Lipford Trl (Lot 31), Butler, TN 37640 — 3.80± acres of lake-and-mountain living with electricity already available; plan for a private water source and septic to suit your build. Tucked on a quiet country lane just minutes from Watauga Lake, this tract offers the privacy you want with the playground you crave—boating, paddling, trophy fishing, and endless shoreline adventures framed by the Cherokee National Forest. Butler is the “town that wouldn’t drown,” reborn on higher ground after the Watauga Dam created today’s crystal-clear lake; its living history, small-town friendliness, and outdoor culture give the area an authenticity buyers love. Weekends write themselves: launch at nearby marinas, hike local trail systems (including access points to the Appalachian Trail), or throttle up at Doe Mountain Recreation Area’s multi-use trail network. Everyday needs are easy in Mountain City and Elizabethton, with the bigger-city draw of Johnson City, Boone, and Bristol close enough for hospitals, universities, shopping, dining, and year-round events. The regional economy blends tourism, healthcare, education, light manufacturing, and a growing remote-work base—meaning you can invest in lifestyle without sacrificing access or opportunity. Wide-open canvas, real amenities, and a storybook setting—this is the kind of acreage people wait for. Secure Lot 31 on Lipford Trail and turn long weekends into your everyday life—bring your plans, bring your toys, and build the mountain-lake retreat you’ll be proud to own.
