About This Home

Perched above the crystal-clear waters of Watauga Lake, this extraordinary fully furnished retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience luxury mountain and lake living surrounded by some of the country's most breathtaking natural beauty. Located at 683 Lakeridge Drive in Butler, Tennessee, this custom-built 2023 residence was thoughtfully designed to capture sweeping long-range views of Watauga Lake and the surrounding mountains from nearly every room. Additional value is offered through a $10,000 landscaping credit with an acceptable offer, providing flexibility for future outdoor enhancements.

Often regarded as one of the most pristine lakes in the country, Watauga Lake features more than 6,400 acres of sparkling water bordered by the protected landscapes of the Cherokee National Forest. Renowned for its remarkable clarity and peaceful atmosphere, the area offers endless opportunities for boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking the Appalachian Trail, visiting nearby vineyards, and enjoying convenient access to ski resorts for exceptional four-season recreation.

Inside, the home blends elevated design with warm, inviting living spaces. The open-concept main level is filled with natural light and anchored by a stunning great room with soaring windows, a beautiful propane fireplace, and expansive decking designed to maximize the spectacular lake and mountain views. The chef's kitchen was created for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring quartz countertops, a massive eat-in island, propane range, pantry, and thoughtfully curated finishes throughout.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with double closets and a spa-inspired bath showcasing designer tilework and an oversized rain shower. Upstairs, a spacious open loft provides incredible flexibility for a home office, reading lounge, additional sleeping area, or playroom -- all while overlooking the dramatic scenery below.

Designed with entertaining in mind, the lower level offers an exceptional gathering space complete with an expansive game room, theater room with wet bar, and direct access to covered outdoor living areas overlooking the lake and mountains. Two additional guest bedrooms, a dedicated fitness room, full bath, and laundry room complete the thoughtfully designed lower level.

Offered fully furnished and completely turnkey, this remarkable property allows for immediate enjoyment from day one -- whether as a luxurious full-time residence, refined mountain getaway, or premier investment opportunity.

From sunrise over the lake to evenings spent gathered around the fire after a day on the water or trails, this is more than just a home -- it is a chance to own an unforgettable lifestyle in one of Tennessee's most extraordinary lake and mountain settings.
