry and exit for their kayaks. Best of all, they never get wet while entering and exiting the Kayaks.

Rover Run Dog Park

Tellico Village Welcome Center

The Tellico Village Welcome Center is the first stop for many prospective Villagers. It is the place to get information and maps of the community. Thanks to its central Village location, the facility is the launching point for Village tours either with one of the Preferred Realtors or a Village resident as a guide.

The Marketing and Communications Department is located in the Welcome Center.

The park is operated by the Dog Owner’s Group (D.O.G.). It is about two acres in size and is separated by secured gate access into “large” and “small” dog areas.

A safe place to take dogs to meet friends, run and play, or enjoy the outdoors are important factors contributing to a dog’s physical and mental health. A well-exercised dog is a calm dog. Rover Run Dog Park has room for dogs to romp off-leash with other dogs or to play fetch with the tennis balls provided at the park. Multiple water faucets and bowls are available in the park. Trees have been planted to provide shade.

Membership fees fund 99% of park expenses. Guest passes are available. All dogs must show current vaccinations and be either spayed or neutered.

The Tellico Village Home Owners Association (HOA) works for the Tellico Village Homeowners. It is a social and advocacy organization within the community. With the collective support of all homeowners, the HOA effectively advocates for the benefits, services, and quality of life expected by all Villagers. The HOA also organizes and manages many of the community’s large-scale social events. To learn more, visit www.TellicoLife.org

Surrounded by the beauty of the Smoky and Cumberland Mountains, Tellico Village residents are afforded boundless opportunities to explore the natural wonders that lay along Tellico Lake, in the nearby Great Smoky Mountain National Park, and throughout Eastern and Central Tennessee.

Hiking is a favorite mode of exploration. Within the community, there are more than 30 miles of hiking trails. Many Villagers hike in small groups while others participate in one of the organized hiking clubs.

East Lakeshore Trail Hikers

Once every month, the East Lakeshore Trail Hikers cover up to three miles of the East Lakeshore Trail system. These easy trails are found on the opposite side of Tellico Lake from the community. The outings usually take a half day, and the trailheads are easily and quickly accessible from the Village.

Muddy Boots

Affiliated with the Tellico Village New Villagers Club, Muddy Boots organizes primarily easy monthly hikes.

Tellico Village Volunteer Fire Department

Community Spirit is Alive and Well in Tellico Village and at the Heart of the Tellico Village Volunteer Fire Department

Giving back comes naturally to Villagers, and the volunteer fire department is a prime example of how residents donate their time and money to co-create a community with a high quality of life.

Forty exceptional men and women staff the Tellico Village Volunteer Fire Department (TVVFD). Some have firefighting experience, and others hail from law enforcement or emergency medical technician backgrounds, but most do not and yet choose the TVVFD to serve their fellow neighbors.

All TVVFD members receive extensive and ongoing medical and firefighting training and are rated as

Emergency Medical Responders at a minimum, while others have higher certifications.

The TVVFD’s proficiency, equipment, and communications earned it an ISO rating of 4, placing it in the top 20 percent of statewide fire departments. The TVVFD prides itself on arriving in four minutes or less after a 911 call, twice as fast as the national average of nine minutes.

To maintain this level of quality and response time, the TVVFD depends upon a continuous influx of volunteers and tax-deductible donations. Learn more, apply to help, and donate at TellicoFD.org.

Members train for an auto fire, circular saw at the ready, and standing by at the hydrant.

Members Wayne Tinder and Mari Madden perform weekly vehicle check.

The Public Library at Tellico Village

More than 26 years ago, the Public Library at Tellico Village started via a large box at the Tellico Village Yacht Club labeled “Take a Book! Leave a Book!”

The library is now in its third generation; its 6,400-square-foot facility opened in 2012. The Public Library at Tellico Village is the only library in Tennessee that is not funded by a municipality. All operating funds—except for the head librarian and half of the assistant librarian’s salaries—are underwritten by the Friends of the Tellico Village Library.

With a membership that exceeds 1,000 Villagers, the Friends of the Tellico Village Library donate more than 22,000 hours annually to the library’s administration, fund-raising, and operational activities. Each day, members of the Friends organization welcome an average of 275 patrons to the library to check out books, use the 16-computerstation media room, attend life-long learning lectures, or visit the children’s reading corner.

The Public Library at Tellico Village is another outstanding example of volunteerism within the community.

Tellico Village Network

Tellico Village is home to its own television station, the Tellico Village Network (TVN), a local public access channel on Charter Cable Channel 193. Operated primarily by a dedicated team of volunteers, TVN delivers original programming and keeps residents informed with a continuous update of Village events. The station also live-streams Board Meetings and Town Halls, ensuring transparency and accessibility. Popular programs such as The Board Update, Rec Wrap, and Golf Talk cover topics of broad interest within

the Village. Additionally, the TVN website, tellicovillagenetwork.com, serves as a key resource for residents, providing information about various community activities and events.

Citizens Observer Patrol

C.O.Ps., The Citizens Observer Patrol is a proactive group that deters neighborhood crime and vandalism. It is an auxiliary operation of the Loudon County Sheriff’s Office, where trained volunteers patrol Tellico Village. COPs observe and report any problems and suspicious activity. Regular house checks are performed as requested by residents of the Village who may be away from their homes for vacations or extended periods. These requests are confidential. COPs volunteers may also be called upon to direct traffic at an accident scene, fires, or parades, handle crowd control, and assist the Sheriff’s office as requested.

