Contact Us About This Property

Experience a rare piece of Blue Ridge history where the soothing sounds of the Watauga River define a setting of serenity and natural beauty. For the first time since its original construction, this meticulously maintained estate on 3.85 acres of unrestricted land is available, offering an idyllic lifestyle with a view that looks like a scene straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Perched securely on a knoll overlooking 169 feet of private river frontage, the home remained perfectly dry and safe during recent historic weather events, providing invaluable peace of mind. The main level welcomes you with an airy open-concept design anchored by a magnificent stone wo...od-burning fireplace with a custom solid wood mantel. A thoughtfully designed kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a pantry flows into the spacious living areas and three comfortable bedrooms, including a primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and excellent storage throughout. Step outside to the expansive covered porch or the oversized side deck to soak in the sweeping views of the river and the rolling valley beyond. Practicality meets ease with dual driveway access, providing an option for seamless entry to the main level without stairs. The lower daylight basement serves as a complete guest apartment or high-potential rental, featuring a kitchen, living area with a cozy woodstove, an office and bonus room, and sliding doors that open to a covered patio and a fire pit perfect for starlit gatherings. This is a property where wonderful memories are made, having served as a cherished family wedding venue and as a sanctuary for generations. Whether you are launching a kayak into the Watauga River or simply watching the golden hour light dance across the water, this property offers an authentic mountain experience that is truly a one-of-a-kind gem.
