About This Home

Back on market because buyer's home did not sell! Just minutes from Watauga Lake and the Sink Mountain boat ramp, this fully furnished mountain retreat offers four sleeping areas and flexible accommodations, making it ideal for lake weekends, mountain escapes or vacation rental guests. Located just around the corner from Villa Nova Vineyard, the property combines scenic mountain views, expansive outdoor living spaces and turnkey convenience in one of the region's most sought-after recreation destinations. With strong short-term and long-term rental potential, this home offers both lifestyle appeal and investment opportunity. Now offered at an improved price of $385,000, this 1,960-square-foot residence sits on a level lot with a grassy backyard, paved circular drive and multiple outdoor living spaces overlooking peaceful mountain and pastoral views. Designed for comfort and flexibility, the home is officially permitted as a two-bedroom but provides two additional sleeping areas or flex spaces, ideal for remote work, guests or overflow accommodations. The main-level primary suite features dual walk-in closets and a spacious en-suite bath with a garden tub and walk-in shower. Vaulted ceilings elevate the great room, where a two-story stone propane fireplace and handcrafted mountain laurel railings create a warm mountain aesthetic. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas, and the open-concept floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining and entertaining spaces. Outdoor living is a highlight of the property. Enjoy scenic mountain views from the recently stained rear deck or relax on the covered front porch, perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings in the mountains. Additional features include a one-car garage, basement storage, high-speed fiber internet through Skyline Skybest and public water via Mountain City, providing modern convenience in a peaceful mountain setting. Located moments from boating, fishing and recreation at Watauga Lake, this property offers an effortless option for a personal mountain getaway, full-time residence or income-producing vacation rental. Furnishings convey with minor exclusions, allowing for immediate enjoyment or rental readiness.
