If you've dreamed of owning a private sanctuary near the mountains with over a mile of direct riverfront access with trophy trout fishing on Watauga River then your search is over!
Properties like this one rarely come available! A gated entrance leads to 1.5 miles of paved driveway taking you through acres of rolling pasturelands, bordered by over 6,000 feet of scenic Watauga River frontage. As you drive through, you'll discover 2 hay sheds, 2 equipment sheds, a dog kennel, and 2 barns. Whether you dream of raising cattle, horses, or other animals or crops, this property is equipped for it all. You'll also have direct access to 1.5 miles of some of the best trophy trout fishing. This is mostly due to Watauga's blue ribbon trout factory containing about 6000 fish per mile! 85% of these are wild brown trout and the other 15% are stocked and wild rainbow trout. If you'd rather just relax, enjoy a peaceful full-day float and don't forget to wade during those low water flows! A circular driveway leads to the grand portico for easy access. Step inside and be greeted by a stunning double-sided stone fireplace, soaring vaulted ceilings, and an open floor plan. Entertain your guests in the large great room with its beautiful hardwood floors. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the back deck, overlooking the river and mountains beyond! This home's kitchen is a dream, featuring a large island, Thermador double ovens, a gas cooktop with griddle, two sinks, and ample storage. The luxury master suite provides a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a rainfall shower, jetted tub, and his/her toilets. You'll also find office space, a laundry room, and two additional bedrooms, each with full baths and walk-in closets. The finished basement provides additional living space and potential in-law suite with 2-car garage. Travel is made easy with the home's proximity to the Elizabethton Airport and Tri-Cities Airport, as well as nearby areas such as Asheville and Boone, NC. Whether your dream is private estate, wildlife preserve, or farm, let your imagination run wild as the possibilities for this property are endless!