Neighborhood Watch

Members of Neighborhood Watch receive monthly information from the Sheriff’s Office concerning traffic accidents and incidents in the Village, as well as information from the Fire Department and any other alerts that are deemed necessary via the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator. Members are only responsible for being alert to what is going on in their neighborhood and for reporting anything suspicious or unusual by phone.

Tellico Boaters Assistance Response Team

Known as T-BART, the Tellico Boaters Assistance Response Team is a large group of qualified Villagers who act as captains and crews to assist distressed boaters on Tellico Lake. On call from sunrise to sunset, T-BART members readily respond to 911 calls from boaters in need. Additionally, T-BART stages lake orientations annually to acquaint new and veteran boaters with Tellico Lake and provide the latest information on boating safety. A not-forprofit organization, T-BART holds an annual fundraiser and conducts a public meeting once a year to inform the Village about the group‘s status and accomplishments.

Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir

Supporting the policies and projects that protect and improve the environment in and around the Tellico Reservoir (Tellico Lake), the Watershed Association of the Tellico Reservoir is known locally as WATeR. The nonprofit association focuses on issues, policies, and practices that promote clean air, water, and natural habitat. WATeR strives to work cooperatively with governmental agencies and private organizations with similar goals. In the spring, WATeR organizes the communities on Tellico Lake in a large-scale shore cleanup usually resulting in the removal of five tons of water debris. The organization also maintains the East Lakeshore Trail System, ensuring the trails are free of fallen trees, overgrowth, and other hiking hazards.

So Much To Do

Tellico Village has a unique personality that brings new and long-term residents together in pursuit of shared interests and opportunities. Residents are warm and welcoming, and various clubs and activities provide avenues for entertainment and enrichment.

More than 200 clubs and organizations fulfill residents’ every interest.

Volunteer opportunities abound, and residents have significantly contributed to local communities through their charitable efforts. More than anything, Tellico Village is a place where friendships develop easily, interests can be pursued with others who share them, and all the resources for an active, happy, and rewarding life can be found.

More For Your Money

Tennessee always seems to have one of the country’s lowest living costs in any given year. This is an ideal environment for active adults looking to stretch their retirement dollars.

The benefits of this low cost of living are evident to Tellico Village residents, who enjoy an outstanding lifestyle with a minimal impact on their retirement savings. Much of this has to do with the limited or low taxes placed on Tennesseans. Here’s a quick summary of the taxes you will and will not find in the state:

• No state income tax

• No state estate tax

• No personal property taxes (the state does not tax your cars, boats, jet skis, etc.)

• No school taxes (investment in education is covered with property taxes)

• Low gasoline, diesel fuel, and tobacco taxes

• Lowest per capita property taxes in the country

• Sales tax of nine percent (Basically, a consumption tax; the more you spend, the more tax you pay. The sales tax varies by county.)

Combine this low-tax advantage with a community that stresses financial solvency, and you have a winning location: Tellico Village. It is a perfect place for active adults who want to concentrate on enjoying this phase of their lives unencumbered by financial concerns.

Tellico Village’s monthly assessment includes membership to all three private championship golf courses and the Yacht Club. There are no initiation fees to play golf or dine at the Yacht Club, which also has no monthly dining minimums. Assessments are the same for all property owners and presently are about $180 per month. Best of all, the Village offers potential residents a wide range of existing homes and buildable lots at varying price levels.

Throughout its 35+ year history, Tellico Village has benefited from careful resource management and strong strategic planning. The result is one of the nation’s most financially sound and stable active adult communities.

Living Here Is Special

What a place! Nearby mountains, a lovely lake that stretches forever, beautiful golf courses, numerous other amenities, friendly people, and a home just for you—it is a lifestyle that simply cannot be beaten. Find an existing home or townhome, purchase an available lot, and build your dream home. It is time to start experiencing everything special about Tellico Village.

With a wide assortment of homes and lots to offer, future residents can find a home or location to meet the most exacting standards. Tellico Village has eight large neighborhoods in two adjacent counties: Loudon (Zip code: 37774) and Monroe (Zip code: 37885).

Explore these options with one of seven local preferred real estate firms. Most of the firm’s staff members are residents of the Village and have sold real estate in the community for many years. They can help locate that special place, whether an existing home or lot.

Townhomes & Villas

While there are many styles of single-family houses in Tellico Village, there are also many styles and locations of townhouses in our community. The 11 townhouse areas in various neighborhoods were developed beginning in the 1990s. All 11 townhouse neighborhoods have an elected representative on the Tellico Village Townhouse Association board and operate under the same TVTA Governance Documents (Articles of Incorporation, Supplemental Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, and the Restated Bylaws).

Some townhouses are on the water and have private docks, but most residents moor their boats in common dock locations throughout Tellico Village.

Tellico Village townhouse maintenance dues range from approximately $120 to $230 monthly, depending on the neighborhood. These dues are in addition to the Tellico Village Property Owners Association monthly assessment.
