A rare opportunity to own a custom-built home with a separate guest residence on approximately 5 acres in the heart of East Tennessee. The main home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, featuring quality craftsmanship throughout. The kitchen includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, opening into warm and inviting living spaces with hardwood flooring and exposed wood beams. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace adds to the home's character, while covered outdoor areas provide additional space to relax and enjoy the natural setting. The property also includes a separate guest home--originally the farmhouse--offering 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. With its own driveway and utilities, this home offers flexibility for a guest house, rental opportunity, or private retreat. With some updates and TLC, it has excellent potential while maintaining separation from the main residence. The setting provides a balance of privacy and usability, with wooded surroundings and open space around the home. Additional improvements include three outbuildings, one being a 12x24 metal building with power on a concrete slab. Conveniently located just minutes from Watauga Lake, Roan Mountain State Park, Cherokee National Forest, and within driving distance to Banner Elk, Boone, and Elizabethton for shopping and dining.
