About this home
On six pristine acres along the Watauga River, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to own riverfront land with elevated building potential.

The wood-burning stone fireplace creates a cozy ambiance. The property showcases a dynamic landscape that includes a tranquil meadow, wooded trails and multiple homesite possibilities, each offering privacy and scenic views.
