About this home
Welcome to one of the most uniquely positioned properties on beautiful Watauga Lake! This charming 1,275 sq ft A-frame chalet-style home sits on 1.17 unrestricted acres in Johnson County, Tennessee, nestled in a breathtaking wooded setting just steps from the water's edge with seasonal lake views. Being sold fully furnished & move-in ready, all that's missing is you! Whether you're seeking a private personal retreat, a full-time residence, or a short-term rental investment -- the unrestricted status makes every option possible. Location simply does not get better for the lake & mountain lifestyle enthusiast -- just 3 miles to Lakeview Marina & only 4 minutes to new Sink Valley Boat Ramp access to Watauga Lake at this price is hard to fine.
Pull up the paved drive & you'll immediately feel transported. Surrounded by lush, mature hardwoods on all sides, this property offers a level of seclusion & privacy that is genuinely rare. The dramatic A-frame exterior with soaring cathedral windows, green metal roof accents, & multiple decks creates a striking first impression that only gets better as you step inside.
Step through the front door onto the main level & prepare to be wowed. A stunning sunroom-style living area wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows & sliding glass doors floods the space with natural light & frames the surrounding woodland canopy beautifully. Warm tongue-&-groove wood ceilings flow throughout, complemented by a wood burning stove, built-in cabinetry, & a cozy breakfast bar perfect for casual entertaining. The kitchen features spacious oak cabinetry, generous counter space, & a full appliance suite, all bathed in natural light from multiple windows with wooded views on every side. A dedicated dining area with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, & a stunning stained glass pendant light provides plenty of space for gatherings. The main floor master bedroom offers a comfortable private retreat, & a full bathroom serves this level.
Up the stairs from the main floor, the loft is an enchanting sleeping space tucked beneath soaring tongue-&-groove cathedral ceilings -- a cozy, intimate retreat that perfectly captures the spirit of mountain cabin living, with a gable-end window that connects you to the treetops just outside.
A charming circular staircase leads down to the lower level -- the finished garage doubles as sprawling recreation & entertainment space that is truly one of a kind with LVP flooring, drop ceiling with panel lighting, a ceiling fan, pool table, dart board, washer & dryer, & a garage door that opens wide to bring the outside in -- this level is perfect for entertaining, overflow sleeping, or simply enjoying a rainy mountain day indoors. A second full bathroom serves this level as well. The sitting room, bar area feature a cozy wood stove, and second refrigerator.
Outside, multiple decks offer wonderful spaces to grill, dine, & soak in the wooded surroundings. A separate open-air metal carport provides additional covered parking or storage.
The surrounding Cherokee National Forest provides endless outdoor recreation. Conveniently located 21 minutes from Mountain City TN, 25 minutes to Elizabethton TN, & about 45 minutes to Boone NC & the NC High Country, wintertime skiing and actives are not far away either. 4 minutes to Sink Mountain Launch & 3 minutes to Lakeview Marina.
