If desired, the parcels can be divided, offering opportunities for future development or resale. The main level of the home showcases vaulted ceilings, an open-concept layout and a panoramic wall of windows framing the stunning landscape. A stone propane fireplace anchors the great room, while the chef’s kitchen includes LG black stainless appliances, quartz countertops, a walk-in pantry, and a stone-accented island with a propane cooktop and generous seating. The main-level primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-like en-suite bath with tranquil mountain views. Two dedicated office spaces on the main level provide ideal flexibility for remote work or additional sleeping quarters—and with high-speed fiber internet available, the property is perfectly equipped for modern living and virtual productivity. The lower level, with separate entry, includes a second full kitchen, stone fireplace, two bedrooms, full bath, safe room, fitness area, and a large unfinished bonus space ideal for a media room or future expansion. Outdoor living includes a covered main-level deck, fire pit area, terraced garden beds, and picturesque vistas from nearly every angle. The attached three-car garage is complemented by a 40x60x16 foot detached workshop featuring 200-amp service, spray foam insulation, plumbing, and four oversized bays—ideal for boat or RV storage. Watauga Lake is one of the most pristine and scenic bodies of water in the Southeast.
