Great Peaceful Location Nestled in the Foothills of Upper East Tennessee - This 1.48 Acre tract is a gently sloping meadow with tall timbers and bordered by small stream on the front side. This land is very tranquil with cozy area with an existing firepit and stone grill, little footbridge over small wet branch, old garden shed and an area for a garden. 1 Room Cabin has many possibilities - needs renovations to be able to occupy! Old timey stoned root cellar with workshop on top!. There is a temp electric pole and public water available at the road. Main driveway has nice size bridge over creek with 2 stone columns. Very private location just perfect for weekend retreat or build your dream home! Great country location with close access to the Appalachian Trail, Watauga Lake, Watauga River ''Trout Trophy Fishing River'' 20 minutes to Damascus, VA and approx. 1 hour to Boone, NC with all Ski Resorts. We seldom have nice acreage like this - so don't miss out!
