Property Description

Welcome to this majestic manor situated on the picturesque Watauga Lake, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and lake. This extraordinary four-bedroom retreat spans over 3,300 square feet across three levels, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Located within the Cherokee National Forest, the property boasts stunning views of Watauga Lake and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The interior features a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and handmade Cherrywood cabinets. The open-concept living space boasts soaring cathedral ceilings, a stunning fireplace with gas logs, and wooden accents sourced from the local river. The main master suite offers private deck access, while the expansive grounds provide stunning views of the Cherokee National Forest and Watauga Lake. Additional features include a finished basement, walk-in closet, and hardwood floors.
Custom Wood finishes, custom hand railing, custom knobs, stairs, some of the wood came from the property and other from Montana. The seller has put a lot of love and caring into this home. Large living area with an open concept with views overlooking Watauga Lake and a large family room in basement for extra entertainment space. Great for TV room, pool table as is, or just plain entertaining. This one-of-a-kind custom mountain home is a true masterpiece, designed by the seller with a commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and character. Built with a solid cinder block foundation filled with poured cement, the home is exceptionally sturdy and designed to stand the test of time. The striking picture windows at the front of the house were custom-designed and manufactured, offering expansive views and natural light that floods the interior.

Every element of the home speaks to thoughtful design and high-end detail. All of the interior doors are extra wide and were handmade by a specialty company in Montana, then flown in to complete the home’s unique aesthetic. The staircase was crafted using timber sourced directly from the property itself, adding a meaningful, natural touch. In the kitchen, you’ll find beautiful, handmade cherry wood cabinetry created by a skilled local cabinet maker from the nearby town of Valley Cruse.

The floors throughout the home are solid hardwood, giving a warm, cohesive feel in every room. The fireplace and chimney were both handcrafted using stone from the local river, blending artistry with functionality. The exterior timber was recently resurfaced and refinished by the original craftsman who helped build the home, preserving the integrity and beauty of the woodwork.

In the master bedroom, the custom jacuzzi bathtub includes built-in light therapy for a spa-like experience right at home. Perhaps most impressive are the surroundings: stunning, unobstructed views of Cherokee National Park and nearby Watauga Lake, with the water just a five-minute walk from your door. Watauga Lake has been named the third cleanest lake in the country!

This is more than just a home, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of art, rooted in located materials, built with passion, and set in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes imaginable.
