This would make a great short term rental. A true Vintage Valle Crucis farm house overlooking the Watauga River. Built in 1900 with modern conveniences and gentle upgrades to keep the charm that this place had over 100 years ago. You will love the huge front porch and the sound of the Watauga River. A small stream bubbles on the edge of the property and a small barn for storage. It also has a underground root cellar and a nice rock wall behind the house. The 15 foot deeded river access will be great for fishing, rafting, or canoeing. This is truly a Valle Crucis gem with all the charm of days gone by. Just 2 miles to the Mast Store, the Valle Crucis park, and near downtown Boone.
