About this home
MOUNTAIN MAGNIFICENCE! Exquisitely Designed Mountain Top Mountain Mansion with 7+ Acres Commanding Tater Hill Has No Equal! Wooded privacy guarantees your tranquility & seclusion and the grandeur of this residence will transport you to an entirely different universe. Start with the most pristine, natural setting imaginable in Watauga County (and only eleven miles to downtown Boone) with the sounds of waterfalls, bird chirping and the wind whisking through the trees as your only intrusion. Stand on the front porch at night under the stars with the scent of fresh, forest fragrance in the breeze wondering how lucky you were to ever live on such land. Then walk inside to the comfort of an incomparably designed mountain home replete with six French doors bathing the entire interior with natural golden sunlight. Feast your eyes on the hardwood floors, designer kitchen, immense views from any window, tasteful trim, hardware and fixtures and ask yourself if you've ever seen a mountain home that so quickly captured your heart. Set an appointment and come see.
