This is true mountain living amongst beautiful tall pines on a hill overlooking Watauga River. It doesn't get any better than this! Very private, huge decks to enjoy the feeling of a mountain retreat. Possible river view with some tree cutting. Flat land around the house, walk to the river to swim or fish. Wood burning FP in LR, cool dining room, big kitchen. There is a beautiful, almost old world ambiance to this home. Great for the family to gather. House has back up generator so no problem in the winter! Must see to experience this beautiful mountain setting and cozy home! Total privacy. Lots of room for kids and adults to have their separate spaces in the house and yard, both. Additions to this home were done in 1995 and 2002. 2 miles from Historic Valle Crucis. River access near end of driveway for tubing or fishing. Can bike down Watauga River Rd. This house and location has it all! Home is perked for 3 bedrooms but has 4 bedrooms in it.
