This 5-acre property offers a wonderful combination of open pasture and lightly wooded areas, providing both usable space and natural beauty. The raised ranch-style home features 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, updates throughout, an open-concept feel at the entry, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace.

The property offers plenty of options for those looking for room to spread out, including a private well, paved driveway, two-car carport, and drive-under tandem two-car garage. The full unfinished basement has both interior and exterior entrances and offers additional space ready to be finished to suit your needs. An 18 x 36 unfinished pool house provides even more possibilities and could be completed for a variety of uses, including an accessory unit, subject to applicable approvals, or simply finished to the buyer's style and needs.

Conveniently located near Watauga Lake, the Appalachian Trail, Virginia Creeper Trail, Boone, and the Tri-Cities, while still offering the peace and beauty of the mountains. Easy access and mountain views add to the appeal. Come enjoy all four seasons in beautiful Northeast Tennessee!
