Dreaming of the Tennessee mountain and lake lifestyle with a touch of luxury? Your dream getaway awaits in the gated community of Bear Ridge Estates! Tucked among the trees on 1.2 acres in Butler, Tennessee, this beautiful home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and modern mountain living. Custom-built in 2020, it features a beautiful wood and stone exterior, with wood trim, beams, and wood ceilings throughout the interior. High ceilings, tall doors, and spacious doorways add to the home's open and inviting feel. The open kitchen and living area overlook the beautiful wooded surroundings, with large windows that fill the space with natural light. The inviting living area features a natural gas fireplace, creating the perfect cozy atmosphere for relaxing after a day on the lake or enjoying a quiet evening in the mountains. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, tile backsplash, and a large island with seating. The adjoining dining area offers a charming wood ceiling and scenic outdoor views. All three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level in a split-bedroom layout, with the primary suite on one side of the home and two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the other. The primary suite opens directly onto the covered rear porch and features a double vanity, a large tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving and drawers. Upstairs, a spacious second living area features a vaulted ceiling with beautiful wood accents, an office nook, and plenty of room for exercise equipment, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. The main-level laundry room includes a folding counter, shelving, and an exterior entrance near the garage. Additional features include a tankless water heater for convenient, on-demand hot water. The covered rear porch offers plenty of room for outdoor dining and seating, while the adjoining open deck overlooks the peaceful wooded backyard. A walkway leads to a separate gathering deck with a fire pit, creating the perfect spot to unwind on a cool evening. The current owners have also made thoughtful improvements to the outdoor space, adding an attractive retaining wall that expands the yard and creates a much larger, more level area for enjoying the outdoors. A matching retaining wall along the side and rear of the detached garage adds a polished, finished look while enhancing the overall appeal of the property. A covered front porch and detached two-car garage with additional room for storage or a workbench complete the property. Just minutes from Cove Ridge Marina, this home makes it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, and relaxing on beautiful Watauga Lake. For another fun local attraction, Villa Nove Winery is approximately 20 minutes away and offers wine tastings, charcuterie boards, light bites that pair perfectly with their wines, and live music--a wonderful spot to enjoy a relaxing afternoon or evening. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a mountain getaway, or a place to enjoy the best of East Tennessee lake living, this property offers a wonderful combination of comfort, privacy, and convenience.
